Film Face Plywood – Strength That Lasts, By Primark Ply & Boards

In the construction world, not all plywood is created equal. For projects that demand strength, moisture resistance, and multiple reuses, Film Face Plywood (FFP) stands out as the go-to material. At Primark Ply & Boards, we manufacture and supply high-grade Film Face Plywood built to perform under extreme conditions. Whether you're working on shuttering, formwork, concrete molds, or industrial flooring, our plywood ensures durability and economy with every sheet.

What Is Film Face Plywood?

Film Face Plywood (commonly referred to as shuttering plywood or formwork plywood) is a special type of engineered wood panel made from high-quality hardwood veneers, bonded with phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin, and overlaid with a smooth film. This film—usually black or brown—is made from impregnated kraft paper, which adds water resistance and provides a smooth finish suitable for concrete casting.

Unlike standard commercial plywood, Film Face Plywood is designed for repeated use, making it highly economical for construction applications. It resists warping, cracking, delamination, and moisture—all critical concerns in concrete shuttering.

Key Features of Primark Film Face Plywood

At Primark, our Film Face Plywood is manufactured using top-quality raw materials and industry-best processes to ensure high performance and long life. Here’s what makes our FFP stand out:

1. High-Density Core

We use hardwood veneers and well-pressed core structures to ensure uniform strength and density. This results in better load-bearing capacity and resistance to bending.

2. Waterproof & Weather Resistant

The plywood is bonded with BWP-grade phenolic resin, ensuring resistance to water, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The surface film adds an additional layer of protection, making it ideal for humid or wet environments.

3. Reusability

One of the biggest advantages of Film Face Plywood is its reusability. Our boards can be used up to 25–30 times under standard conditions, and even more with proper care. This makes it a cost-effective solution for contractors and builders.

4. Smooth Finish

The film-coated surface allows for smooth concrete casting, reducing the need for finishing or surface touch-ups. It also reduces the chance of concrete sticking to the plywood, which helps extend the life of each sheet.

5. Anti-Termite & Anti-Fungal Treatment

Our boards are chemically treated to resist termites, borers, and fungal attacks, making them suitable for long-term usage in challenging environments.

6. Custom Thickness and Sizes

We manufacture Film Face Plywood in various sizes and thicknesses ranging from 12 mm to 25 mm, with standard sizes like 8’ x 4’ and customized dimensions available on request.

Applications of Film Face Plywood

Film Face Plywood is essential in various heavy-duty applications due to its structural strength and weather resistance. Here are some common uses:

1. Shuttering and Formwork

Its primary use is in shuttering work for casting concrete slabs, beams, columns, and walls. The smooth surface ensures perfect form and easy removal after the concrete sets.

2. Industrial Flooring

Due to its high load-bearing capacity and durability, Film Face Plywood is used in temporary industrial flooring, walkways, and platforms.

3. Bridges and Flyovers

Construction of bridges, highways, and infrastructure projects requires sturdy formwork materials. Film Face Plywood’s waterproof properties make it ideal for such applications.

4. Pre-Fabricated Structures

It is widely used in portable cabins, site offices, and prefabricated housing where strength and quick installation are required.

5. Container Flooring and Storage Racks

Heavy-duty storage units and cargo containers often use Film Face Plywood for their base flooring due to its resilience under heavy weight.
