Highly Reusable Waterproof Durable Plastic PVC Formwork for Concrete Construction
Highly Reusable Waterproof Durable Plastic PVC Formwork for Concrete Construction
Detail Information
PVC FORMWORK
PVC formwork is a versatile and durable construction solution made from high-quality PVC material with added strength-enhancing additives. Its lightweight yet robust design makes it an excellent alternative to traditional materials like plywood and metal for creating temporary molds or frameworks for pouring concrete. UV stabilized to withstand sun exposure, our PVC formwork is resistant to moisture and chemicals, ensuring long-term performance without warping or corrosion. With a smooth surface finish for easy concrete release and reduced labor costs, it is ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

Shape Types
Flat PVC Formwork
Our Flat PVC Formwork is engineered to deliver smooth, even concrete surfaces, making it an excellent choice for various construction applications. It offers a robust and durable solution, ensuring reliability throughout the concrete pouring process. The flat design guarantees consistent and accurate casting, making it a preferred option for builders and contractors who require precision and uniformity in their projects.
Curved PVC Formwork
Designed for applications requiring curved concrete surfaces, our Curved PVC Formwork provides both flexibility and strength. It is ideal for creating smooth, precise curves in concrete structures. This formwork is particularly suited for architectural designs, bridges, tunnels, and any project that demands curved surfaces, offering the necessary flexibility to meet these specialized construction needs.
PVC VS Plywood Formwork
PVC Formwork
PVC Formwork is a modern solution designed to produce a superior concrete finish. Made from high-quality PVC, this formwork ensures that the concrete surface is smooth, glossy, and aesthetically pleasing right after demolding. It significantly reduces the need for post-demolding treatments, and its durability offers substantial cost savings over time.
Superior Finish: Produces a smooth and glossy concrete surface. Durability: Can be reused up to 30 times, offering excellent longevity.
Efficiency: Reduces labor costs and time for post-demolding treatments.
Cost-Effective: Higher initial cost is offset by long-term savings due to its reusability.
Initial Cost: Higher upfront investment compared to plywood formwork.
Advantages:
Limitations:
Plywood Formwork
Plywood Formwork is a traditional and widely used formwork in concrete construction. It is made from layers of wood veneer bonded together, providing a strong and flexible structure for shaping concrete. While cost-effective and relatively easy to use, plywood formwork has limitations in terms of durability and surface finish quality.
Cost-Effective: Initial investment is relatively low.
Ease of Use: Simple to set up and install.
Versatility: Can be used for a variety of shapes and sizes.
Durability: Typically lasts for 6-8 uses before becoming damaged or cracked.
Surface Finish: Concrete surface may show irregularities, requiring additional finishing.
Environmental Impact: Shorter lifespan means more frequent replacement and waste.
Advantages:
Limitations:
Concrete Surface after Removal of PVC Formwork
The surface is smooth, glossy, and visually appealing, eliminating the need for further finishing treatments. High-Gloss PVC formwork can be reused up to 30 times, providing excellent durability and cost efficiency.
Concrete Surface after Removal of Plywood Formwork
The surface shows irregularities and requires additional finishing such as plastering or painting to achieve a smooth and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Plywood formwork typically lasts for 6-8 uses before becoming damaged.
Comparing the two surfaces, it is evident that the Plywood Formwork leaves the concrete wall with imperfections, necessitating additional work to achieve the desired finish. In contrast, the PVC Formwork produces a near-perfect surface directly after demolding. However, achieving such a high-quality finish also depends significantly on the type of concrete used. The combination of PVC Formwork and the appropriate concrete mixture ensures the best results, providing a smooth, glossy surface that is ready for immediate use without further treatments.
