What Does Termite and Borer Proof Plywood Mean?
Termites are known to eat the wood from the inside, while borers are beetles whose larvae drill tunnels in wood. Both these pests can weaken the furniture long before you see the actual damage on the surface. Termite- and borer-proof plywood is plywood that has been treated with organophosphorus chemicals, fungicides, and preservatives in phenolic resins and glue line, so that the termites and borers cannot feed on it or damage it.
The alternative name in Hindi for this plywood is "deemak proof" plywood (Also written as "demak" or "dimak"), as the Hindi name for termite is deemak. Ordinary plywood available in the market is not treated for termites, which is important especially in homes with termite risks. Royale Touche comes with 4X Ter-bo Kill Technology against Termites and Borers and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
