Film faced plywood, also known as formwork plywood or shuttering plywood, is a specialized type of plywood designed for durability in demanding applications. It features two sides coated with a durable and waterproof film. Unlike overlays such as melamine paper, PVC, MDO (Medium Density Overlay), and HDO (High Density Overlay) plywood, the film on film faced plywood is adhesive impregnated paper. This film serves a crucial role in protecting the inner wood layers from moisture, water, and weather, thereby significantly extending the plywood's lifespan.
Film faced plywood is particularly suitable for use in harsh outdoor environments and demanding construction applications. Its primary uses include shuttering plywood, formwork for concrete structures, floorboards, and vehicle building components. This plywood variant is valued for its resilience and reliability under challenging conditions, making it a preferred choice in construction projects where durability and performance are essential.
Specification of Film Faced Plywood
Ａ．Film Color: Brown, Black, or Custom Options
The most common choices for film color are brown and black. In China, brown film faced plywood is often perceived to have better quality than black film faced plywood. However, this is not always the case, as some black film faced plywood can match the high quality of brown film faced options. When making an inquiry, an experienced sales representative can help determine the specific quality that meets your needs.
Ｂ．Quality of Film:
In China, film quality is typically categorized into two types: local film and imported film. Local film refers to products manufactured by Chinese companies, while imported film comes from international brands, such as Dynea. Dynea film is widely recognized as the top-quality option in China. If you require premium film for your plywood, we recommend using Dynea film to ensure the best performance and durability.
Ｃ．Core Options: Poplar, Hardwood, Eucalyptus, Birch
Approximately 70% of the film faced plywood we supply is made with a poplar core, known for its high quality and competitive pricing. For customers seeking hardwood film faced plywood, we use hardwood or eucalyptus veneers, which provide excellent strength and durability, making them ideal for applications such as building bridges or high-rise structures. Additionally, we offer birch film faced plywood, which is also renowned for its hardness and long-lasting performance.
