What is HDO Basic 2S formply?
HDO Basic 2S is Vinawood’s entry high-density overlay formwork panel with the overlay on both faces. It sits on a plantation-grown hardwood core with a water-resistant WBP bond line and is built for commercial pour programmes that need a glossy strip without stepping up to HDO Premium. Spec thickness, face build, and container volume on the RFQ — we do not publish list prices.
What does HDO mean on formwork plywood?
HDO means high density overlay: a resin-impregnated fibre face hot-pressed onto the panel so concrete releases cleanly and the face resists abrasion. It is part of the pressed build, not a brush-on coating. Soft search bridge only: buyers comparing matte finishes often land on MatteFace (searched as MDO); choose HDO when the drawing wants a glossy fair-face.
How many times can HDO Basic 2S be reused?
Vinawood rates HDO Basic at up to 10 reuse cycles under good site care — thin release agent every pour, sealed cut edges, and flat covered storage. HDO Premium and Premium HD rate up to 20. Never write 25, 30, or 50+ against Basic. Exact life still depends on stripping practice and storage between pours.
What is the difference between HDO Basic 2S and HDO Premium 2S?
Both are two-side HDO overlays on a hardwood core. Basic is the entry glossy grade for general commercial formwork (reuse up to 10). Premium carries a denser overlay for a smoother architectural face and longer abrasion life (reuse up to 20). Pick by the finish the architect named and the pour count on the programme.
How do I get the product sheet or technical data sheet for HDO Basic 2S?
