What is PVC Wall Formwork

PVC wall formwork, a kind of new plastic formwork materials which is made of Virgin & Pure UPVC only, is a good choice to substitute the traditional plywood/wood/aluminum/steel formworks.

It was created by 10+ years ago, under the background of civil engineering worldwide trend "replacing wood with plastic", can greatly save the forest sources. 

Compared with traditional wood/plywood formworks, the biggest advantage is that PVC wall formwork 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 PVC wall formwork is 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.

Essential Parameters of PVC wall formwork:

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

How to distinguish PVC wall formwork and PVC/WPC foam board?

There are huge differences between PVC wall formwork and WPC/PVC foam boards. This is a very important point. So detailed explanations are necessary. 

01. Different raw materials and costs.

To save costs, WPC/PVC foam board are manufactured with over 60% or even 80% calcium powder, and much wood powder. Some suppliers even use the recycled PVC. Therefore, WPC/PVC foam board has much lower costs than PVC wall formwork.

02. Different applications.

WPC/PVC foam board are mainly applied for the fields which don't has strict requirements for strength/nails-hold powder, such as adverting, furniturs, decorations, etc. But it isn't strong enough for construction formworks.

03. Different product performances.

Compared with PVC wall formwork, WPC/PVC foam board has lower strength/hardness/nail-holding powder/flexibility. It easily gets cracking when applying to shuttering. Therefore, it is not a formwork material. Don't be misleaded.

04. Different machines and manufacturing processes.

It is impossible to manufacture qualified PVC wall formwork by the WPC/PVC foam board machines: can't get qualified surface crust, density, and strength.

So, if one supplier manufactures both products by the same machine, then there is no doubt that: their PVC wall formwork is unqualified. Every field has its master.

Unique Raw Material of JINGFANG® PVC wall formwork: Virgin & Pure UPVC

JINGFANG® PVC wall 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 wall formwork, thoroughly solve the deformation/cracking /bending problems of unqualified PVC wall formworks.

Since 10+ years ago, UPVC has been proved to be the most qualified and the optimal raw material selection for PVC wall 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 wall 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.

Why Choose JINGFANG® PVC Wall Formwork: 

Unique advantages No. 1:  Using UPVC as the solo main raw material.

From the first year when our factory established until today, JINGFANG® PVC wall formwork for concrete throughout perseveringly uses the "new & pure UPVC" as the solo main raw material of our product. This brings us high manufacturing cost, but also premium quality and sustaining good markets feedback. 

There are 2 types of UPVC raw materials: white color and colored.

Unique advantages No. 2:  Qualified UV resistance.

JINGFANG® PVC wall formwork for concrete guarantees as following:

1) If putting it directly under sunshine, we guarantee no S shape or big U shape deformation .

2) If nailing it onto strips or supports, we guarantee no any warping. 

Only qualified raw material and formula can offer you this guarantee.

Unique advantages No. 3:  Qualified elasticity modulus.

The elasticity modulus is one of the most important parameters of concrete formwork, which influences quantity of props and project quality. Benefits from the good purity and qualified rigidity of our raw material, JINGFANG® PVC wall formwork for concrete guarantees qualified elasticity modulus. 

Unique advantages No. 4:  No any recycled PVC/PP/ABS materials.

JINGFANG® PVC wall formwork for concrete guarantees: the main raw material "New & Pure UPVC" accounts over 95% among the components (the rest 4~5% is for necessary additives). This is one of the key reasons why we can strictly control the density tolerance to be within ±0.5%.

Unique advantages No. 5: Strict & accurate quality control.

Every 1-2 hours, we strictly check the density and weight to avoid raw material problems and guarantee the stable density. And we clearly mark the accurate density and thickness error in quotation sheet. We are not that kinds of suppliers who blur these two important specifications. Our QC is as following:

1) Dimension tolerance: Thickness ≤0.1mm;  Diagonal ≤3mm

2) Density tolerance: g/cm³±0.5%

Unique advantages No. 6: Uniform foaming.

The uniform foaming is another important guarantee for product quality, which guarantees stable and average strength of the full sheet. To get uniform foaming, strictly controlled manufacturing speed and qualified raw materials are both necessary. Some other manufacturers fasten the speed to lower cost.  

Unique advantages No. 7: Qualified nails-holding power.

Even you nail it by the edge with less than 2cm distance, JINGFANG® PVC wall formwork for concrete can still hold the nails well without cracking. This profits from the qualified raw material, which brings excellent toughness and rigidity.

Unique advantages No. 8: Strong export packages.

With years' experience and feedback, we have settled down the strong packing for export:

1. New non-fumigation pallets made of 18mm plywood sheets: we use new materials to make pallets, not recycled. One pallet can hold 4 tons weight.

2. Plywood sheets to protect all the outside.

3. Steel strips to fix the package. 

4. Metal corners to avoid the belt scratches.

5. Vertical packages use 2 pallets to protect the sheets from tilting.

6. Reinforce the last row with fastening ropes, to avoid the pallets moving during transportation.
