The plywood core is the most important element for film-faced plywood quality. The core provides most strength of the board. It is important to choose the right core for your marine plywood demand.
XUZHOU MEGAFORM features three core types: finger joint core, poplar core and eucalyptus core. Poplar veneers are sourced in Northern China. Eucalyptus veneers are sourced from Southern China.
All these materials are sourced legally from local suppliers in China. We can provide Chain of Custody FSC certification for our film faced plywood. Read more about core types.
Glue Types
Glue used for plywood are UF, Melamine UF, Phenolic UF. Melamine UF is the most used glue for formwork plywood due to its resistance to moisture and low cost compared with phenolic glue.
Read more about glue types.
WBP Melamine
Melamine fortified urea-formaldehyde glue is a very strong adhesive with enhanced waterproof capability. Film faced plywood manufactured with melamine glue can withstand 10-24 hours of water boiling without delamination. It’s an economic WBP glue compared with phenolic glue. WBP melamine is also called B-bond.
WBP Phenolic
Phenolic is the best glue for formwork plywood. It is a permanent WBP bond that can bond adjacent veneers permanently without delamination. Phenolic is also called A-bond for its great performance. It can withstand a 48-72 hours boil test.
Film Types
Our marine plywood is laminated with XUZHOU MEGAform film or custom printed film.
The film is opaque. It is literally kraft impregnated with melamine glue or phenolic glue. Usually generic brands or dynea brand.
Square or hexagon patterned anti-slip film are available with the help of special pattern hot pressing plates.
Film color can be black color, brown color, red color or green color. MDO and HDO are also available.

Waterproof Edge Seal
It is mandatory to seal the plywood edges with waterproof material since film faced marine plywood is stored and used outdoor.
The panels are in direct contact with concrete so they must be waterproof. Rain and concrete will invade the glue line of plywood unless the plywood is properly sealed on the edges.
Before the edges are painted, our workers fill the edges with putties and phenolic glue. Then waterproof paint is sprayed on the putties to make sure the edges are perfectly sealed.
When you cut the plywood at the job site, make sure that the workers will seal the cut edges before concrete is poured.
