Film Faced Plywood - Phenolic Plywood

Film faced plywood is a plywood panel with a phenolic resin film overlay pressed onto both faces, so concrete crews can pour against it, strip it clean and use it again. The same panel turns up in searches and tenders as film faced plywood, phenolic film faced plywood, shuttering plywood or formwork plywood. Our data sheets put the two reference grades side by side. Form Basic has an Acacia and Eucalyptus core, 165 gsm phenolic face film on both sides and WBP melamine (MUF) glue rated EU Class 2 (EN 636-2); Pro Form pairs the same Acacia and Eucalyptus core with 125 gsm top-grade phenolic film and WBP phenolic glue rated EU Class 3 (EN 636-3). Both run in 2440×1220 and 2500×1250 mm sheets at 12, 15, 18 and 21 mm. Download the data sheet from the Form Basic or Pro Form page, or send thickness, sheet size, quantity and destination port through /contact for a quote. Film faced plywood supplier for US importers A US importer is usually filling a formwork program rather than buying one bundle, so the sheet module comes first. Form Basic and Pro Form both ship in 2440×1220 mm, close to the 4×8 ft North American sheet, and in 2500×1250 mm for European frame systems, at 12, 15, 18 and 21 mm. The face film is the real choice. Form Basic carries 165 gsm phenolic film over MUF glue at EN 636-2, while Pro Form uses 125 gsm top-grade phenolic film over phenolic WBP glue at EN 636-3 for programs that need more pours from each sheet. Send grade, thickness, sheet size, quantity and destination port through /contact and our sales team will reply with a quote.

Quick Answers

What is film faced plywood?
Film faced plywood is a plywood panel with a phenolic resin film pressed onto both faces, used as a reusable mold for poured concrete. The film keeps wet concrete off the wood veneer, so the sheet strips clean and leaves a smooth cast face. Buyers and tenders also call it phenolic film faced plywood, shuttering plywood or formwork plywood.
How are Vinawood film faced plywood grades built?
Both reference grades start with an Acacia and Eucalyptus hardwood core. Form Basic carries 165 gsm phenolic film on both faces with WBP melamine (MUF) glue rated EU Class 2 under EN 636-2, while Pro Form carries 125 gsm top-grade phenolic film with WBP phenolic glue rated EU Class 3 under EN 636-3. Face film and glue line are separate choices, so a good RFQ names both.
Which film faced grades are Class 3 and which are Class 2?
Pro Form, Pro Form Lite, HDO Standard and HDO Premium use phenolic glue rated EN 636-3 Class 3, which suits long programmes with repeated wet pours. Eco Form, Eco Form Plus, Form Basic and Form Extra use MUF glue rated EN 636-2, and HDO Basic is Class 2. Film colour does not tell you the bond class, so ask for it in writing on the quote.
Is film faced plywood water-resistant?
Yes, film faced plywood is water-resistant, although it is not meant for permanent submersion. The phenolic film sheds wet concrete and site rain, and a WBP (weather and boil proof) glue line holds the veneers together through wet cycles. Cut edges and tie holes still take on water, so crews should seal them after every site cut.
How many times can film faced plywood be reused?
Reuse depends on grade and site care, so the mill states it as a maximum rather than a promise. Form Basic is rated for up to 10 pours and Pro Form for up to 20. Release agent, sealed edges and flat, covered stacking decide how close a crew gets to that figure.
What sizes are available and how do I get a quote?
Form Basic and Pro Form both run in 2440×1220 and 2500×1250 mm sheets at 12, 15, 18 and 21 mm. Vinawood has made plywood since 1992 and ships manufacturer-direct to importers, distributors and formwork contractors in 55+ countries. The mill does not publish list prices, so send grade, thickness, sheet size, quantity and destination port through the contact form for a quote.
