Core Material

FINGER JOINT /SKYPLEX

COMBI CORE/CHANTAPLEX

FULL BIRCH CORE

Finger Joint Core Film Faced Plywood is crafted from small wood segments precisely bonded together through interlocking finger joints.

This engineered design improves overall strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to warping or cracking. With its enhanced structural integrity, finger joint core plywood is well-suited for demanding applications such as construction, flooring, and furniture production.

Combi Core Film Faced Plywood is manufactured using lightweight, straight-grained poplar wood. It offers excellent stability, easy workability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a practical choice for a wide range of uses.

Thanks to its balance of strength and affordability, combi core plywood is widely applied in interior projects such as cabinetry, paneling, and decorative finishes where reduced weight and budget considerations are key.

Full Birch Core Film Faced Plywood is produced from fast-growing birch or eucalyptus, both recognized for their superior strength and durability.

This high-quality plywood delivers excellent dimensional stability, moisture resistance, and exceptional load-bearing capacity. Because of these properties, full birch core plywood is widely used in demanding outdoor and marine applications such as boat building, exterior construction, and large-scale infrastructure projects.

Film types

Black Film

Brown Film

Red Film

Anti slip film

Film faced plywood is coated with an opaque film made from kraft paper impregnated with melamine or phenolic resin. This protective layer enhances durability by making the plywood more waterproof, flame-retardant, and wear-resistant. Common brands include generic films or the Taier brand, with color options such as black, brown, red, or green. Both OEM and ODM services are available.

Glue Types

WBP Glue (Weather & Boil Proof)
- Offers excellent resistance to water and moisture.
- Can withstand boiling water, ensuring long-lasting adhesion in high-moisture environments.
- Widely used in manufacturing film faced plywood, outdoor plywood, and other water-resistant wood products.
MR Glue (Moisture Resistant)
- More economical than WBP glue.
- Suitable for indoor or smaller-scale projects where exposure to water is limited.

Applications in Construction & Beyond

Construction Use – Formwork & Shuttering
Film faced plywood is primarily used in construction for concrete formwork, shuttering panels, and templates. Due to its exposure to water during concrete pouring, WBP glue plywood is preferred for structural and large-scale projects, while MR glue plywood serves as a cost-effective option for lighter applications.
Anti-Slip Flooring – Vehicles & Work Platforms
With surface options in smooth or anti-slip textures, film faced plywood is ideal for truck and trailer flooring, scaffolding platforms, and other work surfaces, ensuring added safety and durability.
Furniture & Storage
The tough film coating makes it suitable for shelves, storage racks, and heavy-duty furniture. Compared to standard veneer plywood, it offers superior resistance to wear, impact, and moisture, extending product life.

FAQ Frequently Ask Question

We know customers often have questions about plywood grades, thickness options, sizes, certifications, and applications. Our FAQ section offers clear, straightforward answers, making it easier for you to select the right plywood with confidence.

1. What exactly is film faced plywood?

Film faced plywood is a type of engineered plywood covered with a resin-treated film. The film gives the board a smooth surface and makes it resistant to moisture, abrasion, and chemicals—ideal for use in concrete formwork and outdoor applications.

2. Can this plywood handle wet or humid conditions?

Yes, film faced plywood offers strong water resistance. Manufacturers apply a waterproof film to the surface and use WBP glue between layers. While it is not 100 % waterproof like plastic, it holds up well in wet environments when properly sealed.

3. Where do builders usually use this material?

Builders mainly use film faced plywood for concrete formwork in construction. The smooth, durable surface prevents concrete from sticking, allowing multiple reuses. It’s also used in flooring, scaffolding, truck beds, and outdoor furniture frames.

4. How many times can a single panel be reused?

It depends on quality and handling, but high-grade film faced plywood can be reused up to 10–15 times in concrete pouring projects. Proper cleaning and storage between uses will extend its lifespan.
