Plywood is made from thin sheets of wood veneers glued together using synthetic resin binders. They are known for their superior strength and dimensional stability. NS carries a wide range of plywood for numerous applications. Each board type has specific characteristics suited to its intended usage.
NS Plywood
MR ● WBP ● Marine Grade Plywood
NS carries a wide range of plywood that is sourced from all over the world and come in various grades. Our boards are available un-sanded or sanded, on one or both sides. Customers can also choose between MR and WBP for interior and exterior applications, respectively. Marine grade plywood is needed for more demanding purposes.
NS GREEN represents plywood certified by the Singapore Green Label Scheme that complies with the European formaldehyde emission standards. NS Green is recommended for use in environmentally sensitive interior applications, where formaldehyde emissions need to be kept to the minimum.

NS Bending
This amazingly flexible board will bend to almost any curved contour. Its ability to flex in long-grain or cross-grain directions makes it a versatile panel for complex designs.
NS Bending Plywood can achieve:
Tricoply
Anti-termite ● Water resistant ● Fire Retardant
Tricoply utilizes a new plywood processing technique that imbue panels with additional properties, namely, fire-retardant, termite-resistance and waterproof characteristics. The result is a high performance plywood which can be used in the manufacturing of products for external use and opening up new markets for manufacturers.
Tricoply is treated starting at its components. The additional treatment is integrated into every step of the plywood processing technique to ensure that the additives penetrate the entire panel. This method ensures that the panel is fully functional from inside out.
Typical fire retardant and anti-termite treatments are performed only after the panel production has been completed, resulting in superficial treatments with shorter lifespans. Moreover, treatments done after the plywood have been produced often compromise the structural integrity of the panel.

Tricoply uses a specially formulated chemical designed specifically to protect against termite attack. The additive is a water-borne timber preservative that does not interfere with the glue adhesion or cause other chemical and structural changes within the panel. There are no compromises on panel integrity.
Fire retardant additives help prevent flame spread, creating a safer environment. During the manufacturing process, the flame retardant additive is added at the very beginning of the procedure, which delivers superior performance versus topical flame retardant applications. Tricoply is tested by TÜV SÜD PSB Singapore and achieves a Class 1 rating.
Specially formulated moisture resistant adhesive holds all components of the panel together and gives the plywood additional water resistant properties. The glue complies with the strict requirements of the E1 emissions standards for wood-based panels.
