Formwork plywood
Engineered for Formwork Excellence
Formwork plywood is designed to meet the rigorous demands of concrete construction environments. Its enhanced resistance to moisture and alkalis ensures durability across multiple usage cycles. The product integrates a modified phenolic film that contributes to its heat resistance and temperature insensitivity. These attributes make it suitable for high-stress applications where dimensional stability and surface integrity are critical.
