Phenolic Plywood is known as Film Faced Plywood, Phenolic Faced Plywood, or Phenolic Covered Plywood. Phenolic plywood is manufactured using a unique process that involves bonding phenolic resin impregnated cellulose fibers with layers of wood veneers. This unique composition gives phenolic plywood its exceptional strength and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Core Type Photo Repeat Use Description
Poplar Core 6-10 times Poplar is the most found material for plywood made in China. It provides great quality and good price. Poplar plywood balance the price and quality at a great level.
Eucalyptus Core 10-20 times This is the best quality formwork plywood with a density of 600 kgs per cubic meter. It is hard and durable.
Finger Joint Core 2 times Finger joint core plywood is the cheapest plywood for formwork use. Its low price relies on the cheap core that is recycled from used film faced plywood. It is only recommended for small projects with good protections for workers. Should not be used for more than four times.

Phenolic Film

The phenol film is bonded to the plywood with a waterproof phenol resin adhesive. Overlays come in multiple colors, such as this light brown, dark brown, black. The surface of the phenolic plywood is smooth and glossy. The phenol film density is 110g/m2 on both sides

What makes phenolic so great? It's one of the most stable, durable and hard surfaces available to work with. The phenolic overlay helps resist cracking, abrasions, and splitting.

Process

The manufacturing process of phenolic plywood involves several steps. Firstly, the wood veneers are coated with the phenolic resin, which is then pressed and heated under high pressure, resulting in a bonded structure. This process ensures that the resin fully impregnates the wood fibers, creating a material with superior strength and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and rot. The number of layers and thickness of the wood veneers used in the manufacturing process can vary, depending on the desired strength and application of the phenolic plywood.
