1. Poplar Core

Lightweight: The use of poplar wood for the core makes the plywood lightweight and easy to handle.
Consistent Quality: Poplar wood provides a uniform and stable core, ensuring consistent performance.

2. Film Coating

Protective Layer: The film overlay on both sides enhances the plywood’s resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.
Smooth Finish: The film provides a smooth surface that ensures a high-quality finish on concrete structures.

3. Durability

Weather Resistance: Resistant to various weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Reusable: Can be used multiple times in formwork applications, offering cost savings over single-use alternatives.

4. Cost-Effective

Affordable: One of the most economical options for shuttering plywood, making it accessible for various construction projects.
