Film Faced Plywood FAQ
What is the main advantage of birch core over poplar core?
Birch core is significantly denser and stronger than poplar, providing greater resistance to impact and wear. This translates to a higher number of reuses and better performance in demanding applications, making it more cost-effective in the long run.
How should I properly clean and maintain Film Faced Plywood?
After each use, clean panels with a high-pressure water jet to remove concrete residue. Store them flat on a level, dry surface away from direct sunlight. Applying a specialized formwork release oil before each pour will further protect the film and enhance its lifespan.
Can Degen Film Faced Plywood be used for curved surfaces?
While it is a rigid panel, thinner gauges (like 9mm or 12mm) can be used for slight curves. However, for tightly curved structures, specialized bendy plywood is recommended. Always consult technical guidelines for specific applications.
