Vietnam currently has become the leading film-faced plywood manufacturer in the world, the film-faced plywood from Vietnam has many characteristics that make it suitable popular for concrete formwork. Thus import plywood from Vietnam now is a trend.

There’re 5 characteristics that make Vietnam Film-Faced Plywood is good for construction formwork:

1/ Vietnam film-faced plywood is made from a strong type of core.

Vietnam with advantages of abundant sources of Acacia and Eucalyptus which is a typical tropical hardwood plantation in Vietnam. The characteristics of this core are very strong and popular in Vietnam.

The quality of the film-faced plywood depends on the quality and characteristics of the materials made it. There 3 main input materials for film faced plywood manufacturing:

– Core Veneer: The strength of the core will depend on the quality of the veneer.
+ A-grade veneer: The full sheet of veneer, not knot, not a hole, not torn
+ B grade veneer: The full sheet of veneer, small knot or hole, could be turned
+ C grade veneer: Not a full sheet of veneer, large knot, or hole can be accepted.

– Glue: The glue is the second element to make the veneer layers stick together strongly, in Vietnam many film faced plywood manufacturers usually use Melamine Glue for producing, some factories could use Phenolic Glue for producing that make the plywood sheets is stronger.

– Phenolic Film: The quality of the plywood sheet also depends on the quality of the film-faced, high-quality phenolic film helps the plywood sheet be waterproof and be more durable.
