Waterproof Edge Seal
It is important to seal the edges of the film faced plywood. Formwork plywood is used outdoor and in direct contact with concrete so it must be waterproof. Rain and concrete will inevitably invade the glue line of plywood unless the plywood is sealed on the edges.
Before the edges are painted, we fill them with putties first. Waterproof paint is sprayed over the putty to make sure the edges are perfectly sealed. When you cut the plywood at the job site, make sure that you seal the cut edges before you use them.

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.
