YALONGFORM™ Film Faced Plywood
Trade Names: Marine Plywood, Marineplex, Marine Board, Formply, Tego Plywood, Phenolic Board.
Film faced plywood is waterproof marine plywood manufactured for concrete shuttering and forming.
It is suitable for multiple uses, cheap, easy to clean and cut, thus intensively used by the formwork companies.
YALONGFORM is manufactured with quality veneers with WBP glue that can withstand harsh weather and rain. We have non-structural and structural options.
Both sides of the plywood are coated with an opaque phenolic film overlay and the four edges are sealed with waterproof paint. The film can be custom printed.
The most popular specifications are 1220x2440x18mm with black or brown color film overlay on both sides.

The plywood core is the most important element for film-faced plywood quality. The core provides most strength of the board. It is important to choose the right core for your marine plywood demand.
YALONGFORM features three core types: finger joint core, poplar core and eucalyptus core. Poplar veneers are sourced in Northern China. Eucalyptus veneers are sourced from Southern China.
All these materials are sourced legally from local suppliers in China. We can provide Chain of Custody FSC certification for our film faced plywood. Read more about core types.
Film Types
Our marine plywood is laminated with Yalongform film or custom printed film.
The film is opaque. It is literally kraft impregnated with melamine glue or phenolic glue. Usually generic brands or dynea brand.
Square or hexagon patterned anti-slip film are available with the help of special pattern hot pressing plates.
Film color can be black color, brown color, red color or green color. MDO and HDO are also available.
Waterproof Edge Seal
It is mandatory to seal the plywood edges with waterproof material since film faced marine plywood is stored and used outdoor.
The panels are in direct contact with concrete so they must be waterproof. Rain and concrete will invade the glue line of plywood unless the plywood is properly sealed on the edges.
Before the edges are painted, our workers fill the edges with putties and phenolic glue. Then waterproof paint is sprayed on the putties to make sure the edges are perfectly sealed.
When you cut the plywood at the job site, make sure that the workers will seal the cut edges before concrete is poured.

FAQ
The phenolic film overlay is super smooth and waterproof. The four edges of the panel sheet is also sealed in order to obtain a waterproof capability. The glue inside the plywood is WBP weather and boiling proof bond. It is not 100% waterproof but the treatment can prevent the plywood to swell under humid.
Due to its durability film faced plywood is widely used in concrete forming and vehicle flooring, loading platforms, truck and trailer floors and wagons.
Phenolic bonded plywood is used for load-bearing but it is not necessarily structural. Non-structural plywood can also be used in the formwork. If you need specially structural plywood please indicate to our sales team.
Finger joint core plywood is made from recycled plywood. It is not as strong as the full core poplar but much cheaper in price. It can be used 2-4 times. It is ideal for corners, walls and low budget projects.
We have wire mesh, square and hexagon patterns.
