Film Faced Plywood Panel Standard Size 4x8 Feet 18mm for Construction
Product Overview
Film Faced Plywood is the industry-standard shuttering panel for high-quality concrete construction. Featuring a hardwood core bonded with waterproof phenolic glue and overlaid with a durable phenolic film, it is engineered for repetitive use in demanding applications like high-rise buildings, bridges, and tunnels. It delivers a smooth concrete finish and outperforms traditional plywood in harsh weather conditions.
Features & Benefits
- High Reusability & Durability: The phenolic film and WBP glue provide exceptional resistance to moisture, abrasion, and chemicals, allowing for 15-30+ reuse cycles depending on core material
- Superior Concrete Finish: The ultra-smooth film surface ensures easy demolding and produces a uniform, high-quality concrete surface, minimizing the need for remedial plastering work
- Structural Strength & Stability: High modulus of rupture and elasticity provide reliable support for heavy wet concrete loads without bending or warping, ensuring dimensional accuracy
- Waterproof & Weather Resistant: Sealed edges and waterproof construction prevent delamination and swelling, making it suitable for outdoor storage and use in humid environments
