Applications FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding board selection, reuse cycles, technical parameters, and global delivery.
Depending on jobsite practices, handling care, and stripping discipline, boards achieve between 40 and 80+ concrete pours. This is a field-observed operational range under proper maintenance rather than an unconditional guarantee.
Thickness alone does not determine full suitability. Polymer structure, fresh concrete hydrostatic pressure, support joist spacing, and framing connections must be evaluated within a proper formwork design.
They describe the internal cross-sectional geometry of the board. Honeycomb and cellular structures provide lightweight handling, while solid core boards offer different deflection and impact dynamics.
Yes, they can be easily cut using standard circular saws or hand woodworking tools. Using a blade with appropriate teeth ensures clean, burr-free edges.
It is a widely used commercial term for polymer sheets used as concrete formwork facing. When evaluating the product, the polymer type (PP or PVC), internal cross-section, dimensions, and manufacturer instructions must be assessed together.
The polymer name alone is not a sufficient selection criterion. Internal cross-section (solid, honeycomb, or fluted), weight, test certificates, jobsite temperature ranges, and pricing must all be evaluated together.
