FOMEX GREENWOOD FILM FACED PLYWOOD MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

   Film-faced plywood is a kind of veneer plywood covered with phenolic film and WBP glue, that’s why it is increased stability and resistant to moisture, ultraviolet radiation, and corrosive chemicals. Film-faced plywood is ideal for formwork and will keep its shape regardless of changes in humidity. Its film face provides different finishes such as wire mesh anti-slip smooth finish and is suitable to use for internal and external applications. Film-faced plywood is finished to high standards and has a high resistance to corrosion and moisture.

   Film-faced plywood is mainly used for construction. It can help to accelerate the construction progress, improve the quality of the project and reduce the cost of the project. This is very important (Film faced plywood applications) and Film faced plywood is one kind of formwork plywood from Vietnam.

FILM FACED PLYWOOD STORAGE // FOMEX GREENWOOD BRAND

1. The film-faced plywood in a dry, clean and airy environment, avoids high moisture or heat places. We keep the plywood sheet horizontal and do not let the plywood sheet contact directly with the ground.

2. Plywood should be stored in a horizontal position, in the packs on pallets, wooden strips, or wooden bars-pads (thickness – not less than 50 mm, length-not less than the width of a pack, without overhanging).

3. Store individual sheets on a stable basis over the ground. Use pallets, wooden strips, or wooden bars-pads to avoid the sagging of plywood sheets.

4. Storage temperature should be from -40° to +50° C. Relative humidity must not exceed 80%.

5. During long-term storage, cut or remove all package tapes. This will prevent the appearance of marks on the top and bottom sheets of the packs.

6. If plywood is temporarily stored outdoors, cover it with an impermeable material. Protect flat ends from moisture. Pallets, wooden strips, or wooden bars-pads must be dry to avoid leaving marks on the film.

7. If plywood gets wet, let it dry naturally.

FILM FACED PLYWOOD MAINTENANCE // FOMEX GREENWOOD BRAND

    While using the Film-faced plywood, the users should protect the shuttering plywood to gain more recycling uses. Below is our suggestion:

1/ Standard Tools

Panels should be cut, shaped, and drilled by using standard wood-working tools. Recommended blade diameter ~ 350 mm, thickness ~ 3.5 mm, number of teeth > 100, and rotational speed 3,000 - 3,600 rpm.

2/ Edges & Holes Sealing

Seal resulting raw edges, holes, and all damaged areas with appropriate water-resistant/ proof paint.

3/ Avoidance of Falls or Drops

Workers at site need to handle (carry, install, remove, etc.) panels properly and do not drop or let them fall from high levels or directly hit other materials or the ground

4/ Application of Release Agent
Even though the PSF overlay contains a certain amount of release agent, it is necessary that panels should be coated with suitably approved oil to ensure a cleaner and easier striking, as well as reusage.

5/ Reverse Side Fastening
Panels should be fastened to formwork support components from the reverse side with screws. Shank's nails are not recommended.

6/ Cleaning after Use
Formwork plywood panels should be cleaned with water after use to remove concrete residues and other sticking materials on their surface. Suitable care is required to avoid damaging panels

   The above is the storage and maintenance instruction from FOMEX GROUP for all our clients who are supplying our film-faced plywood as well as all the constructor/end-user who is using our FOMEX GREENWOOD Brand of Film Faced Plywood.
