Exterior plywood coated with phenolic film, both sides smooth

Exterior plywood coated with phenolic film (so-called shuttering plywood) has wide application properties, e.g. in construction as an element of shuttering systems. It is made by pressing paper saturated with phenolic resin (called phenolic film) on a surface of exterior plywood. The surface coated with the film protects the sheets from moisture and improves their resistance to abrasion. Edges of shuttering plywood are protected with waterproof acrylic paint.

Plywood is composed from thin layers of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another. Exterior plywood is covered on one or both sides with phenolic film which protects the surface from moisture as well as ensures higher durability, weather and abrasion resistance.
