About this product

Film faced birch plywood is a durable all-birch panel overlaid with phenolic film on both sides and sealed at the edges. It is valued for its strength, dimensional stability, and smooth, moisture-resistant surface.

Applications

  • Formwork (concrete shuttering, casting panels, precast elements)
  • Transport (trailer floors, vehicle flooring, containers, sliding doors)
  • Industrial use (platforms, packaging, equipment panels)

Key benefits

Superior strength and durability

Manufactured from 100% birch veneers, this plywood offers a high-density core that provides exceptional load-bearing capacity. It resists impact and bending, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction and formwork.

Smooth, uniform surface

The phenolic film overlay creates a smooth, even finish that supports clean concrete results and a neat appearance in industrial use.

Enhanced moisture and chemical resistance

The phenolic film surface helps protect the panel against moisture while also tolerating commonly used chemicals, including diluted acids and alkalis, making it suitable for demanding working environments.
