New 220 gsm film FFP — 15+ concrete pour applications now standard

We have added a 220 gsm Dynea brown film to our film-faced plywood (FFP) line. Under controlled test it passes 15+ concrete pours — a meaningful jump for high-rise formwork contractors who want fewer panel changeouts on a long pour schedule.

Why heavier film means more pours

The phenolic film is what protects the panel face from the alkalinity and abrasion of wet concrete. A heavier film — 220 g/m² versus the standard 120–150 g/m² — gives a thicker, tougher barrier, so the face survives more pour-strip-clean cycles before it degrades. For repeat formwork that lowers the cost per pour even though the panel costs more up front.

Where it fits

• High-rise cores and columns: long, repetitive pour schedules where changing panels mid-project is costly.
• Precast yards: controlled, repeated use where surface finish must stay consistent.
• Infrastructure: bridge and tunnel pours that demand a clean concrete finish over many cycles.

Availability

The 220 gsm FFP is available now with a 5-day extended lead time over our standard 120/150 gsm panels, in 18 mm as standard and other thicknesses on order. See the film-faced plywood specs or request a quote with "220 gsm" noted and we will work the reuse economics for your pour schedule.
