Film Faced Plywood Manufacturer in China | F17 Shuttering Plywood Supplier for Concrete Formwork


🧱 What is Film Faced Plywood?

Film faced plywood is a high-strength engineered wood panel used for concrete formwork systems in construction projects. It is manufactured by hot-pressing multiple veneer layers (poplar, eucalyptus, birch, pine) and coating the surface with phenolic resin film to improve waterproofing, wear resistance, and durability.

It is widely used in:

  • Building construction

  • Bridge engineering

  • Tunnel projects

  • Scaffolding systems

For international wood panel standards:
