FILM FACE SHUTTERING PLYWOOD

THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLYWOOD ON THE MARKET TODAY DESIGNED FOR USE AS MATERIAL FOR CONCRETE FORMS. THE PLYWOOD INDUSTRY HAS TRADITIONALLY USED VARIOUS CONIFER TREE SPECIES. PLYWOOD IS ALSO MADE OUT OF SEVERAL TROPICAL HARDWOOD SPECIES. THEIR TECHNICAL PROPERTIES AND QUALITY VARY CONSIDERABLY, WHICH MEANS THAT DIMENSIONING VALUES ARE GIVEN ON AN UNRELIABLE BASIS. THAT IS WHY YOU CANNOT RELY ON JUST ANY TYPE OF PLYWOOD FOR FORMS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO SECURE THE STRENGTH BY USING THICKER PANELS AND SHORTER SPANS FOR FORM SUPPORTS.

THE MORE VENEER PLIES THERE ARE AND THE STRONGER THE RAW MATERIAL, THE HARDER-WEARING THE PANEL. THE MORE PLIES PLYWOOD HAS, THE HIGH QUALITY ITS CHARACTERISTICS ARE. THE MULTIPLY CONSTRUCTION BALANCES PLYWOOD STRUCTURE AND ELIMINATES THE NON-HOMOGENEITY IN THE WOOD MATERIAL.

THE WBP BONDING ALLOWS EVEN LARGE VARIATIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OF APPLICATION. THE PHENOLIC FILM COATING AND THE MULTI-LAYER COATINGS WITHSTAND BOTH SCORCHING SUNSHINE AND HARD FROST. FURTHERMORE, THE COATINGS PREVENT WATER ABSORPTION BY THE WOOD MATERIAL AND SIMULTANEOUSLY PROTECT THE CONCRETE FROM DRYING UP. TIME AFTER TIME THEY YIELD A GOOD AND SMOOTH CONCRETE FACE, WHICH CAN NORMALLY BE PAINTED AND WALLPAPERED AS SUCH.
HOW TO GET THE GREATEST POSSIBLE BENEFIT FROM SHUTTERING PLYWOOD?

SHUTTERING PLYWOOD WITHSTANDS HARD USE FOR A LONG TIME, AS WELL AS THE MOST COMMON CHEMICALS AND THE CORRODING EFFECT OF THE CONCRETE. AND THROUGH CORRECT MAINTENANCE THE SERVICE-LIFE OF THE PANELS CAN BE CONSIDERABLY LENGTHENED.

* EDGES SEALING:
 EDGES OF PANELS SHOULD BE SEALED AT THE MILL WITH SPECIAL PAINT TO PROTECT AGAINST MOISTURE ABSORPTION. ALL MACHININGS THAT BREAK THE FILM FACE AND ALL EDGES SAWN ON SITE MUST ALSO BE TREATED WITH A SEALING PAINT OR FILLER. WE RECOMMEND A MINIMUM OF TWO LAYERS OF PAINT TO BE USED.

* USE RELEASE AGENTS:
 RELEASE AGENTS SHOULD BE ALREADY APPLIED BEFORE THE FIRST CASTING. THE FORMS HAVE TO BE CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER FORM DISMANTLING WITHOUT DAMAGING PANEL SURFACES AND THEY HAVE TO BE OILED BEFORE THE NEXT USE. RELEASE AGENTS ARE APPLIED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

* DRY AND STORE PANELS CORRECTLY:
IN PARTICULARLY DEMANDING CASTING CONDITION (e.g. ONE CASTING PER DAY CONTINUOUSLY) PLYWOOD MOISTURE CONTENT FINALLY GREATLY EXCEEDS THE DESIGN VALUE CAUSING A SUBSTANTIAL RISE IN DEFLECTION AND A REDUCTION IN STRENGTH. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE SPLITTING AND WARPING, DRYING TOO QUICKLY SHOULD BE AVOIDED. THE PANELS ARE BEST STACKED ON LEVEL GROUND AND PROTECTED FROM EXPOSURE TO RAIN AND DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
