Q: What is the main difference between your DURE™ formwork board and traditional plywood?
A: Our DURE™ formwork board is 100% waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Unlike plywood that swells or delaminates, DURE™ board maintains its shape in any weather. Most importantly, it can be reused over 100-200 times, significantly reducing the cost per use compared to the 5-10 times typical of plywood.
Q: Does the PP hollow formwork board require releasing agents?
A: No, one of the biggest advantages of our plastic formwork board is its non-stick surface. The concrete will not adhere to the plastic, allowing for easy stripping and a smooth, fair-faced concrete finish without the need for expensive oil-based releasing agents.
Q: Can your plastic formwork board be nailed, sawed, and drilled like wood?
A: Yes, absolutely. It can be processed just like timber. You can use standard woodworking tools to cut, nail, and drill. It holds nails exceptionally well and won't crack or splinter during the process.
Q: How does the formwork board perform in extreme temperatures?
A: Our templates are engineered to withstand temperatures from -20°C to +85°C. They resist thermal expansion and contraction better than standard plastics, ensuring precision in both hot tropical climates and cold winter construction.
Q: Is the initial higher cost of plastic formwork board worth it?
A: While the initial price is higher than plywood, the "cost per pour" is much lower. Since one plastic sheet replaces about 20 plywood sheets over its lifespan, you save on material costs, labor for frequent replacements, and disposal fees.
Q: Are your products eco-friendly?
A: Yes. Our formwork board is made from recyclable materials. After its service life, the damaged boards can be crushed and re-manufactured into new templates, achieving a zero-waste circular economy.
Q: Do you provide international shipping and what is the lead time?
A: We have extensive experience in global export. We coordinate everything from House Bill of Lading (HBL) to container loading. Typical lead time is 7-14 days depending on order volume.
Q: Are your products insured?
A: Yes, for your peace of mind, all our products are covered by Product Liability Insurance from PICC (People's Insurance Company of China). This provides our global clients with professional risk protection and quality assurance.
Q: Do you accept trial orders?
A: Yes, we welcome trial orders. We understand that you may need to verify our product quality and performance on-site before committing to a large-scale formal order.
Q: Are your samples free of charge?
A: Yes, we provide free samples upon request. Typically, samples are prepared and dispatched within 3 working days to ensure you can begin your testing as soon as possible.
