Beyond Marine Plywood – What ISI 710 Certified BWP Means in 2025 – and Why It’s Safer
In the world of interior materials, marine plywood has long been the gold standard for moisture resistance. But in 2025, the industry is moving beyond the term “marine ply” – and shifting toward a more precise, safety-driven benchmark: ISI 710 Certified BWP (Boiling Water Proof) Plywood.
This isn't just a semantic upgrade. Whether you’re working on a luxury kitchen in Sarjapur or a modular bathroom setup in Whitefield, understanding what ISI 710 certification truly means can make all the difference in performance, client satisfaction, and long-term durability.
Let’s break down what makes BWP plywood with ISI 710 so important – and why top designers and contractors are asking for it by name.
What is BWP (Boiling Water Proof) Plywood?
BWP stands for Boiling Water Proof – a grade of plywood made using phenol-formaldehyde resin that can withstand 72 hours in boiling water without delaminating.
This makes it ideal for:
-
Modular kitchens
-
Bathroom vanities
-
Utility areas
-
Outdoor furniture
-
High-humidity zones
But not all BWP plywood is created equal. That’s where ISI 710 comes in.
Why ISI 710 Certification Matters
The ISI 710 mark is the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification that guarantees the plywood has passed rigorous tests for:
✅ 100% water resistance
✅ Bonding strength even after boiling
✅ Termite and borer resistance
✅ Core and face veneer quality
✅ Preservative treatment
Without ISI 710, “marine ply” is just a label. With it, you’re assured of consistent performance, even under the toughest site conditions.
🟧 At Khidki, every BWP sheet is ISI 710 certified – including our flagship Khidki Gold Plus BWP ISI 710 Plywood.
The Problem with Generic “Marine Ply”
Many suppliers in Bangalore’s local markets sell "marine ply" without any third-party testing. This leads to:
-
Inconsistent water resistance
-
Delamination after a few months
-
Warping in modular kitchens
-
Frequent callbacks and site issues
In 2025, informed designers and contractors are asking for “ISI 710 certified BWP” – not just “marine plywood.”
Where It’s Used Most (Bangalore Projects)
High-end projects in neighborhoods like HSR Layout, JP Nagar, Yelahanka, and Electronic City are switching to ISI 710 certified plywood, especially for:
-
Luxury kitchen carcasses
-
Modular bathrooms in apartments
-
Utility zones exposed to water seepage
-
Vanity units for builder flats
-
Retail counters and café furniture
