What is JINGFANG® UPVC plastic formwork?

JINGFANG® UPVC plastic formwork is a new type of plastic formwork to substitute plywood formwork. It has same sizes and applications as plywood formwork, but can reuse ≥ 50 times in plain wooden structures.

Especially, it can match better with metal frame structure, with which it can be reused for much more times, as the metal system can provide good protection for formwork panels. 

Why do we use UPVC as the solo raw material? 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 plastic 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.

◆ Matching well with different structures

◆ Environmental friendly, non-plasticizer, formaldehyde-free

◆ Recyclable with extra returns

The 8 types of costs that JINGFANG® UPVC plastic formwork can save for your projects:

1. Reuse ≥ 50 times in plain wooden structures, much more in premium structures, saving formwork cost.

2. No need releasing oil, saving oil cost.

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

4. Easy to clean, mop with water is enough to clean the used UPVC plastic formwork, saving labor cost.

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

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

7. 100% recyclable. You can get extra benefit returns by re-sell the used UPVC plastic formworks to related industries.

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

How to install UPVC plastic formwork?

Tip 01: Nailing/screwing distance from the edges

UPVC plastic formwork has good nail-holding power, but to prolong the life-span of , we suggest to leave at least 3-5cm distance from the edge when nailing/screwing on it. 

Tip 02: Beam distance of UPVC plastic formwork 

For the beam distance, we usually suggest the same as the plywood formworks which you are using. And, it differs according to the frame structures and concrete thickness. The stronger structures, the shorter beam distance.

Tip 03: Nailing/screwing distance of UPVC plastic 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 UPVC plastic formwork

Same as the other formwork materila, 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 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.
