Hollow-Core Cross-Section
Internal PP (polypropylene) ribbing keeps panels lightweight and rigid while cutting material weight.
On-Site Wall Formwork
Panels fix directly to keel/joist framing — no release oil, ready to pour.
Why Contractors Switch
Engineered to outperform plywood on every job
Five technical advantages of our PP (polypropylene) construction that directly reduce material spend, labor hours, and rework on site.
High Reusability
60–100 reuse cycles per panel vs. just 5–10 for plywood, dramatically lowering your cost per pour over the life of a project.
100% Waterproof
Fully weather-resistant construction means no warping, splitting, or rotting — even in humid or wet site conditions.
Mirror-Smooth Finish
Produces a fair-faced concrete surface straight off the form — cutting plastering and finishing labor significantly.
Standard Workability
Saw, nail, drill, and cut with your existing woodworking tools — no special crews or equipment required.
100% Eco-Friendly
Fully recyclable polypropylene structure — reducing timber consumption and job-site waste disposal costs.

Technical specifications & installation guide
Recommended Joist / Keel Spacing
| Thickness | Recommended Use | Joist / Keel Spacing |
|---|---|---|
| 18mm | Columns, beams, slabs, walls | 20–30 cm |
| 15mm | Standard walls & deck slabs | 18–25 cm |
| 12mm | Lightweight slabs & curved forms | 15–20 cm |
Spacing is a general engineering guideline. Always confirm against project-specific structural load calculations.
3-Step On-Site Installation Best Practices
-
1
Frame & Support Layout
Set steel or timber keels/joists at the spacing recommended for your panel thickness, ensuring a level, rigid support structure before panel placement.
-
2
Panel Fixing
Fix panels directly to the frame using standard nails, screws, or clamps — no pre-drilling or specialty fasteners required.
-
3
Pour, Cure & Strip
Pour without release oil, cure per your mix design, then strip and clean panels for immediate reuse on the next section or project.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many times can an 18mm PP hollow formwork panel be reused?
18mm PP hollow formwork panels are engineered for 60 to 100+ reuse cycles when handled correctly, compared to only 5–10 reuses for traditional plywood shuttering.
Do PP formwork panels require release oil?
No. The smooth, non-porous polypropylene surface prevents concrete adhesion naturally, eliminating the need for release oil and reducing labor and material costs.
Are PP hollow formwork panels waterproof?
Yes. PP formwork panels are 100% waterproof and weather-resistant, so they will not warp, split, delaminate, or rot when exposed to moisture or repeated outdoor use.
What thicknesses and sizes are available?
Panels are available in 12mm, 15mm, and 18mm thicknesses, with standard sizes including 1220 x 2440mm (4x8 ft), 915 x 1830mm (3x6 ft), and 1250 x 2500mm Euro large format.
