Forming plywood, also called concrete formwork plywood, is a high-performance panel engineered specifically for casting concrete. Its primary requirements are exceptional strength to withstand wet concrete pressure, high stiffness to prevent deflection (which causes uneven concrete surfaces), and a very smooth, durable face that allows for easy release and leaves a clean concrete finish. This is typically achieved by using dense wood veneers and bonding them with waterproof adhesives. The key differentiator is the overlay—a resin-impregnated paper or phenolic film laminated to the surface under high pressure. This overlay creates a non-porous barrier that resists abrasion from aggregates, prevents adhesion of concrete, and can be reused numerous times. New Create Plywood Company Limited directly serves this critical market segment through its production of film-coated plywood, which is the core product for formwork applications. Our panels are designed to meet the rigorous demands of construction sites, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for contractors. By optimizing the balance between film quality, core construction, and bond integrity, we aim to deliver formwork panels that ensure high-quality concrete outcomes and maximize reuse cycles. For technical data sheets, available film types (e.g., brown, black, maple), and thickness options for your formwork projects, please contact our specialized sales team.
