Poliform Plywood
Riga Poliform - Birch plywood core overlaid on both faces with a special composite material, that is ecologically safe and recyclable.
Produces a superior appearance to the concrete surface and when properly used the manufacturer estimates up to 300 uses when correctly installed. Heavy duty formwork plywood.
- Tough and impact resistant surface for smooth concrete finish
- No rippling
- As many as 300 reuses when correctly installed
- Recycled wood fibres utilised in the wood-plastic overlay
- Water resistant surface and weather resistant gluing
- Surface is resistant to commonly used concrete release agents, diluted acids and alkalis, easy to clean with water or steam for repeated uses
- Special solutions are available for applications requiring a higher surface elasticity such as nailing
- Easy to machine and fix on site
- Variety of standard sizes, cut-to-size and jointed panels available
- Sustainable product with long life-span
- The wood-plastic composite coating offers a highly durable, hard and dense surface, increasing panel resistance against mechanical damage and wearing.
- It resists concrete release agents, cement alkalis and other corrosive chemicals.
- The panels can be used within a temperature range from −40 °C up to +80 °C.
- Cold temperatures can reduce WPC flexibility making it less suitable for nailing.
- After use, panels release well and maintain their performance for a long time.
- Surface hardness (Shore D Durometer) for WPC SP >72 HD; WPC SP2 >62 HD
- Taber test (EN 438-2) up to 17,000 revolutions
