• Film-Faced Birch Plywood Characteristic
  European birch plywood, known as Finnish plywood, is a premium architectural plywood made with birch plywood as the base material and processed with surface film coating. The bottom layer of each panel is hot-pressed with layers of phenolic resin film for protection, increasing its durability against repeated concrete casting and outdoor exposure to sunlight and rain. It boasts excellent flatness, high reusability, and easy-to-clean surface after demoulding, effectively reducing the need for remodelling and associated costs.
  
  The base material of Finnish plywood is birch plywood sourced from high-latitude regions in Europe. It is bonded with weather-resistant and boil-proof (WBP) phenolic resin adhesive, ensuring excellent load-bearing capacity and stability.
  
  Phenolic Resin Coating
  The surface of European birch plywood is coated with phenolic resin film, providing protection against wear and tear, moisture, and durability. Phenolic resin exhibits excellent heat resistance, water resistance, and insulation properties, making it highly suitable for concrete formwork applications. The use of phenolic film-coated plywood results in high abrasion resistance and moisture resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  
  Moisture Resistance and Weatherability
  The bottom layer of Finnish plywood is covered with phenolic resin film, along with edge waterproof paint, reducing wear and tear during repeated concrete casting and enhancing its resistance to outdoor exposure to sunlight and rain.
  
  High Reusability
  When used as concrete formwork, the phenolic resin-coated surface facilitates easy cleaning and prevents sticking, effectively reducing the need for remodelling and associated costs. European manufacturers produce film-coated plywood according to technical specifications, allowing for over 50 times of reuse during concrete remodelling.
