Merino Marine Board

Merino Marine Board is not a traditional plywood but an advanced particle board that meets and exceeds the stringent requirements of marine-grade products. Manufactured to be an E1 emission particle board (low formaldehyde emission), it complies with European health and safety standards. The board's core is made from a combination of sustainably sourced hardwood fibers and a special phenol-formaldehyde resin, which gives it its exceptional moisture resistance. The result is a dense, warp-resistant, and stable board with a smooth surface, perfect for lamination or painting.

Key Features

• High Moisture Resistance: This board is designed to withstand extreme moisture. It is advertised to have 40% higher moisture resistance than standard green boards and can even withstand being submerged in boiling water for up to two hours without losing its strength or integrity.
• Termite and Borer Proof: The unique composition and chemical treatment of the board make it completely resistant to termite and borer attacks, ensuring a long and healthy life for your furniture and interiors.
• Superior Screw Holding Capacity: The high-density core allows for excellent screw-holding and re-screwing capabilities, which is crucial for building sturdy and durable furniture and cabinets.
• Warp-Resistant and Dimensionally Stable: The board is engineered to maintain its shape and size, making it highly resistant to warping, swelling, and cracking, which are common issues with other wood products in humid conditions.
• Health-Friendly (E1 Emission): Meeting the E1 European standard, the board has very low formaldehyde emissions, which contributes to better indoor air quality and a healthier living environment.
• Smooth Surface: The board's surface is smooth and calibrated, providing a perfect base for applying laminates, veneers, or direct painting with PU or Duco finishes.
• 12-Year Warranty: Merino stands behind the quality of its marine board with a 12-year warranty, offering peace of mind to customers.
