AK Appleply Platinum Plus+ — Marine Grade Plywood (IS 710 Certified)
AK Appleply Platinum Plus+ is a premium BWP-grade marine plywood engineered to perform in environments with constant exposure to moisture and humidity. Designed to resist rot and delamination, it’s built for demanding applications like ship interiors, docks, kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-humidity zones.
Every sheet undergoes vacuum pressure treatment with approved preservatives, ensuring long-term protection against borers and decay. The core is precisely composed using an automatic core composer machine to achieve a uniform 8’x4’ sheet. Double-pressing technology, combined with advanced top-and-bottom calibration, guarantees superior thickness uniformity and a smooth surface ideal for high-gloss or acrylic laminates.
