Film Faced Plywood

What is film faced plywood?

Film faced plywood is an outdoor plywood used in formwork and building construction. Film faced plywood also called shuttering plywood, formwok plywood, concrete form or wooden
shuttering. It is special plywood with two sides waterproof film coating on surface made from wbp phenolic on both sides.
Film faced plywood has strong waterproof and moisture resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance and bending resistance.
Because of its excellent moisture resistance, corrosion resistance and higher acid and alkali resistance, as well as light weight, bending resistance and easy cutting, film-
faced-plywood is very suitable for use as building formwork. The special waterproof membrane on the surface of this plywood and the edge waterproof coating together form a
closed waterproof whole, making it more durable and not easy to deform when used in extreme weather and harsh environments outdoors.
Film faced plywood can be used as horizontal fomwork and beam-column formwork that require high flexural shear strength, strong water repellency to ensure the integrity of the
concrete build and the accuracy of its shape. Conventional film-faced plywood thicknesses are 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 21mm, 25mm and 28mm. The thickness of film faced plywood for
special needs can exceed 40mm.

of the plywood.

Specifications of film faced plywood

(1). Film type :

There are two types of surface film use in China Film Faced Plywood: imported films and domestic films.

Imported film refer to film produced by foreign companies, such as Dynea film. Dynea film is the most stable film currently used in the manufacture of Film Faced Plywood.

you can choose birch cladding panels.
In order to meet the needs of the market, disposable or low-rise buildings have also appeared in the market in recent years. The core board
structure is generally finger jiont core.

(5). Adhesives Types : MR glue, WBP-melamine glue, WBP-Phenolic glue

MR glue is mainly suitable for environments that are not too humid, and the manufacturing cost is relatively low.

WBP-melamine glue has a certain degree of waterproofness and is an improved MR glue, which is currently the most used glue for building templates.

WBP-Phenolic glue has excellent waterproof and environmental protection, as well as excellent stability, it is the highest grade glue used in building formwork.

ROCPLEX high-end building formwork uses phenolic glue specially customized for us by Dynea.

(6). Thickness of film faced plywood:
