Product Description
1. Basic Features
- Surface treatment: Double or single side covered with phenolic resin film (brown/black), smooth waterproof, can be reused many times.
- Core material: Usually birch, poplar or mixed hardwood, laminated structure to enhance bending strength.
- Main advantages: Smooth surface after concrete pouring, reducing secondary treatment; strong weather resistance to adapt to high temperature or humid environments; lighter than steel formwork for convenient construction.
2. Common Uses
- Building construction: Concrete forming formwork for floors, walls, bridges, etc.
- Industrial field: Scenes requiring moisture-proof properties such as container floors and ship partitions.
- Special requirements: Customizable thickness (usually 12mm-21mm) and dimensions (e.g. 1220×2440mm).
3. Purchase Precautions
- Film quality: Check whether the surface is free of bubbles, scratches, and features a uniform film thickness.
- Environmental grade: Select low formaldehyde products that meet E0 or E1 standards.
- Turnover: Quality products can be reused 20-30 times, making them highly cost-effective.
4. Maintenance and Storage
- Clean the residual concrete after use to avoid scratching by hard objects.
- Store flat in a dry environment to prevent warping and deformation.
- The edges should be protected during turnover to reduce breakage.
5. Comparison with Other Template Materials
| Type | Advantages & Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Laminated Plywood | Easy to release mold, smooth surface; however, long-term exposure to sunlight may cause the film layer to fall off. |
| Steel Formwork | Long service life and strong bearing capacity, but comes with a high initial cost. |
| Ordinary Plywood | Low price, but easily absorbs water and expands, making it limited to short-term use. |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the standard sizes and thicknesses of Film Faced Plywood?
The standard thickness is 18mm, though it is regularly produced in 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 21mm. Common dimensions include 1220x2440mm, 610x2440mm, 1200x2400mm, 1250x2500mm, and 915x1830mm. Custom sizes can also be manufactured.
How many times can this construction plywood be reused?
Our Film Faced Plywood features a cycle life of more than 30 repeating uses. The actual lifespan depends heavily on proper handling, cleaning concrete residues after each use, and storing the panels in a dry environment.
What core materials and glues are used in the manufacturing process?
The core is made from high-quality Poplar, Hardwood, Birch, or a mixed core combination. The bonding utilizes WBP (Water Boiled Proof) or Melamine glue to ensure excellent structural integrity and moisture resistance.
What surface finishes and colors are available?
We offer surface treatments in Smooth, Antislip, and Wiremeshed finishes. The protective phenolic resin film is available in Dynea Brown, China Brown, Black, and Red.
How should Film Faced Plywood be maintained and stored?
Always clean off residual concrete immediately after mold release to prevent surface scratches. Store the sheets flat in a dry, ventilated environment to prevent warping, and protect the edges during transport and handling to reduce breakage.
