18mm Formwork Marine Plywood: Built to Endure Heavy-Duty Construction
When constructing bridges, tunnels, or coastal infrastructure, contractors and government procurement teams need materials that deliver unyielding performance under extreme conditions. 18mm Formwork Marine Plywood is engineered to meet these demands, offering exceptional durability for heavy-duty concrete pouring projects. With a precise 18mm thickness (±0.5mm tolerance), marine-grade waterproofing, and a 15-year structural warranty, this plywood ensures smooth, defect-free concrete finishes. Certified to FSC, CE, and ISO 9001 standards, it resists warping, delamination, and saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for seawalls, high-rise foundations, and flood barriers in harsh climates worldwide.

Where It Excels
Our 18mm Formwork Marine Plywood is tailored for high-performance applications:
- Coastal and Marine Projects: Perfect for seawalls, docks, and floodgates, with WBP adhesive and tropical hardwood cores resisting saltwater corrosion and fungal growth in tropical climates.
- High-Pressure Concrete Structures: Reinforced edges and multi-layer lamination prevent blowouts during heavy concrete pours for bridges, dams, and tunnel linings.
- Reusable Formwork Systems: Supports over 10 reuse cycles—twice the lifespan of standard panels—reducing material waste and replacement costs for large-scale projects.
Sustainable Sourcing, Responsible Manufacturing
We prioritize eco-friendly practices without compromising performance:
- 100% FSC-Certified Timber: Sourced from responsibly managed forests to support sustainable construction.
- Low-VOC Adhesives: Compliant with EU Emission Directive 2010/75/EU, ensuring safe indoor air quality.
- Carbon-Neutral Production: Energy-efficient kilns offset 100% of CO2 emissions, aligning with green building standards.
Bulk Order Advantages
Procurement teams benefit from tailored solutions for large-scale projects:
- Volume Discounts: Save 12% on orders exceeding 5,000 sheets, ideal for infrastructure developments.
- Custom Pre-Cutting: Panels tailored to your CAD drawings minimize on-site labor and waste.
- Global Logistics: Doorstep delivery to over 30 countries with flexible Incoterms (FOB, CIF, DDP) and real-time tracking.
Trusted by Infrastructure Leaders
Case Study: Coastal Highway Expansion (Southeast Asia, 2023)
- Challenge: Saltwater exposure caused standard formwork to warp within 6 months.
- Solution: Our marine-grade plywood with anti-corrosion treatment.
- Results: Zero panel replacements over 18 months, saving $218,000 in material costs.
