Coating plywood for concrete formwork is a type of plywood used as formwork into which concrete is poured. Its distinctive feature is the coating applied to the surface, which facilitates easy release from hardened concrete and helps achieve a smooth concrete finish. Shimane Plywood manufactures products that comply with the JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards) specifications for surface-processed plywood for concrete formwork. Compared with structural plywood, coating plywood for concrete formwork is required to provide higher durability because it is used in concrete casting applications. Although its primary application is concrete formwork, its high durability also makes it suitable for use as a substrate for roofing work, DIY projects, and areas exposed to moisture, such as around kitchens.
