Core Structure – 100% Poplar Veneer for Lightweight Strength
The core of our Film Faced Plywood is made from high-quality poplar veneers, carefully selected for uniform thickness, minimal knots, and consistent grain direction. Poplar is known for its lightweight nature, flexibility, and excellent bonding performance, making it one of the most popular materials for formwork plywood production.
Each veneer layer is cross-laminated - with the grain of adjacent layers running perpendicular to one another. This structure enhances the board's dimensional stability, strength, and resistance to warping even under heavy concrete pressure and fluctuating humidity conditions.
To ensure superior bonding, all core veneers are hot-pressed with WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) phenolic resin adhesive under high temperature and pressure. This process creates a dense, solid core with strong internal adhesion, preventing delamination or separation during repeated concrete pours.
Before pressing, the veneers are dried and graded to maintain a low and uniform moisture content, ensuring better glue penetration and bonding efficiency. The result is a durable and reusable plywood panel with smooth edges, stable thickness tolerance, and excellent mechanical performance.
Key Features
Lightweight yet Strong
Manufactured with 100% poplar veneer core, the panel provides a perfect balance between strength and weight, making it easy to handle, cut, and install on site.
Smooth Phenolic Film Surface
The high-quality phenolic film on both faces creates a smooth and glossy surface, ensuring clean concrete finishes with minimal surface defects and reduced need for plastering.
Waterproof and Weather Resistant
Bonded with WBP phenolic resin adhesive and sealed edges, the plywood withstands moisture, rain, and repeated concrete pouring-ideal for outdoor and humid conditions.
Reusable and Cost-Effective
Depending on handling and formwork design, panels can typically be reused 6–15 times, offering a lower cost per pour compared to conventional formwork boards.
Customizable Options
Available with various film colors (brown, black, red) and logo printing. Edge sealing, thickness, and size can be customized to meet project or branding requirements.
Applications
Concrete formwork and shuttering systems
Walls, columns, beams, and slabs
Residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects
Suitable for curved or straight formwork installations
