Formwork

NOVAPLAK®

Formwork

A recyclable, fire retardant, easy to work with, formwork sheet used as a substitute to marine plywood for fair-faced concrete, and architectonic concrete stamp, for structured concrete finish. Scratch and alkali resistant, the sheets will not be damaged by steel reinforcing bars nor by wet concrete. No release agent is needed for demolding the sheets throughout its multiple-use cycle. Oiling the sheets is enough to keep them in form. Circular and curved forms are easily achieved.
  • 30% to 50% more cost effective than alternatives
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Multiple reuse with no reduced performance
  • Easy cleaning
  • Resistant to puncturing and bending
  • Fully recyclable

The sheets’ flexibility allows them to be used as molds to give form, structure, and texture directly to the concrete. They can be thermoformed on-site with a heat gun to make a curve or an angle.

Key Benefits

  • Cost Efficiency

    01

    Being recyclable, resistant to wear and tear, malleable and leaving almost not marks on the concrete, the material has a high cost efficiency

  • Light & Easy

    02

    Its low density makes it easy to transport and handle. Use standard formwork processes, tools and materials

  • Easy To Clean

    03

    Cleanable within 24hrs of use with a standard high pressure cleaner (use FC ALU or equivalent)

  • New Possibilities

    04

    Leverage the material features to innovate new applications in form work.
