Product Overview

High-Efficiency Formwork Engineered for the Rigors of the Modern Job Site

Concrete Shuttering Panels are the essential structural component in modern cast-in-place concrete construction. Specifically designed to act as a temporary mold for wet concrete, these panels must withstand massive hydrostatic pressure and mechanical vibration while maintaining absolute dimensional stability. Our shuttering panels are engineered using a high-density hardwood core—primarily birch or premium combi-core—bonded with industrial-grade WBP (Water Boil Proof) phenolic resins. The surface is encapsulated in a hard-wearing phenolic film that prevents moisture from the concrete mix from penetrating the wood fibers, ensuring a smooth, predictable, and professional "fair-faced" concrete finish every time.

The success of a construction project often depends on the cycle-life of the formwork. Our panels are designed for high reusability, allowing contractors to move them from one pour to the next without the warping or edge-swelling common in lower-grade materials. To achieve this, every panel is factory-sealed on all four edges with a specialized waterproof acrylic coating. This "barrier technology" is critical for preventing moisture wicking, which is the leading cause of delamination in construction plywood. Whether you are forming foundation slabs, vertical columns, or complex bridge abutments, these panels provide the rigidity needed to minimize deflection and ensure that the finished structure meets the exact specifications of the architectural plan.

Efficiency on the job site is enhanced by the panels' low-friction surface. The high-grammage phenolic film acts as a natural release agent, meaning that the panels strip away from the cured concrete with minimal effort and leave behind a surface that requires little to no post-processing. This reduces labor costs associated with cleaning and grinding concrete walls. For high-rise residential and commercial developments, the consistency of our shuttering panels ensures that the "pour-to-pour" quality remains uniform, helping projects stay on schedule and within budget while maintaining the highest safety standards for the workers on the platform.

At the core of our manufacturing process is a commitment to precision. Each panel is calibrated to a tight thickness tolerance, ensuring that joints between panels remain flush and leak-proof during the pour. This attention to detail results in a concrete surface that is free from "steps" or grout leakage, providing a premium aesthetic for structural concrete. From massive infrastructure projects like dams and tunnels to residential basements, our Concrete Shuttering Panels deliver the strength, durability, and finish that professional builders rely on to shape the world's skyline.

Logistics and Financial Terms

Shuttering panels are heavy industrial goods; we optimize container loading to ensure maximum volume while maintaining pallet stability. We use reinforced corner protection and plastic wrapping to guard against humidity during sea freight. Payment is typically handled via T/T (30% deposit) or L/C at sight. Our logistics team provides full documentation for construction site delivery.

Formwork Comparison

  • Vs. Plastic Formwork: Shuttering panels are more stable in heat and easier to cut for custom architectural shapes.
  • Vs. Steel Forms: Significantly lighter, more cost-effective for smaller projects, and faster to install on-site.
  • Vs. Standard Plywood: Phenolic coating and WBP glue offer 5x the lifespan and a vastly superior concrete finish.

Structural Composition

The panel consists of cross-laminated veneers bonded under extreme heat. This layering ensures the panel doesn't expand or shrink when exposed to the water in concrete. The Phenolic Film is pressed at 200掳C to create a glass-smooth, chemically resistant barrier.

The core density (approx. 530-700kg/m³) is balanced to allow for superior nail and screw holding, which is critical for securing the panels to the primary formwork system.

Green Building Commitment

By maximizing the reuse-to-waste ratio, our shuttering panels contribute to lower timber consumption in the construction sector. We use low-VOC phenolic resins and source raw timber from sustainably managed plantation forests, ensuring that infrastructure projects can meet modern LEED or BREEAM sustainability criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many pours can I get from one panel?
A: Birch core panels typically last 20-30 pours, while poplar cores last 8-12, depending on maintenance.
Q: Do I still need mold release oil?
A: Yes, for the best finish and longest panel life, a thin layer of release oil is always recommended.
Q: Can I cut the panels to fit corners?
A: Yes, they can be cut with standard saws. You must reseal the cut edges immediately with waterproof paint.
Q: What is "Fair-Faced" concrete?
A: It is a finish that is smooth and aesthetically pleasing enough to be left exposed without plastering.
Q: Is the glue waterproof?
A: Yes, we use WBP (Water Boil Proof) glue which won't delaminate in wet weather or boiling water.
Q: What is the most common thickness?
A: 18mm (3/4") is the global standard for most wall and slab shuttering applications.
Q: Why are the edges painted?
A: The paint is a waterproof sealant that stops water from entering the core and causing edge-swelling.
Q: How should panels be stored?
A: Store them flat, under cover, and clean off any dry concrete residue after each use.
Q: Does the film color matter?
A: Dark brown is the standard; the quality is determined by the grammage (e.g., 120g/m³) rather than the color.
Q: Are the panels calibrated?
A: Yes, they are sanded and calibrated for uniform thickness to ensure flush joints in the formwork.
