What is film faced plywood？
Film faced plywood is a wood-based product that has a face or film on its surface (which is usually a thin layer of plastic). It is commonly used as an applied material for floors and floor systems in commercial buildings. Film faced plywood was also used extensively in the construction of aircraft before the use of composites became widespread for these applications. In some parts of Europe, film faced plywood has gained popularity as an alternative to plywood in the construction industry due its high resistance to moisture and mold. Has a thin film of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bonded to it. The film provides an added layer of protection against moisture, insects, and other contaminants. The PVC provides a smooth surface that is easy to clean and maintain, while still being resistant to wear and tear.
Film faced plywood, also called formwork plywood, shuttering plywood or marine plywood, is a specially designed product for use in construction applications.It has a black or brown film coating on one side and is overlaid with phenolic resin impregnated paper on the other. The film coating and the phenolic resin impregnated paper are applied to give the board durability in wet conditions and resistance to a range of chemicals.
