Being specialized in developing, manufacturing and sales of PVC formwork, Shandong Jingfang is 100% confident being the most professional Chinese factory manufacturing this product, and the only Chinese factory who only uses 100% virgin & pure UPVC as raw material. 

We don't use the wood powder during production, thoroughly solve the brittle problem of traditional plastic formwork, is the real PVC formwork of reusing at least 50 times.

丨Definition: What is JINGFANG^® PVC formwork ？

JINGFANG® PVC formwork is a new type of plastic formwork material, which uses plastic-steel PVC as the only main raw material. 

It has same sizes and applications with plywood formwork, but much better performance.  

In plain wooden structure, it can be reused for ≥ 50 times. In premium structure which provides good protection to formwork panels, it can be reused for much more times.

What is UPVC? 

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. 

So it's environmental friendly, corrosion resistant, formaldehyde-free, has excellent UV resistance performance and outdoor ageing resistance, is widely applied to windows /doors frames, construction, food-grade piping, and industrial sewage pipe, etc.

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

Except UPVC, there are other different plastic formwork materials including general PVC, PP, ABS in the markets.

JINGFANG® UPVC plastic formwork adopts "Virgin & Pure UPVC" as the solo main raw material, which accounts for more than 95% (the rest 4~5% is for necessary additives), 

And we never add any recycled PVC/PP/ABS materials, can guarantee qualified strength, elasticity modulus and UV-resistance, thoroughly solve the deformation /cracking /bending problems of unqualified products.

Available Sizes and Thickness of PVC formwork

JINGFANG® PVC plastic formwork has the same sizes and applications as plywood formwork:

■ Width: up to 1300 mm 

■ Length: no limits 

■ Thickness: 6~21 mm 

■ Density: 700kg/m³±1% (standard), and the 600~900kg/m³ can be customized

■ Color: Turquoise Green/Azure blue (original), others can be customized, such as black, grey, etc.

■ Popular sizes: 4'x8', thickness 12mm/15mm/18mm. 

■ Others can be customized.

Characteristics and Advantages of PVC Formwork

1. Reuse 50+ times, saving much cost

JINGFANG^® PVC formwork can be reused for 50+times in plain wooden structures (left photo),  and much more times in premium metal structures (right photo). This means the lifespan of 1 piece of JINGFANG® PVC formwork equals to ≥ 5 ~ 10 pieces of plywood formwork.

2. Same sizes & applications as plywood formwork 

JINGFANG^® PVC formwork comes with the same sizes 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 using plywood formwork. 

No changes to the formwork structure and construction process.

3. No Special Tools and Learning Curve

JINGFANG^® PVC 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 formwork as the same way that they use conventional plywood formwork.

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

4. Never Delaminates

JINGFANG^® PVC 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 (such as throwing hardly frequently)   

5. Smooth Concrete Surface

Our mirror surface technology ensures JINGFANG^® PVC 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 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 formwork has excellent bending strength. You can curve it freely in your round formwork structure. Even in winter, our PVC panel maintains its elasticity in bending. Non-fragile.

8. Antiflaming

With special formula and technology, JINGFANG^® PVC formwork is anti-flaming. This effectively reduces the fire risk and limits the spread of fire.

If using plywood formwork, workers need to implement more additional fire precautions and protection measurements at site.

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

JINGFANG^® PVC 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 protection, including under the weather of raining, snowy, in Summer, or in Winter.

10. High Temperature Resistant and Freezing-thawing Resistant

JINGFANG^® PVC formwork has good resistance against temperature. 

It shows no shrinkage, bulge, cracking or any sign of deformation under -40℃ 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. We have customers in South Asia and Middle East countries, where it can work well under high temperature.

11. No Need Releasing Oil, Easily Releasing and Cleaning

With sustaining smooth surface and excellent hardness, JINGFANG^® PVC formwork doesn't stick concrete stubbornly, which ensures it to be easily leaned 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. Recyclable with Extra Returns

PVC is one of the most popular plastic materials in the world. It is easy to resell used JINGFANG^® PVC 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 formwork is made of PVC 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.

How to install/assemble PVC formwork?

Tip 01: Edge distance of nails/screws of PVC formwork

To prolong the life-span of PVC formwork, we suggest to leave at least 3-5cm distance from the edge when nailing/screwing on it. 

Tip 02: Beam distance of PVC formwork 

In general, we suggest the same beam distances as the plywood formworks which you are using. But, it differs a bit according to the frame structures and concrete thickness. The stronger structures, the shorter beam distance.

Tip 03: Nailing/screwing distance of PVC formwork

Same as the general requirements for all formwork materials, to ensure the average load-bearing capacity of the entire sheet, in addition to the appropriate props distance, we also recommend maintaining an average spacing of nails/screws, such as 30 cm. Especially the corners should be fixed well with nails/screws. Or you can keep the regular way that applied to your structures. 

Tip 04: Joint treatment of PVC formwork

If you want to avoid the concrete sticking into the joint, you can paint the joint. The regular painting is workable enough. Some of our clients use the gel coat.

Tip 05:  Repair the holes of PVC formwork nails or bolts 

For the nails holes: normally such holes don't leak concrete, so not necessary to fix it. If you have strict requirements, you can use glue or wax to cover them. 

For the bolt holes: plastic plug or adhesive tape. Another solution: normally the bolt holes of one single project have same diameters and locations. So some clients cut formworks sheets into small round pieces with 1mm smaller diameter, and then insert them into the bolt holes.
