Plywood comes with all kinds of labels. Moisture resistant. Weatherproof. Water repellent. But there’s one term that often stands out, i.e., Boiling Waterproof. It sounds impressive. But what does it really mean?
Let’s break it down. Boiling Waterproof, or BWP grade, is not just a fancy phrase. It is a technical standard that tells you how tough your plywood really is. And when it comes to meeting this benchmark, Sainik 710 plywood delivers with confidence.
The Science Behind Boiling Waterproof
Boiling Waterproof means the plywood can withstand being submerged in boiling water for up to 72 hours without losing its strength or shape. That’s not a marketing line. It’s an actual test.
Imagine putting a plywood sheet in boiling water for three days straight. Most boards would warp, peel, or disintegrate. But BWP-grade plywood like Sainik 710 remains intact. This makes it ideal for spaces where moisture is part of everyday life. Think kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and exposed areas.
How Sainik 710 Achieves It
It’s not just the outer finish. Sainik 710 is waterproof plywood from the core. Every sheet is bonded with high-quality BWP-grade phenolic resin. This resin acts as a sealant, preventing water from entering the plywood layers.
In addition to this, it has glue line protection. This means even the bond lines between the veneers are reinforced to resist water penetration. This multi-level defence system ensures that water cannot find a way in, no matter how tough the conditions.
Why It Matters for Indian Homes
Indian homes face humidity, leaks, and seasonal dampness regularly. A normal monsoon can push regular plywood to its limits. Bathroom cabinets swell. Kitchen drawers jam. Furniture warps. That’s why choosing waterproof plywood is not just a good idea; rather, it’s essential. Sainik 710 is engineered to handle boiling water, so you can be sure it can deal with daily spills, steam, and splashes. It doesn’t swell. It doesn’t bend. And it doesn’t demand high maintenance.
More Than Just Water Resistance
BWP is just one part of what makes Sainik 710 special. It’s also designed to stay strong over time. With controlled moisture content between 8 and 12 percent, it stays stable across seasons. Whether it’s extreme summer heat or damp winters, the sheet doesn’t expand or contract unexpectedly. This keeps your furniture fittings aligned and your panels looking fresh.
Built to Resist Termites and Borers
Water damage attracts pests. And once they get in, termites and borers can destroy an entire unit. That’s why Sainik 710 is also treated with GLP and ACC technologies. These chemical treatments ensure the plywood stays resistant to pests, even in damp conditions. So you get double protection, against water and against wood-eating insects.
Practical Uses Around the Home
Thanks to its BWP rating, Sainik 710 is ideal for:
- Modular kitchen cabinets
- Bathroom vanities
- Storage units near wash areas
- Balcony furniture
- Laundry cabinets
It’s also used in commercial projects where long-term durability and water resistance are critical. And with multiple thicknesses available [from 4 mm to 25 mm] you can use it for everything from drawers to heavy-duty partitions.
A Waterproof Option That’s Also Affordable
BWP-grade plywood usually comes at a premium price. But Sainik 710 offers uniform pricing at ₹114 per unit (929 sq cm), including GST. That makes it one of the most cost-effective waterproof plywood options available. You don’t have to compromise on quality or stretch your budget. You get certified performance at a price that works across small and large projects.
Final Word
Boiling Waterproof is not just a claim. It’s a promise that your plywood will hold up, even when soaked in the toughest conditions. Sainik 710 plywood meets this standard with ease. It is waterproof from within, stable across climates, and strong against pests.
So if you’re planning your next project, ask yourself, can your plywood handle boiling water? If the answer is no, then it’s time to switch. Choose Sainik 710. Because when it comes to water resistance, nothing performs better.
