Film-faced plywood is a special plywood with two sides coated with wear-resistant and waterproof film. The film is adhesive impregnated paper, which is different from melamine paper overlay, PVC, MDO (MDO plywood) and HDO (HDO plywood). The function of the film is to protect the inside wood from moisture, water, weather and extend the plywood’s service life. Film-faced plywood can be used in harsh and outside environments: shuttering plywood, formwork plywood, concrete formwork, floorboard, and vehicle building. In this article, ZMADTO will introduce you the applications of film-faced plywood.

(1) Construction industry: shuttering film faced plywood, concrete form, shuttering concrete form, formwork plywood

Film-faced plywood is mainly used for construction. So film-faced plywood is also called shuttering film-faced plywood, concrete form, or shuttering concrete form. Because of this end use, customers usually want WBP film-faced plywood, which is more suitable to be used as shuttering for big projects. However, some customers require MR film-faced plywood, which is to be used as shuttering for ordinary projects.

(2) Anti-slip film faced plywood: flooring materials for building vehicles, work platforms.

According to the types of face/back, film-faced plywood can be divided into smooth film-faced plywood and anti-slip film-faced plywood. Anti-slip film-faced plywood is usually used as a flooring material for vehicles, trucks and platforms.

(3) Film-faced plywood can be used for shelves and furniture, too.

Compared with wood veneer-faced plywood, film-faced plywood is more durable and has more wear-resistant surfaces. So it can be used for making durable furniture and shelves.
