Film faced plywood remains strong and geometrically sound during several successive mechanical treatments, which means it can be put through the different stages of furniture making, for instance, without warping or bowing and undergoing the common effects of mechanical stress. Added together with its other properties, including water resistance, anti-slip and flexibility, it is clear why this type of plywood suits the furniture industry.
According to the blog See See Plywood, film faced plywood is also referred to as “WBP” or water-boiled proof plywood, which can be boiled in water for up to 20 hours without delamination, meaning the loss of its melamine laminated surface.
