Film-Faced Plywood
LaserPLY Form has become the concrete forming and shoring industry standard in North America. Baltic Birch laminated plywood and, specifically, LaserPLY Form allow for more pours per sheet than any other form plywood available. And because it has the same film density on both sides, not only on one side like most softwood form ply, both sides can be used allowing for even more pours if cared for correctly. Tight grain pattern, seamless patching and thickness calibrating sanding eliminate surface degradation and grain transfer allowing for a smooth pour every time. All edges are sealed with an acrylic paint which prevent moisture absorption and extends the life of the panel.

Laminated plywood has many other applications as well. PG Wood Imports offers a variety of films and colors which can be used for ATA boxes, truck liners, trailer beds and playgrounds.

Phenolic Baltic Birch Plywood
Description
What is phenolic Baltic birch plywood? Also known as film-faced plywood, phenolic refers to the resin coating on both sides of the plywood. This film coating provides a wear resistant and waterproof surface that is smooth and glossy.

What is Baltic Birch Plywood? Baltic Birch Plywood is high-quality plywood made from multiple layers of hardwood birch veneers. The layered birch veneers yields a mostly void-free core providing a plywood with more stability, durability and strength. The most distinctive feature of Baltic birch is that the edges are attractive, uniform stripes of hardwood veneer, usually alternating light and dark bands.

Baltic Birch Plywood is prized by woodworkers for it’s uniformity, workability, thick face veneers and excellent screw holding ability.
Film-faced plywood is a building material that is widely used in cast-in-situ concrete construction for concreting vertical, horizontal and inclined formwork structures: foundations, walls, and floors.

Film-faced plywood is a FSF grade birch plywood, both sides of which are covered with a film based on phenol-formaldehyde resin. Thanks to the film-facing, the plywood gets increased moisture resistance and wear resistance properties and improves strength characteristics.

Baumak manufactures plywood under its own brand SunBirch using high-quality materials, which ensures its excellent application performance. 120 g/m2 Russian-manufactured film on Finnish base is used for the facing. Thanks to high-quality materials, our plywood may be reused at least 50 times.

The plywood sheets are bundled protected with 4 and 6 mm thick plywood boards from all sides and tied with metal tape, which ensures its reliable transportation. Each bundle contains information about the grade and the date of manufacture.

Advantages of film-faced plywood: – Increased wear resistance: plywood film-faced with an emulsion can be used repeatedly; – High resistance to aggressive chemical environments: the coating does not deteriorate, when contacting with cement and sodium hydroxide; – Enhanced vapor and moisture resistance: can be operated in conditions of atmospheric humidity up to 80%; – High strength and hardness: resistance to bending, deformation, and fracture, subject to proper operation; – Heat resistance: withstands temperature differences from -30°C to +40°C; – Perfect smoothness of the film surface: reduces adhesion of plywood to concrete, thus enabling repeated use; – A wide range of different thicknesses: choose the most suitable plywood thickness based on the design objectives.
Applications
What makes phenolic so great? It’s one of the most stable, durable and hard surfaces available to work with. The phenolic overlay helps resist cracking, abrasions, and splitting. This is useful when using this plywood for furniture and cabinetry. You can attach fasteners, screws and other mounting hardware without the normal worries of splitting the surface.

It can also withstand heavy loads and pressure and is commonly used in applications requiring high-strength materials, such as building and concrete formwork, scaffolding, and building support systems, as well as trailer walls and doors.

Construction
To ensure longevity, seal all exposed edges after completing project or build.

Use a carbide tip with a high tooth count, and/or masking tape when cutting to avoid chip out or chipping the phenolic surface. We also recommend scoring the surface prior to making final cut.

Use carbide bits for drilling holes. Consider placing sacrificial material beneath your panel to help prevent blow out and chipping. Taping can also help.

Acrylic paint pens work for touch ups on chip out or blemishes.

Use a non-abrasive cleaner to avoid damaging the surface.

Please note, the edge of a full 4’x8′ sheet of material is painted. Resulting cuts to your stock size may result in some edges showing natural grain color and/or black overlay color.
