Deck Grey Plywood

Deck Grey Plywood

New generation of film faced plywood for concrete formwork

Description

Film faced plywood Deck Grey is manufactured on the basis of Exterior birch plywood overlaid with film made of high-density paper, impregnated with phenol-formaldehyde resin, the edges are sealed with acrylic paint. Wear resistance according to Taber test is 400-450 rounds.

Deck Grey has a set of features improved in comparison with standard film faced plywood:

  • Twice higher water-resistance indicators
  • UV and chemical resistance
  • No risk of staining the concrete surface
  • Better colour stability
  • Twice lower level of formaldehyde emission

The main area of Deck Grey application is construction. The surface of the plywood board matches the concrete colour, which makes it perfect for concrete formwork. The surface of the concrete after casting has a more attractive “architectural” appearance.

Applications

  • Concrete formworks

    Thanks to being light and durable material with good strength properties, film faced birch plywood is irreplaceable for concrete formworks. High resistance to abrasion of film-faced plywood is approved by Taber Test.
