Ecoply® Formrite® is a high-quality plywood produced predominantly from graded pinus radiata veneers. Overlaid with a hard, resin-impregnated paper, Formrite has a smooth finish with a hard phenolic surface on the outer veneers, making it both re-usable and durable.
Glued with a phenol formaldehyde resin Type A marine bond glueline, Formrite can withstand the rigours of construction moisture and with the addition of a cross-laminate construction. It is also less likely to expand or contract when exposed to rain and temperature changes, making it an effective plywood formwork solution.
