FORM-PLY
Form-ply is made with a high-density overlay (HDO) of phenolic resin impregnated paper bonded to plywood. Form-ply is ideal for concrete formwork.
The overlay helps to protect the hardwood face veneer as well providing a sound surface for the poured concrete. The offer is manufactured to AS 6669 for Plywood - Formwork

ForestOne Formwork Solutions
A significant feature of Form-ply is the coating which prevents concrete adhering. The coating also protects face veneers and is moisture resistant.

Form-ply is used in formwork applications such as decks, retaining walls, pre-cast, and tilt-up panel construction, tableforms, shutters, and heavy civil engineering and mining applications.

Black Stallion F17
An imported Form-ply constructed from mixed species veneers with eucalyptus core veneers, a plantation hardwood face and phenolic overlay. F17 is ideal for general formwork use such as decks, retaining walls, bridges and culvert construction.

Birch F17
An imported formply made from Birch veneers, its multiply construction gives this very strong plywood less variation in properties parallel and perpendicular to the face grain, enhancing panel stability and utility. Birch F17 is overlaid with a durable resin impregnated paper to give the concrete a smooth finish.

Formply F11, F14, F17 and F27
ForestOne carries a range of locally sourced Formply in multiple stress grades produced predominantly from Pinus Radiata veneers. These are glued with phenolic resin and overlaid with a durable resin impregnated paper to give the concrete a smooth finish. The phenolic finish and high-quality outer veneers make these durable and reusable.

Note: With proper on-site care and installation a good quality off-form finish can be achieved. Refer AS3610.

Structural Plywood
Structural products differ from other products because they have predictable reliable load and/or engineering design values.

They also use structural adhesive systems that can withstand both long term static loading without deformation, and long-term exposure to moisture and heat. There are a range of stress grades, most commonly F8 or F11. Glueline and envelope treatments can be provided where longer lasting applications are required. They are also used as cost effective solutions in non-decorative applications.

Our Structural Plywood is sourced both locally and internationally to the standard AS/NZS2269.

Applications:
Formwork
Beams
Structures
Bracing
Sub-flooring
