Pdian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR MARINE PLYWOOD

( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 8 June 1976, after the draft finalized by the Wood
Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
0.2 The plywood used in the construction, repair and maintenance of
marine and river craft is required to withstand rigorous conditions involv-
ing changes in temperature, humidity and alternate wetting and drying. In
addition, they also need to withstand attack by marine organisms. As
such, the commercial plywood used for general purposes was found to be
unsuitable and the Wood Products Sectional Committee, at the instance of
the Ministry of Defence, has prepared this specification for marine
plywood.
0.3 The method of manufacture of marine plywood, especially the adhesives
used in the manufacture, have been specifically stated so that the resulting
plywood is capable of withstanding the rigorous conditions which marine
plywood may have to withstand.
0.4 This standard was first published in 1957. The present revision is based
on the experience gained in the manufacture and use of the marine plywood
overrthese years. In this revision, details of methods of tests have been
omitted and cross -references given to the relevant methods of tests in
IS: 1734 ( Parts I to XX )-1972*.
0.5 This standard contains clause4.2.3.4 which calls for agreement between
the purchaser and the manufacturer.
0.6 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in’ different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
0.7 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
‘IS : 2-19607. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

3.1.1 No alternative species of timber shall be used without the prior

approval of the purchaser.
3.1.2 In selecting the species for the manufacture of plywood, it is
recommended that as far as possible a single species of timber shall be used
and where combinations of different species are used, care shall be taken to
prevent incompatibility of the two species:
3.2 Adhesive - The adhesive used for bonding the veneers shall be of the
hot-press synthetic resin, phenol formaldehyde ,type ( BWP ) and shall
conform to IS : 848-1974*. Extender shall not be added to the adhesive by
the plywood manufacturer. Fillers, if used, shall not exceed 10 percent by
mass of solid content, of the glue.

4. MANUFACTURE
4.1 Veneers - The veneers shall be either rotary cut or sliced. The veneers
shall be reasonably smooth to permit an even spread of glue. The veneers
shall be conditioned to a moisture content not exceeding 10 percent before
bonding.
4.1.1 Defects in Veneers - The veneers to be used for the faces shall be
free from sapwood. Core veneers may contain sound knots whose
maximum dimensions in any one direction do not exceed 5 cm, open
defects ( split and check ), provided such defects do not impair the smooth
finish of the surface required for paintink or staining. Dead knots shall
not be permissible. Overlaps or pleats shall not be allowed.

,4.2 Assembly

4.2.1 Glueing - The glue shall be evenly spread and the veneers shall be
securely cemented together without overlap. No unglued areas or starved
joints shall be found on separation of veneers.
4.2.2 Thickness of Veneers-The thickness of veneers shall be uniform
,within a tolerance of &5 percent, Corresponding veneers on either side of
the central plane of the board shall be of the same thickness and species,
and shall be cut by the same method, that is, either all rotary cut or all
sliced.
4.2.2.1 In the case of 3-ply boards, the thickness of the centre veneer
( core ) shall be at least equal to that of one of the face veneers, but shall
not exceed the combined thickness of the two face veneers. In the case of
multi-ply boards the thickness of any veneers shall not exceed twice the
thickness of any other veneer in the same board.
*Specificationfor synthetic resin adhesive for plywood ( phenolic and aminoplastics)
( first revision ).

4.2.3 Joint in Veneers

4.2.3.1 Veneers, which require to be jointed to form a ply, shall be

spliced before assembly. All joints shall be cut square.
Tapes, other than fusible tapes, shall not be used internally and when
used for making edge joints or repairing splits in face veneers they shall be
removed subsequently.

Fusible tapes shall be such that they are converted in the process of
manufacture, to an adhesive that complies with the test requirements
applicable to the adhesive used for the manufacture of the plywood.

4.2.3.2 Edge joints - Edge joints in veneers shall be made on a tape-

less splicer or by fusible tape and staggered not less than 2.5 cm as between
any veneer and the next one with the same grain direction on both the faces.

4.2.3.3 End joints - End joints shall be permitted in all veneers form-
ing the core ply and in the veneers of face plies of panels provided the
length of such panels is over 2 m. All such joints shall be accurately
scarfed with an inclination not steeper than 1 in 10 and bonded with an
adhesive complying with the requirements specified under 3.2.
4.2.3.4 Scarf joints - When sizes larger than available press size are
required, boards to the required size shall be made with proper scarf joints
through the thickness of the board, with the prior approval of the
purchaser. The number and location of scarf joints shall be as agreed to
between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
All scarf joints shall be bonded with the same adhesive used for the
manufacture of the plywood and shall be made with an inclination not
steeper than 1 in 10. The species of timber in corresponding plies of
adjacent board scarfed together shall be the same.
4.2.4 Grain Direction - Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser and
except in boards comprising an even number of plies, the direction ofgrain
of the veneer in adjacent plies shall be at right angles to each other and
that of the outer plies shall run parallel to the length of the sheet. In
boards comprising an even number of plies the grain of the centre pair shall
follow the same direction. In adjacent plies in which the grains are required
to be at right angles to each other, a deviation not exceeding 10” may be
permitted. In all cases the grain on both faces of the assembled boards
shall run in the same direction.

The grain of the veneer shall normally be parallel to the edges of

rectangular boards, but other grain direction, for example diagonal, may be
agreed to between the purchaser and the supplier.

IS : 710 - 1976

43.1 Preliminary Treatment - Immediately the boards are taken out of

Ihe press and whilist still hot they shall be immersed at room temperature
in a 2 percent solution of either sodium pentachlorophenate or boric acid
and borax or a combination of sodium pentachlorophenate and borax in
water, for a period of 5 minutes and allowed to dry.
NOTE 1 - The above preservative treatment is for according adequate protection
to marine plywood in storage. This treatment, however, may not accord adequate
protection to marine plywood under actual service conditions.

NOTE 2 - Sodium pentachlorophenate is likely to precipitatr- on a~:;ditIcation. It

should, therefore, be periodically checked and brought to proper conccatration.

4.3.2 Permanent Treatment - When the plywood is used under marine

conditions like pontoons and river crafts the treatment given in 4.3.21 shall
be given.
4.3.2.1 The board shall be given treatment by pressure impregnation
with fixed type either water soluble or oil-based preservatives and having
retention of a minimum of 12 kg/m3 in case of copper-chrome-arsenic
composition or acid copper chrome composition or 100 kg/m3 in case of
creosote or creosote-fuel oil composition as specified in Appendix A of
IS: 5539-1969*, with adequate penetration.

NOTR- When marine plywood is given treatment as mentioned under 4.3.2, treat-
ment given under 4.3.1 shall not be necessary.

4.4 Moisture Content - Finished plywood boards shall have a moisture

content of not less than 5 percent and not more than 15 percent at any
time of the year depending on the part of the country where the test is
carried out ( see IS : 287-1973t ).

5. DIMENSIONS
5.1 The dimensions of &ywood boards shall be quoted in the following
order: the first dimension shall represent the length, that is, the dimension
parallel to the grain of the face veneers; the second, the width; and the
third, the thickness.

5.2 The thickness of any board shall not exceed the number of plies
multiplied by 2.5 mm. The two-face veneers in the finished board shall be
of the same nominal thickness.
