Bamboo Shuttering Plywood
Bamboo shuttering plywood is made of bamboo woven-mats, bamboo curtains, bamboo strips or a few of wooden veneers, which are glued and then pressed under high temperature and high pressure. The production process of bamboo plywood are similar but different to the production process of common plywood made of wood.

Bamboo is a kind of very hard material, so bamboo plywood is of higher strength than common plywood . Bamboo plywoods are widely used as shuttering plywood, trucks & cars floors, packing materials.

In China, construction companies use two kinds of shuttering plywood, one is poplar shuttering plywood , the other is bamboo shuttering plywood . Bamboo shuttering plywood is expensive . So bamboo plywood is usually used for big construction projects . Bamboo shuttering plywood can be used for more times than poplar plywood.
 
There are three kinds of bamboo shuttering plywood for different projects.

Bamboo throughout plywood

1.Bamboo throughout plywood (Concrete Form)

Face/back are treated with film (or glue). The pattern of bamboo woven-mats of the core can be seen . Bamboo throughout plywood is widely used in China.

Film(Coating): Red or Brown or black mat film faced for the option
Edge Treatment: Red, green or other color arcylic paint in order to against moisture

This type plywood are widely used for trailer or container flooring.

Bamboo film faced plywood

2.Bamboo film faced plywood (Concrete Form)

combi core (the first & last core layers are poplar veneers, other core layers are bamboo), face/back covered with film. The combi bamboo film faced plywood looks beautiful.
Application: Bamboo concrete form used in Concrete bridge/girder/tunnel special, also for the construction building
Base Material: bamboo & poplar
Layers: 5-11 layers in bamboo
Bonding Glue:WBP (phenolic glue)
Film(Coating): Brown,Black for the option
Surface Type: Smooth(surface covered with poplar and special film paper)
Edge Treatment: Red,green or other color arcylic paint in order to against moisture

Use time: 20-50 times(Use time is based on handing,environment,maintenance and systems)


Plain bamboo plywood

3.Plain bamboo plywood

We also call it unfilm faced bamboo plywood. core plies are all bamboo like the first kind of bamboo plywood, but the face/back have not been treated . The quality is still high . Chinese construction companies also like to use plain bamboo plywood. 

Judging from the picture, is the face/back not smooth. But in fact the appearance is smooth because the face/back have been well sanded . It’s widely used for concrete construction building, middle projects.

Base Material: bamboo
Bonding Glue: WBP (phenolic glue)
Film(Coating): Non-film
Surface Type:  Mat.
Core of board: Thick patch (5-11 layers)
Edge Treatment: Red,green or other color arcylic paint in order to against moisture
Thickness: 9mm,12mm,15mm,18mm,21mm,25mm,28mm,30mm or customsized (+-0.5mm)
Size: 1220*2440mm,1250*2500mm,1000*2000mm (+-1mm)
Density: ≥750KG/M3
Use time: 10-20 times

This unfilm bamboo plywood are also widly used for train, trailer’s decking and flooring.

Technical Data

Thickness and layers

Remarks:

1)Number of plies means the number of bamboo curtains (weaved bamboo strips) in use.

2)A thickness off set will only be applicable if the twice forming production process is not used.

3)Twice forming is a process that ensures an accurate thickness.
