Concrete Form Plywood

The overlay is a phenolic, resin-impregnated cellulose fibre sheet, which is bonded to the face of a plywood panel under high heat and pressure, forming a hard, durable and smooth surface. Providing enhanced resistance to the high pressure and wet service conditions of concrete construction, overlaid plywood is used primarily for concrete forming in high-rise and residential construction, sports complexes and highway infrastructure.

Overlaid panels provide a smoother concrete surface and more re-uses than standard panels. Re-use potential and fineness of concrete finish increase with the density of the overlay, which is usually categorized as either Medium Density Overlay (MDO) or High Density Overlay (HDO).

Interex markets overlaid plywood, manufactured by Ainsworth^® under the trade names "Pourform-107^®" and "Pourform-HDO^®". Pourform^® is used worldwide and enjoys the largest market share for concrete forming panels in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Both products are designed to provide exceptional strength, rigidity and dimensional stability with maximum re-use and superior finish. Pourform-HDO provides the finest architectural finish - a uniform and glossy concrete appearance.
