The Bertex Buffalo Board is a high-performance, FSC-certified phenolic plywood, engineered for durability and versatility. With a 2440 x 1220mm sheet size and a robust 18mm thickness, it’s designed to handle heavy-duty applications. Featuring a birch core and a dual-face construction (smooth on one side, textured mesh on the other), this board is an ideal choice for both structural and aesthetic uses. It meets EN314-2 Class 3 and EN636-2 standards, ensuring top-tier performance and longevity.
Construction & Features:
The Bertex Buffalo Board boasts a phenolic resin-impregnated film pressed onto both surfaces under high pressure and temperature. One side is smooth, offering a sleek and easy-to-clean surface, while the reverse side features a distinctive wire mesh pattern. This mesh texture enhances slip resistance, making it an excellent option for safety-critical environments.
Additionally, all panels are edge-sealed with acrylic paint to minimize moisture penetration, further increasing the board’s resistance to abrasion, moisture, chemicals, insects, and fungi. This creates a long-lasting, hygienic, and low-maintenance surface that performs well in tough conditions.
Why Choose Phenolic Ply?
Phenolic ply is a durable, high-performance material known for its ability to withstand challenging environments. The impregnated resin layer makes it highly resistant to wear and tear, moisture, and chemical exposure. It’s an ideal solution for applications where both aesthetics and functionality are essential. The smooth surface makes it easy to clean, while the textured side provides superior grip.
Premium Birch Core Construction:
While other phenolic ply options may use lower-grade softwood and hardwood veneers, the Bertex Buffalo Board stands out with its premium birch core. Sourced from Latvia, this construction offers superior strength and quality, ensuring better performance and longevity compared to alternative options, particularly those made from softer woods like eucalyptus or poplar.
Applications:
The versatility of Bertex Buffalo Board makes it a preferred choice across a wide range of industries. Common applications include:
- Van linings and trailers
- Horse boxes and industrial trolleys
- Flight cases and formwork
- Interior design, furniture making, and shop fitting
- Joinery projects
Whether you're looking for a tough, long-lasting material for heavy-duty construction or a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface for interior projects, Bertex Buffalo Board offers the perfect solution.
