Description

Formwork Phenolic Film Faced Shuttering Plywood | 18mm

This 18 mm phenolic film faced plywood (also known as formwork or shuttering plywood) is designed for demanding concrete and structural applications. Combining a tough phenolic resin coating with a strong cross-laminated core, it delivers excellent durability, moisture resistance and a smooth concrete finish on every pour.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Multi-layered, cross-laminated veneers give the sheet exceptional structural stability, resisting bending or deflection under the pressure of wet concrete.
  • Phenolic Resin Film on Both Faces – Seals the surface against moisture, abrasion and alkaline concrete exposure, preventing swelling or warping in damp or wet environments.
  • Smooth, High-Quality Concrete Finish – Reduces surface imperfections and minimises post-pour finishing work, ideal for architectural concrete surfaces.

  • Reusable & Cost-Effective – With correct handling and use of release agents, panels can be reused multiple times, reducing waste and cost per pour.
  • Chemical & Weather Resistance – The phenolic surface resists alkali from fresh concrete, as well as general site wear, UV and moisture ingress.
  • Sustainably Sourced – FSC-certified timber core for a more environmentally responsible choice.
  • Custom Sizing Available – Sheets can be supplied in standard sizes or cut to required dimensions.

Typical Applications

  • Wall, beam, column and slab formwork
  • Foundations, retaining walls and structural elements
  • Bridge decks, ramps and large civil engineering formwork
  • Architectural concrete surfaces and exposed finish panels
  • Precast moulds and reusable shuttering systems
