Key features

• Premium Gaboon Composition: Known for its ultra-lightweight core and remarkably smooth, tight grain, this plywood is the gold standard for high-end model components, marine prototypes, and complex aeronautical forms.
• EN314-2 Class 3 Phenol Bonding: Manufactured with high-performance phenol glue, meeting rigorous Class 3 standards for exterior use. This ensures the material remains structurally sound in high-moisture environments and resists delamination.
• Exceptional Surface Quality: Features a B/BB gradingthe "B" face provides a clear, superior surface virtually free of defects, while the "BB" reverse maintains high structural integrity with minimal patches.
• Superior Power-to-Weight Ratio: Significantly lighter than birch or oak alternatives, making it the definitive choice for large-scale structures that require rigidity without the penalty of excessive mass.
• Precision Workability: The soft, uniform texture of Gaboon timber allows for effortless sanding to a feathered edge and clean, splinter-free cutting with both traditional hand tools and CNC machinery.
• Versatile Finishing: The pale, consistent tone of the wood provides an ideal substrate for high-gloss varnishes, specialised marine coatings, or fine-line architectural detailing.
• Demanding Application Ready: Ideal for structural members in RC watercraft, experimental gliders, and sophisticated architectural massing where environmental resilience and a premium finish are non-negotiable.
