Plywood Core
Made from hardwoods or a combination core.
Provides structural strength and stability.
Bonded with Water Boil Proof (WBP) / Marine-Grade Phenolic Glue for exceptional waterproofness.
Phenolic Film Face
A specially engineered paper soaked in phenolic resin.
Applied to both sides under high heat and pressure.
Creates an extremely tough, smooth, non-porous plastic-like coating.
Why It's Different & Superior
Extreme Durability: The phenolic film resists abrasion, scratches, impacts, and chemicals far better than raw wood or painted surfaces.
Waterproof & Weatherproof: The film seals the plywood core, preventing water absorption, swelling, warping, and delamination.
Super-Smooth Surface: Creates a consistent, non-stick finish critical for high-quality concrete casting.
Easy Release: Concrete doesn't stick to the slick phenolic surface, allowing for clean demolding and a smooth concrete finish.
High Reusability: Can be used 20+ times (depending on care, thickness, and application), making it highly cost-effective over time.
Chemical Resistance: Withstands alkalis (in wet concrete) and mild acids.
What it is NOT
NOT regular plywood: Regular plywood lacks the phenolic film and WBP glue, making it unsuitable for repeated wet/dry cycles and heavy abrasion.
NOT HPL (High-Pressure Laminate): HPL uses thicker decorative melamine layers laminated after plywood production. Phenolic film is thinner, resin-impregnated paper fused during pressing.
NOT plastic sheet: It has a strong, structural wood core.
