Black Film Faced Plywood

Black Film Faced Plywood Overview

Black film faced plywood is a high-performance construction material designed to meet the demands of modern building projects.
With its waterproof phenolic film surface and strong multi-layered core, this plywood delivers durability, stability, and
reusability for a wide range of applications. It is particularly popular in concrete formwork, scaffolding platforms, and
heavy-duty flooring solutions where strength and consistency are essential.

Material Structure and Core Options

The core of black film faced plywood can be made from poplar, eucalyptus, birch, or a mixed hardwood combination.
These materials are carefully selected and bonded with high-quality WBP phenolic or melamine adhesives.
The result is a panel with a density of 600–700 kg/m³ and moisture content of ≤12%, ensuring minimal warping,
excellent load-bearing performance, and long-term stability on construction sites.

Surface Film and Protective Features

Both sides of the panel are covered with a durable black phenolic film. This protective layer offers resistance against
moisture, abrasion, and chemical corrosion, extending the plywood’s lifespan and improving reusability.
The smooth surface helps achieve clean concrete finishes with reduced surface defects, while anti-slip patterns
are also available for flooring, staging, and transport uses where safety is a priority.

Key Advantages

• Waterproof and weather-resistant, suitable for outdoor construction projects
• Reusable up to 8–15 times in formwork applications, reducing project costs
• High strength-to-weight ratio with excellent structural reliability
• Easy to cut, drill, and install without compromising durability
• Eco-friendly adhesives and CARB, CE, FSC, ISO9001, EPA certifications

Main Applications

Black film faced plywood is widely used across the construction and transport industries.
In concrete shuttering, it ensures smooth casting results and reduces labor for post-treatment.
In flooring, it provides stability and long-lasting wear resistance for truck beds, trailers, and walkways.
It is also trusted in bridge and tunnel projects, scaffolding platforms, and outdoor stages where
strength and safety are essential.

Sustainability and Value

Beyond performance, black film faced plywood supports sustainable construction practices.
Many manufacturers use plantation-grown timber and eco-friendly adhesives to reduce environmental impact.
Its long service life, recyclability, and compliance with green building standards make it
a cost-effective and responsible choice for contractors and engineers worldwide.
