Film-Faced EcoPly Concrete Form Boards, Reusable up to 10 Times, FSC Certified
Welcome to our information sheet on Acacia wood, engineered plywood for the cement forming industry. Engineered Wood Products, a trusted manufacturer, offers high-quality, FSC and ICC-ES certified plywood sheets made from durable Acacia wood. This sheet provides an overview of the benefits and features of our plywood, highlighting its application in the cement forming industry.
Acacia Wood Engineered Plywood for Cement Forming Key Features:
- Strength, Durability, and Attractive Grain Patterns
- Moisture Resistance for Cement Environments
- Dimensional Stability for Consistent Formwork
- Enhanced Aesthetics for Finished Concrete Surfaces
Engineered Wood Products specializes in the production of plywood sheets that are an engineered wood product. Our Acacia wood plywood consists of multiple layers of high-quality Acacia wood veneers bonded together using melamine glue. This construction provides superior strength and stability, making it ideal for use in concrete formwork applications. Our meticulously crafted plywood sheets meet industry standards and ensure optimal performance in cement forming projects.
Film Face and Melamine Glue Bonding: Each of our plywood sheets features a film face on both sides, providing additional protection against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion during the concrete pouring and curing process. The film face not only enhances durability but also enables easy release from the concrete, allowing for efficient reuse. Our plywood sheets are expertly bonded using melamine glue, forming a strong and durable bond that withstands the stresses of cement forming.
- Increased Efficiency: Our plywood’s strength, durability, and dimensional stability contribute to efficient and reliable formwork, reducing project timelines.
- Cost Savings: Reusable plywood minimizes the need for frequent replacements, resulting in long-term cost savings.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: The natural beauty and warm color of Acacia wood enhance the appearance of finished concrete surfaces, leaving a lasting impression.
FSC and ICC-ES Certification: Engineered Wood Products takes pride in being FSC and ICC-ES certified. As a responsible manufacturer, we ensure that our plywood sheets are responsibly sourced and manufactured to meet strict environmental and quality standards. Our commitment to sustainability and compliance demonstrates our dedication to delivering reliable and eco-friendly products.
Engineered Wood Products can cut 60” x 120” sheets, and custom sizes are available. Our standard sheet size is 48 x 96.
EcoPly Concrete form boards are strong, durable, and able to withstand the pressure and weight of wet concrete without bending or breaking. These benefits make it a preferred choice for many concrete construction projects. One of the key benefits of using our product is its strength and load-bearing capacity. It is also lightweight, making it easy to handle and install, and can be cut to size to fit specific formwork requirements.
EcoPly Concrete form board is a sustainable and eco-friendly building material, as it is made from FSC certified wood and can be recycled at the end of its useful life.
CDX Plywood
– Radiata Pine, and Acacia Wood with Melamine Glue –
EcoPly Concrete form boards play a crucial role in the construction industry, providing the framework for pouring and shaping concrete structures. A specific type of concrete form board is made from CDX plywood, with an outer layer composed of radiata pine and an inner core made from acacia wood. These components are bonded together using melamine glue. This write-up explores the composition, characteristics, and advantages of this concrete form board.
Composition
CDX Plywood: CDX plywood is a widely used type of construction-grade plywood. The acronym “CDX” stands for “C-D Exposure,” indicating its exposure rating and ability to withstand weather and moisture during construction. CDX plywood is made by bonding layers of wood veneers together, with alternating grain directions. It consists of lower-grade wood face and back veneers for stability, durability, and resistance to the elements.
Radiata Pine Outer Layer: The outer layer of the concrete form board is composed of radiata pine. Radiata pine is selected for its strength, workability, and availability. It provides a smooth and visually appealing surface finish while contributing to the form board’s structural support and stability.
Acacia Wood Inner Core: The inner core of the concrete form board is made from acacia wood. Acacia wood is valued for its hardness, density, and durability. It enhances the strength and resilience of the form board, enabling it to withstand the pressure exerted by the poured concrete.
Melamine Glue: Melamine glue is utilized to bond the layers of CDX plywood, radiata pine, and acacia wood together. Melamine glue offers exceptional adhesion properties, heat resistance, and moisture resistance. This adhesive ensures a strong and reliable bond between the different layers, enhancing the overall structural integrity of the concrete form board.
Characteristics and Advantages
Strength and Durability: The combination of CDX plywood, radiata pine, and acacia wood results in a concrete form board with high strength and durability. It can withstand the pressure and weight of the poured concrete, ensuring the formwork remains stable during the curing process.
Moisture and Weather Resistance: The exterior-grade glue in CDX plywood, along with the natural properties of acacia wood, imparts moisture and weather resistance to the form board. This resistance prevents warping, swelling, or delamination, ensuring the longevity of the form board.
Smooth Surface Finish: The use of radiata pine as the outer layer contributes to a smooth and visually appealing surface finish on the concrete. This feature is particularly desirable for applications where a high-quality finish is desired, such as architectural concrete elements.
Workability: Concrete form boards made from this composition are typically easy to cut, shape, and handle on the construction site. The strength and stability provided by acacia wood and CDX plywood facilitate easy installation and removal, saving time and effort during the construction process.
Conclusion
The concrete form board made from CDX plywood with an outer layer of radiata pine and an inner core of acacia wood, bonded together using melamine glue, offers a robust and reliable solution for concrete construction. Its strength, durability, moisture resistance, and smooth surface finish make it a valuable choice for a variety of construction applications. By combining the unique characteristics of these materials, this form board provides the necessary support and stability to ensure successful concrete pouring and shaping.
