Keto Ply manufactures IS 303 MR grade moisture resistant plywood at Yamunanagar and supplies it across Baran to district office and school furniture contracts, mandi trade counters and the Anta and Chhabra belt, in 6 mm to 19 mm boards.
IS 303 | MR Grade | 6 mm to 19 mm
Baran gets a heavier monsoon than most of Rajasthan, and the Hadoti region holds that damp longer than the desert districts to the west. Grain and mandi premises carry their own moisture load, and school and hostel furniture sits through every season with nobody maintaining it. Between the wet spells the air turns dry enough to shrink a badly seasoned board until its joints open. MR bonding and proper seasoning survive that cycle. Keto Ply supplies MR grade across the Keto Elite, Keto Supreme and Keto Signature ranges, all pressed from full panel hardwood veneers and treated against termite, borer and fungal attack. Where the panel will meet standing water rather than damp air, we supply Keto Marine BWP grade to IS 710 instead, and we will say so before you order.
Water resistance, mycological and moisture content checks are run on production batches against IS 303 before the consignment is dispatched.
Full panel veneers with no gaps or overlaps, so there is no void inside the board for moisture to collect and work the glue line apart.
Direct dispatch to Baran, Anta, Chhabra, Atru and Mangrol workshops and sites, scheduled against the site programme.
Every Keto Ply panel carries the brand's borer, fungus and anti-termite guarantee in writing.
Six things Baran contractors, PWD engineers and carpentry firms check before they trust a board to a humid location.
Request a Sample BoardIS 303 puts MR grade through two cycles of three hours in 60 degree water and eight hours of drying before the glue line is tested. That is the condition a wardrobe back on a Mumbai external wall actually lives in, not a single soak.
No patch joints, overlaps or hollow pockets, so there is no void inside the board where moisture can sit and work its way along the glue line.
Kiln plus air seasoning brings moisture content into the 5 to 15 percent band IS 303 requires, and calibrated sanding holds thickness, so shutters do not swell out of line after fitting.
Monsoon weeks, mandi storage damp and unventilated hostel rooms all start fungal attack in an untreated board. The treatment cycle carries the Keto Ply anti-termite and anti-fungus guarantee.
MR grade is built for damp air, not standing water. For sink bases, bathroom vanities and anywhere the panel gets genuinely wet, we supply Keto Marine BWP grade to IS 710 and tell you so before the order goes out.
Supplied from the Yamunanagar unit with dealer, workshop and project pricing for Baran, plus dealership openings across the Kota and Jhalawar belt.
Acceptance values laid down in IS 303 (Plywood for General Purposes - Specification), tested as per IS 1734.

|---|---|---|---|
| Water Resistance (MR) | IS 1734 (Part 5) | Two cycles of 3 hours in 60°C water and 8 hours drying at 65°C | The bond survives repeated wetting and drying, not just one soak. |
| Mycological Test | IS 1734 (Part 7) | Pass for adhesion of plies | The glue line resists fungal attack in a humid interior. |
| Moisture Content | IS 1734 (Part 1) | Not less than 5% and not more than 15% | A seasoned board that will not swell and push shutters out of line. |
| Bending Strength (MR) | IS 1734 | MOR 30 N/mm² along and 15 across; MOE 4000 and 2000 N/mm² | Shelves and shutters carry load without sagging over time. |
| Step Up: BWP Marine | IS 710 | Boiling water proof bonding, unextended phenol formaldehyde | For sink bases, vanities and standing water, specify Keto Marine instead. |
