Film faced plywood ( F/F) is made on the basis of FSF plywood.
Thanks to the lining of the film, plywood acquires additional water resistance, protection from mechanical damage, aggressive chemical reagents, alkalis, acids.
Therefore it is also used as flooring in construction and mechanical engineering.
The surface of the boards can be washed with cold and warm water.
The advantages of Film faced plywood:
- Water resistance; Increased protection against mechanical damage and aggressive chemical elements; Environmentally friendly; Reusable.
Transportation, Loading and Unloading | |
Protect plywood from moisture during transportation. | ![]() |
Do not push the packs of plywood with loader pitchforks. | ![]() |
Avoid damaging the packs and breaking the package tapes. | ![]() |
Remove sheets of plywood from the packs manually. | ![]() |
Storage | |
Store plywood in a closed space. | ![]() |
Plywood should be stored in a horizontal position, in the packs on pallets, wooden strips or wooden barspads (thickness – not less than 50 mm, length – not less than the width of a pack, without overhanging). | ![]() |
During long-term storage, cut or remove all package tapes. This will prevent appearance of marks on the top and bottom sheets of the packs. | ![]() |
If plywood is temporarily stored outdoors, cover it with an waterproof material. Protect flat ends from moisture. Pallets, wooden strips or wooden bars’ pads must be dry to avoid leaving marks on the film. | ![]() |
If plywood gets wet, let it dry naturally. | ![]() |
Processing and use | |
When cutting plywood, protect flat ends with paint. We recommend using acrylic paint or a sealant to prevent penetration of moisture (swelling). | ![]() |
Fill all holes, made in the course of installation works, with a silicone-based adhesive to prevent penetration of moisture (swelling). | ![]() |
Avoid dropping plywood and dragging it on the ground. | ![]() |
After the formwork is dismantled, inspect the plywood. Remove any excess concrete. Do not use severely deformed sheets for further works. If damages are minor, use the sheets for non-standard elements. | ![]() |
Plywood sheets, that are used for formwork assembly on upper floors, should be lifted with a crane. | ![]() |
