Quick Answers

What makes extra durability formwork plywood different from standard panels?
Extra durability formwork plywood uses heavier phenolic film overlays (typically 220 g/m² or higher), denser hardwood cores, and Class 3 phenolic adhesives. These materials provide superior abrasion resistance, moisture protection, and structural integrity that allow the panels to survive significantly more pour cycles than standard formwork plywood.
When should I choose extra durability over standard formwork plywood?
Choose extra durability panels for projects requiring more than 15 reuse cycles, large-scale commercial or infrastructure builds, or sites with harsh conditions such as heavy rain exposure or aggressive stripping schedules. The higher upfront cost is offset by the lower cost per pour over the panel's extended lifespan.
What concrete finish quality do extra durability panels provide?
Extra durability formwork panels with HDO or heavy phenolic film overlays produce consistently smooth concrete surfaces suitable for fair-face and architectural concrete work. The dense overlay resists surface damage that would transfer imperfections to the concrete, maintaining finish quality across many reuse cycles.
How should I store extra durability formwork plywood on site?
Store panels flat on level supports, protected from direct sunlight and rain with a waterproof cover that allows air circulation. Apply release agent before each pour and clean panels promptly after stripping. Avoid dragging panels across rough surfaces or dropping them, as edge damage shortens their usable life.
