Also referred to as construction plywood or formwork plywood, it is a specific type of plywood that is purposefully created to serve as formwork for pouring concrete. The plywood is made by bonding multiple thin layers of wood veneers with a waterproof adhesive and then coated with a phenolic film. This overlaying process results in a smooth, durable surface that can resist water and wear. The phenolic film on the plywood gives it its name, “film face” plywood. This type of plywood is a cost-effective option for concrete formwork due to its strength, durability, and reusability.
