3.2 The ability to shape the surface.

The PP plastic formwork has a very smooth surface that makes it difficult for it to connect with the concrete and can provide the appearance of fair-faced concrete. The PP plastic formwork does not need to be sprayed with a release agent during construction since after the pouring is finished and the concrete has set up, the formwork immediately breaks down from the concrete and can be removed very easily.

5. Plastic Formwork – The Complete FAQ Guide.

(1). How many types of plastic formwork are there?

Depending on the size, thickness, shape, and quality of the plastic panels, there are several varieties of plastic formwork available. Several well-liked styles of plastic formwork include:

Plastic formwork with square holes features a broad structure and equal-sized holes to enhance bearing capacity and lighten the formwork. The advantage of this kind is that it is simple to install, versatile, and has a shiny, spotless concrete surface.

- Plastic formwork with round holes has the same basic construction as formwork with square holes, except they are round rather than square. Better bearing capacity, no warping, no adherence to concrete, and acid and alkali resistance are all benefits of this kind.

- Wood formwork has the advantage of being light, easy to install, good bearing and easy to cut into many different modular shapes. The disadvantage of wooden formwork is that the surface quality decreases with the number of uses, the number of reuses is low, it consumes a lot of natural resources and causes environmental pollution.

- Steel formwork has the advantages of high accuracy, can be reused many times and construction of good quality concrete surface. Disadvantages of steel formwork are heavy weight, difficult transportation, time-consuming construction, easy to warp, warp, adhere to concrete, unsafe and high maintenance costs.

- Aluminum formwork has the advantage of being light in weight, not rusty, good for concrete surfaces and can be reused many times. The disadvantages of aluminum formwork are complicated construction and installation, high maintenance costs, and high production or purchase costs.

- Plywood formwork has the advantage of being light and easy to install, easy to cut into many different modular shapes, flat surface and low price. Disadvantages of pressed wood formwork are the low reuse rate, the surface quality decreases with the number of uses and the need for storage for storage.
