Black Film Faced Concrete Formwork

The Industry Standard for Reliable Construction and High-Volume Casting

Black Film Faced Plywood is the workhorse of the modern construction site. Engineered for versatility and cost-efficiency, this panel features a high-density birch or hardwood combi-core that provides the structural rigidity necessary for vertical and horizontal concrete molding. The surface is overlaid with a sleek, black phenolic film (typically 120g/m²) that is bonded under high heat to create a hard, moisture-resistant shell. This film not only protects the wood from the alkaline nature of wet concrete but also ensures a smooth, clean release, allowing for a professional finish on structural walls, foundations, and slabs. It is the go-to solution for contractors who require a balance between high performance and competitive pricing.

The core strength of our Black Film Faced Plywood lies in its WBP (Water Boil Proof) phenolic glue lines. This adhesive technology ensures that the veneers remain tightly bonded even in the most punishing weather conditions, preventing delamination during the hydration process of the concrete. To further enhance durability, the edges of every sheet are treated with a specialized waterproof acrylic sealant. This critical step prevents moisture wicking, which is the primary cause of edge swelling. By maintaining the panel's dimensional stability, we ensure that it can be reused across multiple cycles, providing a lower "cost-per-pour" for large-scale infrastructure and residential projects alike.

In addition to its primary use in formwork, the black phenolic surface is highly valued for its utilitarian aesthetics. It is frequently used in the construction of temporary hoarding, workshop storage, and utility trailers. The black finish is non-porous and easy to wipe down, resisting oils, fuels, and common construction chemicals. Whether it is used to cast a smooth basement wall or to build a rugged temporary platform, this panel delivers a consistent, high-quality result that professional builders have relied on for decades.

Precision is at the heart of our manufacturing. Each panel is calibrated to ensure uniform thickness, allowing for seamless alignment in large formwork systems. This consistency reduces the need for "grinding" concrete joints after the forms are stripped, saving significant labor time on the job site. With a focus on structural integrity and surface reliability, our Black Film Faced Concrete Formwork is an essential component for any modern building project.
