What you must know about film faced plywood
Film faced plywood is also called formwork plywood, shuttering plywoods, concrete form. Film faced plywood is the special plywood with two sides coated with wearable and water proof film. The film is adhesive impregnated paper, which are different from melamine paper overlay, PVC, MDO and HDO.
There are great advantages in exporting film faced plywood in China, due to its durability and easily handled surface it can be used in open environment in construction and building projects.
For the film faced plywood, the following is the key advantages:
a) Highly wear resistant
b) Resistant to most aggressive environments, including chemicals
c) Higher water resistance
d) Slip resistant (meshy surface)
e) Hard surface
f) Resistance to temperature variation: through a range of -40°C to +50°C
g) Comes in a variety of thicknesses and sizes
h) Weight less than steel plate, easy to model as requested
i) Recycling to use many times
For the production, the film faced plywood is made of wooden veneer, glue and film.
First of all, the core is made from thin sheets of wood veneer. These are stacked together with the grain direction of the ply differing from its neighbours’ by 90º (cross banding), assembling the wooden veneer with the glue.
Through prepressing and core repairment to shape and flat. Then using the hot press machine to press the core. This progress makes sure the veneer glued together tightly.
Sanding is for a smooth surface.
Then laminated and pressed by hot press machine again.
Finally, using the trimming machine trims the core into standard size, edges printed with waterproof paint.
In addition, the skilled quality control personnel will check one by one, to ensure the premium quality of each.
For the end product, we have the different styles can meet the requirement:
a) Size: 1250*2500, 1220*2440;
b) Thickness: 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, 21mm;
c) Core: poplar, hardwood, birch, combined;
d) Film: Black, Brown, Red, Anti-slip;
e) Glue: MR, Melamine, WBP;
