The Indian plywood Industry suddenly begin to love genuine PF after tightening by the Govt. to curb use of agriculture grade urea for making resins for commercial grade plywood manufacturing. Reports from different plywood manufacturing clusters show an impact of 10-12% on prices of commercial grade ply and hence cost of commercial/MR plywood has inched near BWR grade plywood.
Now market is reportedly getting lesser supply of Fake IS 710 grade as producers are not willing to offer MR material. If it persist, the prices of MR vs BWR grade ply in the present scenario is becoming near equal. This is forcing ply producers to increase the supply of its original IS 710 grade plywood or BWP grade plywood that can support 72 hour boiling test. As heard many ply producers have surrendered their IS 710 grade standard because they are dedicatedly manufacturing IS 303 grade but after the recent development, the companies have approached BIS to get IS 710 standard of BWP grade or looking for other options to offer guarantee or warranties, which qualifies the similar standard of Boiling Water Proof plywood.
