Quick Answers

What is the difference between HDO and MDO plywood?

HDO uses a denser phenolic paper overlay. Buyers often search MatteFace Plywood (MTF) as MDO formwork plywood. The product name is MatteFace. MDO is the search token. APA kraft-paper MDO is paint and signage; the formwork panel is MatteFace. Pick by finish and reuse target, not by which acronym sounds denser.

Is HDO or MDO better for concrete forms?

For high-rotation or exposed finish pours, start with HDO or a Class 3 film-faced rung. For a matte strip, buyers often search MatteFace as MDO formwork plywood. Write overlay, glue class, and reuse as up to N on the RFQ. Do not treat kraft-paper MDO and MatteFace as the same sheet.

How many times can HDO plywood be reused?

Write reuse as up to N. Vinawood HDO Basic is up to 10. HDO Premium is up to 20. Site handling, sealed edges, and release agent decide whether those envelopes hold. Do not add a plus after the number.

Can you paint MDO plywood?

APA kraft-paper MDO is often used as a paint base for signs and panels. MatteFace is a matte phenolic forming film for formwork only. If the job is a pour, specify MatteFace or HDO by finish. If the job is paint and signage, kraft-paper MDO is the usual search path.

Is MatteFace the same as MDO formwork plywood?

Keep the search token. The formwork product name is MatteFace. Kraft-paper MDO is a different APA overlay class. See the MatteFace plywood range and the MDO plywood guide for the naming split.

Does a denser overlay mean phenolic Class 3?

No. Overlay density and face system are separate from core glue class. HDO and MatteFace sit on the overlay side. Phenolic Class 3 on Vinawood film-faced and HDO grades is PF core glue. Form Extra is Superior Glue MUF, not Class 3.
