Customized Black Film Faced Plywood

 

Black film-faced plywood, also known as black-faced plywood or black shuttering plywood, is a type of construction material commonly used in formwork for concrete casting due to its durability and smooth surface. Here are some key points about this material:

1. Composition: It typically consists of multiple layers of wood veneer bonded together with waterproof adhesive. One side of the board is coated with a black phenolic film which provides excellent water resistance and makes it ideal for use in wet conditions.

2. Applications: This type of plywood is widely used in construction projects for making formworks (shuttering) that hold wet concrete in place until it sets. The smooth black surface helps to achieve a high-quality finish on the concrete.

3. Advantages:
- Water Resistance: The phenolic film coating makes it highly resistant to moisture, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions.
- Durability: It can withstand multiple cycles of use before needing replacement.
- Smooth Finish: The black film ensures a smooth finish on the concrete, reducing the need for additional finishing work.

4. Dimensions and Specifications: Common sizes include 915mm x 1830mm or 1220mm x 2440mm, but these can vary depending on the manufacturer. Thicknesses typically range from 12mm to 18mm.

5. Care and Maintenance: To extend its lifespan, it should be stored in a dry place when not in use and handled carefully during construction to avoid damage.

6. Environmental Considerations: While useful, the production of such plywood involves the use of adhesives and films that may have environmental impacts. Some manufacturers offer eco-friendly alternatives.
