Marine Grade Shuttering Plywood 18mm 50Kg HD Grade

Cochin Wood Industries is a reputed manufacturer known for producing high-quality plywood and wood-based products. Their products are designed to meet the stringent demands of the construction and infrastructure industries, with a particular focus on durability, moisture resistance, and long-lasting performance. Product Description:The Marine Grade Shuttering Plywood 18mm 50Kg HD Grade from Cochin Wood Industries is a premium, heavy-duty plywood designed for use in marine environments and concrete formwork applications. With a thickness of 18mm and a weight of 50 kg, this plywood is built to withstand the harshest conditions, including exposure to moisture, heavy loads, and mechanical stress. Key Features: 18mm Thickness: The 18mm thickness provides a strong and stable base for formwork, ensuring it can withstand the pressure from freshly poured concrete without bending, warping, or failing. This thickness also strikes a good balance between strength and flexibility, making it ideal for both marine and concrete applications. 50Kg Weight: Weighing 50 kg, this plywood is relatively heavy, reflecting its high density and strength. The weight indicates that it is robust and capable of bearing heavy loads, making it suitable for large-scale construction projects where plywood needs to endure significant mechanical stress. Marine Grade (PF-Marine): The PF-Marine treatment ensures that this plywood is waterproof and moisture-resistant. It can endure exposure to water and humidity without swelling, delaminating, or rotting. This makes it ideal for use in environments prone to moisture, such as marine construction and coastal areas. HD Grade (Heavy Duty): The HD (Heavy Duty) grade designation means this plywood is engineered to handle high loads and stresses, making it perfect for demanding construction applications. It is built to withstand the rigors of repeated concrete pouring and harsh marine conditions. Water Resistance:The PF-Marine treatment gives the plywood superior moisture resistance, ensuring that it can withstand high-humidity environments and exposure to water without deteriorating. This is particularly important for marine and coastal projects, where plywood is often exposed to water, or in formwork where water from concrete pouring can cause damage. Durability & Reusability:Designed for heavy-duty use, the plywood can withstand repeated use in marine construction and concrete formwork applications. Its durability allows it to be reused multiple times without significant degradation, making it a cost-effective solution for contractors working on large or long-term projects. Surface Quality:The plywood typically features a smooth, laminated surface, which helps prevent concrete from sticking to it, ensuring easy removal of formwork after curing. This smooth finish also helps preserve the plywood for reuse, extending its lifecycle across multiple concrete pours. Applications: Concrete Formwork: Ideal for formwork in foundations, walls, columns, slabs, and beams, where it is exposed to wet conditions during concrete pouring. Marine and Coastal Construction: Suitable for use in marine environments, such as piers, docks, sea walls, and marinas, where constant exposure to water or high humidity is expected. Infrastructure Projects: Perfect for large-scale infrastructure projects, including dams, bridges, and harbor construction, where heavy-duty plywood is required to handle high mechanical loads. Strength and Load-bearing Capacity:The 50 kg weight and HD grade construction indicate that this plywood is designed to handle substantial loads. It provides the necessary strength and stability for demanding applications, ensuring the integrity of both the formwork and the final concrete structure. Environmental Considerations:Cochin Wood Industries uses sustainable wood sources and environmentally friendly treatments to enhance the plywood’s performance. The PF-Marine treatment ensures the plywood's durabilit
