Marine Plywood Testing (IS: 710)

Universal Testing & Research Center (Division of Sustainable Stewardship Private Limited), an ISO 17025:2017 certified Laboratory approved by BIS, NABL and QAI. We are provide complete solution of the testing requirement of wood industries.Testing for marine plywood involves assessing its quality and performance, particularly its ability to withstand exposure to moisture and harsh environmental conditions.

Tests for Marine Plywood:

  • Boiling Water Resistance Test: This test evaluates the plywood's resistance to delamination and other structural changes when immersed in boiling water. It helps determine the glue bond strength under wet conditions
  • Tensile Strength and Elongation Test: This assesses the ability of the plywood to resist forces that could cause it to stretch or deform. It is crucial for ensuring the overall strength and durability of the material.
  • Bending Strength Test: This test measures the ability of marine plywood to withstand bending forces without breaking. It is essential for assessing the material's structural integrity.
  • Glue Shear Strength Test: Evaluates the adhesive strength between the veneers, ensuring that the glue used in the plywood can withstand exposure to moisture without losing its bonding properties.
  • Boil Test for Voids: This test involves boiling the plywood to identify any voids or gaps in the construction that could compromise its integrity.
  • Density and Moisture Content Test: These tests measure the density of the plywood and its moisture content, which are critical factors in determining its performance in marine environments.
  • Resistance to Fungi and Marine Borers: Marine plywood should be resistant to fungal decay and attacks by marine borers. Tests are conducted to ensure that the plywood can withstand these environmental challenges.
