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, reduce secondary treatment;
- Strong weather resistance, adapt to high temperature or humid environment;
- Lighter than steel formwork, convenient construction.
2. Common Uses
Building construction: concrete forming formwork for floors, walls, Bridges, etc.
Industrial field: Scenes requiring moisture-proof such as container floors and ship partitions;
Special requirements: Customizable thickness (usually 12mm-21mm) and size (e.g. 1220×2440mm).
3. Purchase Precautions
Film quality: check whether the surface is free of bubbles, scratches, uniform film thickness;
Environmental protection grade: Select low formaldehyde products that meet E0 or E1 standards;
Turnover: Quality products can be reused 20-30 times, more cost-effective.
5. Maintenance and Storage Suggestions
- Clean the residual concrete after use to avoid scratching by hard objects;
- Store flat in dry environment to prevent deformation;
- The edges should be protected during turnover to reduce breakage.
4. Comparison with Other Template Materials
| Type | Advantages and Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Laminated plywood | Easy to release mold, the surface is smooth and long-term exposure to sunlight may fall off the film layer |
| Steel formwork | Long life, strong bearing capacity and high cost |
| Ordinary plywood | The price of ordinary plywood is low and easy to absorb water and expand, and it is limited to short-term use |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the standard sizes and thicknesses of Film Faced Plywood?
The standard size is 18mm x 1220 x 2440 mm, but we also offer sizes like 610*2440mm, 1200*2400mm, 1250*2500mm, and 915*1830mm. Regular thicknesses include 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, and 21mm, which can also be customized according to your project requirements.
How many times can this construction plywood be reused?
Our Film Faced Plywood can be reused more than 30 times. The actual lifespan depends heavily on the handling, cleaning, and storage conditions after each concrete pouring cycle.
What are the main advantages of using film faced plywood over ordinary plywood?
Film faced plywood features a phenolic resin film that provides a smooth, waterproof surface, making concrete demolding easier and leaving a clean concrete finish. Unlike ordinary plywood, it is highly resistant to moisture, expansion, and weather, allowing for significantly higher reuse rates.
What core materials and glues are used in the manufacturing?
We utilize high-quality Poplar, Hardwood, Birch, or mixed cores to ensure bending strength. The panels are bonded using moisture-resistant Melamine or WBP (Water Boiled Proof) glues to prevent delamination during construction.
How should I store and maintain the plywood to maximize its cycle life?
After each use, clean off any residual concrete carefully to avoid scratching the surface. Store the panels flat in a dry, well-ventilated environment to prevent warping, and handle the edges with care to minimize damage during transit.
