Film-faced plywood, also known as veneered plywood or faced panels, is a high-performance composite material created by bonding high-quality wood cores with surface films through professional processes. In its manufacturing process, wood such as poplar, eucalyptus, and birch is commonly used as the core material. The process involves cutting, drying, and assembling the wood into slabs, followed by hot-pressing functional films, such as melamine-impregnated paper or phenolic resin films, onto the surface. The four edges of the panel are sealed with waterproof paint, resulting in a composite material that combines aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.

Introduction to Film-faced plywood

1.Film-faced plywood is an engineered plywood covered with a resin-treated film. It has a smooth surface and features moisture resistance, wear resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, making it suitable for concrete formwork and outdoor scenarios. Its surface is covered with a waterproof film, and WBP glue is used between layers. Though not 100% waterproof, it can maintain good waterproof performance in humid environments when properly sealed.

2.In construction, it is mainly used as concrete formwork. Its smooth and durable surface can prevent concrete from sticking, allowing for repeated use. High-grade products can be reused up to 10-15 times in concrete pouring projects, and proper cleaning and storage after each use can extend their service life. Additionally, it can be used for making floors, scaffolding, truck bodies, and outdoor furniture frames.

3.The common thickness ranges from 9mm to 21mm, with 18mm being the most widely used in the construction industry. Thicker panels can provide higher strength and support for heavy-duty applications such as formwork and floors.

Main Core Material

Film-faced plywood mainly offers four types of core materials: poplar core, eucalyptus core, birch core, or spliced core, based on differences in wood grain, hardness, and customers’ personalized needs. In addition, the color and texture of the surface lamination are adjusted according to different environmental requirements, functional purposes, and application scenarios to ensure that various needs are met.

Features of High-quality Film-faced Plywood

  • Easy to cut, fix and clean
  • Fully sealed waterproof edges
  • Weather and boil resistant
  • Termite proof
  • Smooth finish after concrete casting
  • Multiple reuses available
  • Lightweight for easy on-site handling
  • Good alkali corrosion resistance

Film-faced plywood Veneer Species

Finger Joint core film faced plywood
Finger joint and joint core has the same category, they considered a cheap plywood that used in this industry, its produced from recycle plywood or film plys, to be treated later by removing the old film with sanding, then fix the edge and surface, last activity is after attaching new fresh core from both sides is hot pressing a new film.
Anti-slip plywood
The main usage of the antislip plywood in floor, construction and manufacturing, in some cases used for repairing the vehicles or flights. the type of anti slip surface are wire mesh, Hexagonal and dotted. The overlay is a phenolic film, rigid, wear-resistant and extremely durable.
Film Faced Plywood

It’s manufactured from wood veneers glued with synthetic adhesives and both sides of the plywood are coated with an opaque phenolic film overlay. The phenolic coated film is often referred as plastic film.The plywood are suitable for multiple uses, easy to clean and cut, and widely used by construction companies.

WBP Phenolic Plywood
Phenolic template is a kind of building template made by bonding veneers with phenolic resin adhesive, hot-pressing and surface treatment. It has the characteristics of high strength, water and corrosion resistance, and smooth surface, and is widely used in high-rise buildings, bridges, water conservancy and other projects. Although its cost is relatively high, it has a large number of turnover times and high construction efficiency.
