1. Construction-grade film faced plywood is manufactured under high temperature and high pressure, giving it high strength and excellent toughness. Its static bending strength is more than twice that of ordinary wood.
2. Film faced plywood produces fewer joint seams and offers faster support and demoulding compared with aluminum or steel formwork.
3. The surface is coated with high-quality paper through precision machining, giving it a smooth finish that is easy to demould. Because the concrete surface stays flat after demoulding, it avoids the need for secondary plastering, which reduces cost and shortens the construction period. The board is also lightweight, easy to saw and nail, and offers improved construction performance and speed.
4. Film faced plywood has strong water resistance thanks to its phenolic resin glue layer, which is bonded under hot pressing and can withstand boiling for 5 hours without the glue line opening. This means the film does not easily deform during concrete curing.
5. Its thermal conductivity is much lower than that of steel molds, making it well suited for construction in both hot summer and cold winter conditions.
6. It can be reused more times than ordinary building plywood — typically 12 to 18 times.
7. This type of formwork is suitable for most building types, including shear walls, vertical wall panels, subways, viaducts, and overpasses.
