2023 Summer's Hottest Plywood Products
Three Vinawood formwork favorites — MatteFace Panel 1SF (searched as MDO formwork plywood), Pro Form, and Form Basic — with what each panel is built for and how to source them factory-direct from Vietnam.
When the construction season heats up, demand climbs for reliable, cost-effective formwork panels. Three Vinawood products consistently lead the way: MatteFace Panel 1SF, Pro Form, and Form Basic. Here is what each is built for.
MatteFace Panel 1SF (MTF3000) is a matte phenolic surface film forming panel — the type of panel the trade often searches for as “MDO formwork plywood.” The 1SF configuration adds a film backer for stability across repeated pours, leaving a matte cast concrete face at up to 15 reuse cycles. It is rigorously tested in our labs and on construction sites worldwide.
Pro Form is built for construction professionals who need a glossy concrete face and outstanding strength. Bonded with phenolic resin on a hardwood core, it suits heavy-duty, high-rotation forming and is available from 4×8 sheets up to larger formats.
Product lineup
Form Basic rounds out the three — a robust, budget-friendly glossy film-faced panel that holds structural integrity through construction work, available in sizes including 5×9 and 5×10 sheets for larger project scopes.
Vinawood ships these panels through a wide network of dealers and distributors, factory-direct from Vietnam with full compliance documentation. Whether you need a single 4×8 sheet or full-container quantities, the three cover the core of a matte-and-glossy formwork program.
