WBP Phenolic Film Faced Plywood Reusable Smooth Demould Concrete Construction Formwork
Film Faced Plywood Introduction
Film Faced Plywood, also known as concrete shuttering plywood, is manufactured by hot-pressing phenolic or melamine impregnated film onto wood veneer core under high temperature. Featuring waterproof, anti-stripping and easy demoulding properties, it delivers smooth concrete surface without extra plastering after pouring. Widely applied in residential construction, bridge, infrastructure, hydraulic projects and overseas construction projects across the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, it is the mainstream concrete formwork material for global construction works.
Key Film Faced Plywood merits: water resistant to long-time soaking, high reuse cycles, easy cutting, no delamination or film peeling, excellent flatness and recyclability to cut down overall construction cost per square meter.
Film Faced Plywood Classification
