18mm Film Faced Plywood for New Zealand Concrete Formwork

Product Overview

    Haoxin 18mm film faced plywood is supplied for New Zealand concrete formwork, wall formwork, slab formwork, beam formwork and column shuttering applications. Also known as formply or formwork plywood, it provides a smooth film surface and practical panel structure for general concrete construction projects.

    The main export size is 1220*2440mm, also written as a 2440*1220mm plywood sheet. The 18mm plywood option is the main focus of this product, while 9mm plywood, 12mm plywood, 15mm plywood, 21mm plywood and customized thicknesses can be discussed according to project requirements.

    Available core structures include poplar core, poplar-eucalyptus combi core, eucalyptus core and birch core. Black film, brown film, different glue options, sealed edges and export pallet packing can be arranged according to the confirmed order specification.

    If a New Zealand project requires structural plywood performance, preservative-treated plywood, exterior-use specifications or supporting documents, the required standard, treatment, testing and documentation must be confirmed separately before ordering. Film faced plywood should not automatically be described as structural, treated or exterior plywood without corresponding product evidence.

    Haoxin supports bulk plywood sheet orders for importers, formwork suppliers, contractors and building material distributors. Size, plywood thickness, core structure, film color, glue type, edge sealing, packing, quantity and destination port can be discussed according to customer requirements.

What core structures are available?

    Available options include poplar core, poplar-eucalyptus combi core, eucalyptus core and birch core. The appropriate core structure can be selected according to required plywood weight, panel strength, construction application and purchasing budget.

Is this product structural plywood?

    Film faced plywood for general concrete formwork should not automatically be described as structural plywood. If a project requires a structural grade, engineered strength rating, testing or supporting documentation, the complete requirement must be confirmed separately before ordering.

Is film faced plywood the same as treated plywood?

    No. A film faced surface does not mean that the plywood has received preservative treatment. Treated plywood requires a specified treatment process and treatment level. Any preservative treatment requirement should be confirmed separately before production.

Can film faced plywood be used as exterior plywood?

    Film faced plywood is commonly used on construction sites, but it should not automatically be described as exterior plywood. For outdoor or moisture-exposed applications, customers should confirm the glue type, edge sealing, preservative treatment, expected exposure conditions and required documentation before ordering.
