Key Features of Film-Faced Plywood

Waterproof and Weather Resistant: The phenolic resin film coating prevents water absorption, providing excellent resistance to moisture, humidity, rain, and extreme weather conditions. This makes it perfect for use in both indoor and outdoor applications where plywood would typically be exposed to moisture.

High Load-Bearing Strength: Manufactured with a hardwood core and WBP glue, the plywood offers excellent load-bearing strength. This makes it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as formwork, scaffolding, and other construction requirements where stability and strength are critical.

Reusable and Cost-Efficient: Designed for multiple uses, Film-Faced Plywood can be reused up to 15-25 times in concrete formwork. This reduces overall construction costs and supports environmentally sustainable practices by reducing the need for fresh plywood and minimizing waste.

Smooth and Flawless Concrete Finish: Thanks to its smooth phenolic film surface, Film-Faced Plywood helps achieve a flawless concrete finish. The non-stick nature of the plywood prevents the concrete from adhering to the surface, ensuring a clean casting with minimal finishing work required.

Resistant to Chemicals and Corrosion: Film-Faced Plywood offers excellent protection against chemical reactions, acids, and corrosion, making it ideal for use in marine environments, industrial settings, and any project that may be exposed to aggressive elements or harsh chemicals.

Applications of Film-Faced Plywood

Film-Faced Plywood is widely used in the construction industry for formwork applications. It is perfect for pouring concrete in structures such as:

• Bridges and Highways: Used to form the molds for bridge structures, highways, and other large infrastructure projects.
• High-Rise Buildings: Essential for creating the forms for concrete floors, walls, and ceilings in skyscrapers and multi-story buildings.
• Tunnels and Dams: Provides durable, moisture-resistant formwork for large-scale water projects.
• Industrial Projects: Ideal for use in constructing walls, floors, and ceilings in warehouses and factories.

Its combination of durability, reusability, and ability to create smooth finishes makes it the preferred material for these challenging construction projects. Additionally, it is used in marine applications for creating durable wooden structures in water-based environments, such as boat building and docks.

Advantages of Using Film-Faced Plywood

• Long-lasting Performance: The combination of the plywood core and the waterproof film ensures long-lasting performance even in extreme conditions, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications.
• High Quality at Competitive Prices: Offers cost-efficiency without compromising on strength or quality, ensuring value for money in the long run.
• Easy Handling: Lightweight yet strong, making it easy to handle and transport during the construction process.
