Phenolic Baltic Birch Plywood (Black) - 12mm - 18mm
Phenolic Baltic Birch Plywood
Description
What is phenolic Baltic birch plywood? Also known as film-faced plywood, phenolic refers to the resin coating on both sides of the plywood. This film coating provides a wear resistant and waterproof surface that is smooth and glossy.
Film faced plywood comes in multiple colors, but this material is black on both sides. Between the film overlays is the stacked, layered look characteristic of Baltic birch plywood.
The most distinctive feature of Baltic birch is that the edges are attractive, uniform stripes of exterior grade hardwood veneer, usually alternating light and dark bands. That edge is largely free of voids.
What makes phenolic so great? It's one of the most stable, durable and hard surfaces available to work with. The phenolic overlay helps resist cracking, abrasions, and splitting. This is useful when using this plywood for furniture and cabinetry. You can attach fasteners, screws and other mounting hardware without the normal worries of splitting the surface.
Please note, the edge of a full 4'x8' sheet of material is painted. Resulting cuts to your stock size may result in some edges showing natural grain color and/or black overlay color. For use in exterior projects or areas where moisture is a concern, we recommend sealing the edges.
