Film-Faced Plywood

Phenolic-film panels that stand up to concrete, weather and heavy traffic — pour after pour.

Film-faced (laminated) plywood is overlaid with a dark-brown phenolic film that seals the panel against moisture and wear, adding strength and long service life.

F/F with film on both faces is built for concrete formwork; F/W, with a wire-mesh anti-slip face, is built for truck and trailer decking, ramps, stages and platforms.

Concrete formwork

Film-Faced Plywood F/F

Smooth phenolic film on both faces — the industry workhorse for concrete forming.

Both sides are overlaid with a glossy phenolic film. The panel is highly moisture-resistant, absorbs almost no water and is engineered for repeated use.

Built for cast-in-place concrete: wall and slab forms, columns, footings, elevator shafts and more. With proper handling and care, a panel typically delivers 30–70 pours.

Film-Faced Plywood F/W (Wire Mesh) — surface

Anti-slip flooring

Film-Faced Plywood F/W (Wire Mesh)

Smooth film on one side, slip-resistant wire-mesh film on the other.

One face carries a glossy phenolic film (F); the other is an anti-slip film embossed with a wire-mesh pattern (W). Highly moisture-resistant, minimal water absorption, built for heavy, repeated use.

The standard for transport decking — truck beds, trailers and semi-trailers — plus loading ramps, stages and platforms where footing matters.
