Aarish MR Grade

Engineered for Dimensional Stability

Aarish MR Grade Plywood is manufactured using a multi-layer core construction process where high-density hardwood veneers are bonded with Melamine Urea Formaldehyde (MUF) resin under controlled temperature and pressure. This ensures excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, and consistent bonding strength across every panel. Each sheet is pressed using hydraulic multi-opening presses calibrated to maintain thickness tolerance within ±0.2mm. The plywood is further subjected to moisture equilibrium testing and core gap analysis to meet IS:303 quality parameters. Designed for use in furniture, cabinetry, and interior applications, Aarish MR Ply offers exceptional screw-holding capacity, smooth finishing, and uniform density distribution, ensuring flawless machinability during cutting and routing operations.

Technical Specifications:
  • Adhesive: MUF Resin (Moisture Resistant Grade)
  • Density: 700–750 kg/m³ (Average)
  • Core Type: Hardwood Veneer, Phenol-treated layers
  • Thickness Available: 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm, 19mm
  • Sheet Sizes: 8×4 ft (standard), 7×4 ft, 6×4 ft, 6×3 ft
  • Formaldehyde Emission: E1 Compliant

Designed for Precision and Longevity

Every Aarish MR Grade panel undergoes core gap inspection, edge bonding verification, and adhesion strength tests to ensure longevity in indoor environments. The calibrated surface reduces sanding requirements and ensures even veneer adhesion for lamination and painting. It is ideally suited for non-wet applications like wardrobes, cabinets, wall panels, and modular furniture, where consistent performance and aesthetics are crucial. The plywood maintains its structural integrity under variable humidity conditions, offering a lifespan that surpasses conventional MR-grade competitors in the same segment.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI):
  • Water Absorption: 5% (by weight) after 24 hours
  • Tensile Strength: 35–45 N/mm²
  • Modulus of Elasticity (MOE): 7000–9000 N/mm²
  • Number of Plies: 9–13 (based on thickness)
  • Bonding Strength (Glue Shear): ≥ 1350 N

Frequently Asked Question

  • What makes Aarish MR Grade plywood moisture resistant?
    Aarish MR Ply uses Melamine Urea Formaldehyde (MUF) adhesive, which creates a thermosetting resin bond resistant to humidity and minor moisture exposure. It is tested under IS:303 standards for water absorption and bonding strength.
  • What quality checks are conducted on each sheet?
    Each batch undergoes core gap testing, bonding strength verification, moisture content analysis, and surface smoothness calibration using precision measuring tools to maintain manufacturing uniformity.
  • How is MR Grade different from BWR Grade plywood?
    MR Ply is moisture-resistant and suitable for indoor use, while BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) plywood is bonded with Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) resin, offering better waterproofing and outdoor endurance.
  • Can Aarish MR Ply be used under laminates and veneers?
    Yes. Its calibrated surface and smooth finish provide excellent adhesion for laminates, veneers, and paints, minimizing air gaps and surface irregularities.
