Red Shuttering Plywood: Robust & Reliable for Construction Projects

Red shuttering plywood, also known as film-faced plywood, is a high-strength, versatile material ideal for various construction applications, especially formwork for concrete pouring. Its distinctive red film facing provides superior protection and durability, making it a cost-effective and efficient choice for professionals.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Superior Strength & Durability: Engineered from high-quality hardwood veneers and bonded with high-performance waterproof adhesive, red shuttering plywood offers exceptional strength and resistance to warping, cracking, and delamination. This ensures consistent performance throughout multiple pours.
• Smooth Film Faced Surface: The smooth, red phenolic film face provides a clean, release-agent-friendly surface for concrete. This prevents concrete adhesion, significantly reducing cleaning time and effort between pours. The film also protects the plywood core from moisture damage, extending its lifespan.
• Waterproof & Moisture Resistant: The advanced waterproof adhesive and protective film create a significant barrier against moisture penetration, minimizing swelling and ensuring longevity even in demanding conditions.
• High-Quality Core: The plywood core is constructed from carefully selected hardwood veneers, providing exceptional stability and strength to withstand the pressures of concrete pouring.
• Reusable & Cost-Effective: Red shuttering plywood's durability allows for multiple uses, significantly reducing material costs compared to single-use alternatives. Proper care and maintenance further extend its lifespan.
• Easy to Handle & Cut: Despite its strength, the plywood remains manageable and can be easily cut and shaped to fit diverse formwork requirements.

Specifications:

• Facing: Red phenolic film on both sides
• Core: High-quality hardwood veneers (specific species may vary, check with supplier)
• Thickness: Available in various thicknesses (e.g., 12mm, 15mm, 18mm) – specify your required thickness upon ordering.
• Size: Standard sheet sizes available (e.g., 1220mm x 2440mm) – check with supplier for variations.
• Grade: Typically conforms to relevant industry standards for shuttering plywood (specific grade may vary, check with supplier).

Applications:

• Concrete Formwork: Ideal for creating formwork for walls, columns, beams, and slabs.
• Construction Sites: Suitable for various temporary construction applications requiring strength and moisture resistance.
• Scaffolding (with appropriate safety measures): Can be used in conjunction with other materials as part of a scaffolding system.

Maintenance:

• Clean the plywood thoroughly after each use to remove any residual concrete.
• Store the plywood in a dry place to prevent moisture damage.
• Use appropriate release agents to facilitate easy removal of concrete.

Note: Always consult with a structural engineer to ensure the appropriate grade and thickness of red shuttering plywood is used for your specific project requirements. The availability of specific thicknesses and sizes may vary depending on the supplier. Please contact us for further details and pricing.
