Tell us your preferred ply count, such as a 12-ply construction, and the finished panel requirements. We check density, veneer joints, repairs, thickness and flatness against the agreed order.
Our factory agrees the pressing and calibration process for your selected panel. Where two-stage pressing is specified, the bonded core is prepared before the film is applied. Send the finished thickness, flatness and surface requirements; we confirm the production checks with your order.
Original edges receive the agreed coating, with compatible resealing planned for later cuts and holes. Choose the film adhesion, core bond and edge finish around your site use. See how our plywood is produced.
A working face for concrete forming. A plywood construction chosen for your site.
Film faced plywood has a resin-impregnated paper surface pressed onto a cross-laminated plywood core. The intact film reduces direct moisture contact and concrete adhesion, creating a working face for concrete formwork. It is widely chosen for slab and wall shuttering where the surface, sheet size and site handling need to work together.
Buyers also ask for shuttering plywood, formply, phenolic plywood or phenolic board. For concrete forming, our phenolic board has a resin-treated paper face over a plywood core. Choose the film, core, exterior bond, thickness and sealed edges together. A 120 g/m² film is one option; we help match the complete panel to your concrete finish, handling and budget.
For a formply project, tell us the required grade, panel properties and intended use. If you need film faced marine plywood, include the marine base construction alongside the working overlay. Compare unoverlaid Commercial Plywood and decorative melamine panels for jobs needing a natural or decorative face.
Share the job and the details you know. Our factory team helps you select the surface, core and processing for your order.
Use this side-by-side comparison to narrow your choice. We’ll confirm the selected specification, sample and packing with your quotation.

Read the key results for each tested panel below, or open the original report. We also supply other thicknesses, sheet sizes and core options. Share your use and any project-specified standard; our factory confirms the relevant panel and documents with your quote.
For the tested hardwood panel, SGS recorded 54.7 MPa bending strength, 5,360 MPa bending stiffness and 1.40 MPa surface bond strength. Formaldehyde was not detected at the report’s 0.2 mg/L detection limit. These results help compare panel properties and overlay adhesion for your formwork specification.
Test methods: GB/T 17657-1999 · GB/T 15102-2006 · GB 18580-2001
For the tested 18 mm film-faced board (B), SGS recorded 1.2 mg/L formaldehyde, 0.59 N/mm² internal bond strength and 700 abrasion-test revolutions. Peel length after immersion was 13 mm. The melamine-faced board (A) has separate results in the PDF. Laboratory abrasion revolutions describe surface wear under the test conditions; site reuse depends on panel care and handling.
Test methods: GB 18580:2001 · GB/T 17657-1999 · ISO 7784-2:1997

Film, core, bond and site use
Film faced plywood is commonly used for concrete formwork, including slab and wall shuttering. The resin-treated working face reduces concrete adhesion and moisture contact at an intact surface. Choose the core, bond, thickness and edge protection to suit your formwork design, required concrete finish and site handling.
Yes. Tell us your formwork application, required finish and preferred thickness. We will discuss a suitable face and core sample, any relevant test documents, and sample and courier costs before arranging dispatch. If you are unsure which construction to choose, our factory team can help you compare options.
Send your sheet size, thickness, quantity, destination country or port, and formwork use. Add a preferred film colour, core or delivery date if known. Start with the details you already have; our factory team helps choose the panel and confirms minimum quantities, production timing, packing, payment and shipping terms with your quote.
They are different overlay families. Phenolic film faced plywood uses resin-impregnated paper for the stated construction; HDO and MDO use resin-fibre overlays with different surface and finish requirements. Tell us whether your priority is concrete forming, painting or another use so we can help you choose the right panel.
Choose brown or black to match your project or previous order. We help select the film grade, core, bond and sealed edges for your concrete finish and site handling. Compare a face and cut-edge sample to confirm the colour and complete panel before production.
Phenolic-paper options span 90–220 g/m² across the configurations. Tell us the forming, stripping and cleaning duty; we help match the film grade, finish and wear requirements to your reuse plan. For a PP surface, specify the overlay material and thickness. A concrete trial can help confirm a demanding surface finish.
We offer poplar, combi, eucalyptus, hardwood and selected birch constructions according to the chosen configuration. Compare sheet weight, stiffness, edge quality, flatness, budget and project requirements. Send us your formwork use and priorities; our factory team can help you select a core and review a sample.

If your project names EN 314-1 testing with an EN 314-2 Class 3 requirement, include those details so we can confirm the product documents with your quote.
Tell us your reuse target, concrete finish and site method so we can help select the film and core. The number of pours depends on panel condition, supports, release agent, stripping, cleaning, edge repairs and storage. Inspect between pours and agree a site trial where the required finish or reuse target calls for one.
Clean and dry the exposed wood, then promptly apply a compatible waterproof edge-sealing paint. Confirm the coat count and curing time before use. Factory coating protects the original edges; site cuts, holes and damaged corners need their own resealing.
Yes. Thickness options include 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 25 mm across the configurations. Regular sheet sizes: 1220×2440, 1250×2500, 1525×3050 mm.
