Okoume Plywood: Features and Advantages
Okoume plywood is a lightweight and smooth wood panel made from Okoume, a tropical hardwood from Central Africa. It’s valued for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and is commonly used in furniture, interior work, and especially marine applications.
In many European markets, Okoume plywood is often known as marine plywood, thanks to its water-resistant properties when bonded with WBP or phenolic glue. With proper construction, it meets the standards required for boat building and other high-humidity environments.
Key Benefits of Okoume (Marine) Plywood:
Lightweight yet strong – Ideal for structures where weight matters, such as boats or mobile units.
Excellent water resistance – When manufactured with WBP or phenolic glue, it performs well in humid and wet conditions.
Easy to cut and shape – Great for curved panels or detailed woodwork.
Smooth, attractive surface – Perfect for painting or veneering.
Eco-friendly sourcing – Okoume is available with FSC certification for responsible forestry compliance.
Wood Core material

BS1088 MARINE GRADE BOARD
Made with waterproof bonding, marine-grade Okoume resists rot and warping. Ideal for boat hulls, decks, and coastal constructions where strength and moisture resistance are critical.
One of the key factors determining the durability of okoume plywood is the quality of its core material. For applications in shipbuilding, furniture manufacturing, and outdoor use, the core must be robust, durable, and capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to moisture and high humidity.
