Definition and brief introduction of PVC plastic concrete formwork

What is PVC plastic concrete formwork? ---A new formwork product, new type of plastic formwork material.

PVC plastic concrete formwork is made of Virgin & Pure UPVC only, which was created by 10+ years ago, under the background of civil engineering worldwide trend "replacing wood with plastic", is a good choice to substitute the traditional formwork materials, and can greatly save the forest sources. 

Compared with traditional wood/plywood formworks, the biggest advantage is that it can be reused for 50+ times in plain wooden structures, and much more times in metal frames which can offer good protection to formwork edges.

Compared with steel/aluminum formworks, its advantage is that it's lightweight, and is flexible to cut into any dimensions. 

Besides, it's waterproof, anti-flaming, 100% recyclable, and no need releasing oil, etc. Recently several years, it's being well-known by tens of countries.

Specifications of PVC plastic concrete formwork:

The most popular sizes of PVC plastic concrete formwork are 4'x8'x12/15/18mm, which are similar to plywood/timer formworks. Details as following:

The costs can save with PVC plastic concrete formwork:

With PVC plastic formwork, you can save much costs and get extra benefit returns:

◆ Reuse ≥ 50 times in plain wooden structures, much more in metal frames, saving formwork cost.

◆ No need releasing oil, saving oil cost.

◆ Doesn't stick much concrete, saving cleaning and labor cost.

◆ Easy to clean, mop with water is enough to clean the used PVC formwork, saving labor cost.

◆ Foaming technology and excellent surafce hardness, never delaminates, saving formwork cost.

◆ Antiflaming, Waterproof, UV resistant, Alkali / Chemical resistant, Moisture resistant, saving curing cost.

◆ 100% recyclable. You can get extra benefit returns by re-sell the used PVC formworks to related industries.

◆ Smoothness and hardness ensure the constant and uniform project quality from the first to top floor, brings you more projects.

Characteristics and advantagesof PVC plastic concrete formwork:

1. Reuse 50+ times, saving much project costs

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork can be reused ≥50 times in plain wooden structures,  and much more times in metal frames. This means the lifespan of 1 piece of JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork equals to ≥ 5~10 pieces of plywood formwork.

2. Same dimensions & applications as plywood formworks 

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork has the same dimensions and applications as conventional plywood formwork, including for wall, slab, column, stairs, tunnel, bridge, etc. 

Its usage in preparing, handling, installation and assembly are same as plywood formwork. No changes to the formwork structure and construction process.

3. No need special tools and trainings

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork has excellent screw holding strength, can be freely saw, cut, drill, nail, and shaped into any sizes as desired.  

Workers may prepare the JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork as the same way that they use conventional plywood formwork. 

No additional trainings or special tools required for workers to handle the product.

4. Uniform foaming technology, never delaminates

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork adopts the foaming technology, not layerinng or laminating. It will never delaminate even after reusing 50+ times. So it can be reused continually unless it is badly cracked by violent construction.

5. Smooth concrete surface, guarantee project quality

Our mirror surface technology ensures JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork smooth surface, and is able to maintain its smoothness even after reusing for 50+ times. This helps ensuring all the wall surface in uniform smoothness across first to top floor.

6. High Load-bearing Capacity

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork has good surface hardness with excellent strength in during high impact. This is another important reason why it can be reused 50+ times in a plain wood support structure.  

7. High Bending Strength and Elasticity 

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork has excellent bending strength. You can curve it freely in your round formwork structure.

Even in winter, JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formworkmaintains its elasticity in bending. Non-fragile.

8. Anti-flaming, avoiding hidden safety hazards

With pure UPVC as the only main material which accounts for over 95%, JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork is anti-flaming without hidden safety hazards. 

This effectively reduces the fire risk and limits the spread of fire.

9. Weatherproof, UV resistant, Chemical Resistant Against Harsh Environment

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork is 100% waterproof, UV resistant, chemical/acid/alkali resistant.

So it is durable enough to be used, stored or placed at outdoor environment without the need of any extra protection, including under the weather of raining, snowy, in Summer or Winter.

10. High Temperature Resistant and Freezing-thawing Resistant

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork has good resistance against temperature. 

It shows no shrinkage, bulge, cracking or any sign of deformation under -25℃ to +70℃. Actually, it can hold 200+℃, which is the temperature of  the manufacturing process.

Non-fragile in Winter. You can put it outside without special curing in snowy weather. 

11. No Need Releasing Oil, Easily Releasing and Cleaning 

With sustaining smooth surface and excellent hardness, JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork doesn't stick concrete stubbornly, which ensures it to be easily cleaned with water+mop.

No releasing agent or oil is required before and during concrete demoulding process. Easily cleaning.

Easily demoulded by hands, leaving the wall surface smooth and glossy without the need of secondary plastering.

12. 100% Recyclable with Extra Returns

UPVC is one of the most popular plastic materials in the world. It is easy to resell the used JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork to related plastic industries, with higher returns than used plywood formwork. Such as PVC tubes, plastic furniture, cabinet, box, etc.

For full sizes, you can reuse them continually or rent out to other projects;

For small parts, you can can re-sell them to related industries. 

13. Environment friendly

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork is made of UPVC material only, never add any wood powder. It adopts foaming technology, not layer or laminated, no any glue is used in manufacturing. 

So it is environment friendly, doesn't discharge any infectant or toxic gas. It is in accordance with environmental trend of the earth.

Raw material of JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork: Virgin & Pure UPVC

JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork adopt "Virgin & Pure UPVC" as the solo main raw material, which accounts for more than 95% (the rest 4~5% is for necessary additives), never add any recycled PVC/PP/ABS materials, so can guarantee the  qualified strength, elasticity modulus and UV-resistance of JINGFANG® PVC plastic concrete formwork, thoroughly solve the deformation/cracking /bending problems of unqualified PVC plastic concrete formworks.

Since 10+ years ago, UPVC has been proved to be the most qualified and the optimal raw material selection for PVC formwork. This is a well-known point in this industry by almost manufacturers.

UPVC, the full name is Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, is also named Plastic Steel, or PVC-U.  It is the upgrading of general PVC that removes plasticizers to achieve better engineering properties, so as to retain the rigid chain structure, and increase the strength.

It strictly adheres to the "Three-No-addition" principle: no plasticizers, no heavy metal stabilizers, no calcium carbonate fillers. Therefore, it 's environmental friendly, corrosion resistant, formaldehyde-free, has excellent UV resistance performance and outdoor ageing resistance.

Shandong Jingfang Import and Export Co., Ltd. is the only factory who persistly adopt "Virgin & Pure UPVC" as the solo main raw material to manufacture PVC plastic concrete formwork all along.

Compared with general PVC, UPVC has the following advantages:

1. Higher strength.

2. Better UV resistance and temperature resistance.

3. Environmental, no plasticizers, no heavy metal stabilizers, formaldehyde-free.

4. Higher resin purity.

5. Over 4 times better outdoor anti-aging performance than general PVC.

■ Virgin & pure UPVC as the solo main raw material

■ 10+ years manufacturing and export experience

■ Strict QC every 1-2 hours during manufacturing
