Bamboo plywood form types and advantages
Bamboo plywood templates come in two main types: double-sided laminated and two-sided smooth (glossy). The core material is bamboo, and the laminated version features a hard plastic layer on the surface. These templates are designed for durability, efficiency, and ease of use in construction projects.
One of the key advantages of bamboo plywood templates is their large size, which reduces the number of joints and ensures a smoother, flatter surface compared to traditional materials. They are lightweight—only about 35% the weight of comparable steel formwork—which makes them easier to handle and transport. Installation and removal are quick and straightforward, as they can be directly attached to the framework without the need for special connectors. This not only saves time but also improves overall productivity.
Additionally, these templates have a significantly lower adhesion force to concrete—just 1/7 of that of steel formwork—making it easier to demold after pouring. Their strength is impressive, with static bending strength up to 6-10 times that of wood plywood, and their elastic modulus is also very high, ensuring long-lasting performance. The surface is highly wear-resistant, making it ideal for repeated use.
The product uses modified phenolic resin adhesive, which provides excellent water resistance. It can withstand boiling for up to three hours without delamination. Its thermal conductivity is low, ranging from 0.14 to 1.16 W/m·K, much lower than steel formwork, which helps maintain better insulation for concrete during winter construction. Bamboo plywood templates can also be combined with steel frames to create modular and standardized template systems, increasing reusability and reducing waste.
This versatile product is widely used in the construction of cast-in-place concrete structures such as commercial buildings, residential complexes, airports, parking lots, and urban infrastructure. It is also suitable for applications like container floors, vehicle panels, and ship decks. Among these, the bamboo bridge template stands out as a high-grade option available in standard and high-precision versions. The surface is finely smoothed, free of imperfections, and made with imported plastic materials. It’s especially ideal for high-quality concrete finishes, such as those required in clear water walls, overpasses, viaducts, high-speed rail lines, tunnels, dams, power stations, flood control structures, and high-rise buildings.
