Quick Answers

What should a GCC formwork plywood RFQ ask the mill?

Ask for EN 636 class (2 or 3), PF versus core MUF adhesive, film gsm, thickness (18 mm or 21 mm), format (1220×2440 mm or 1250×2500 mm), reuse as "up to N," edge seal, and how the yard will store the pack. A mill test report should match the thickness on the PO.

Is Form Extra phenolic Class 3?

No. Form Extra uses Superior Glue MUF and sits on EN 636-2. Same phenolic face as Form Basic; the extra reuse comes from glue chemistry, not a heavier film. Phenolic Class 3 on the film-faced ladder is Pro Form Lite and Pro Form.

Mill, trader, or local stockist: who should answer the spec?

The mill presses the core and film and issues the mill test. A trader resells FOB or CIF stock. A local stockist holds 1220×2440 mm sheets for call-off. Spec the mill when you need a Declaration of Performance tied to one factory.

Does WBP mean the panel is waterproof?

WBP is a water-resistant glue line tested under EN 314, not a waterproof panel. The wood still takes on moisture. Write the EN 636 class and PF versus core MUF on the RFQ instead of the letters WBP alone.

What size and overlay should a GCC buyer start with?

Film-faced 18 mm or 21 mm, often 1220×2440 mm. Metric 1250×2500 mm is available on request. HDO is the North America analogue, not the Gulf default. Start with the film-faced plywood range.
