Film-faced · Anti-slip · Concrete formwork
Premium film-faced plywood and anti-slip plywood for concrete formwork, construction and flooring, made in two factories in Chi Linh, Hai Phong. Up to about 25 pours from a phenolic panel with proper handling, and the documents European sites ask for.
Chi Linh, Hai Phong, Vietnam
Who we are
Phuc Khanh Plywood specialises in premium film-faced plywood and anti-slip plywood for concrete formwork, construction and flooring. No furniture lines, no side products: every press, glue line and film roll is set up for panels that go back into the mould again and again.
We run two factories in Chi Linh, Hai Phong, in northern Vietnam, including a modern plant that started production in 2026. Together they ship up to around 2,000 containers, about 90,000 m³, a year. Europe comes first; we ship worldwide.
Film weight, glue and core are chosen for repeated concrete contact, not for appearance in a showroom.
CE under EN 13986, FSC® chain of custody, ISO 9001, CARB P2 / TSCA Title VI and an EUDR geolocation dossier.
Two factories give the capacity to run repeat orders and multi-container programmes.
The panels
The formwork panel
A smooth phenolic film on both faces over a hardwood core, with sealed edges. It releases cleanly from fresh concrete and leaves an even, fair-faced finish on walls, columns and slabs.
The panel you can walk on
The same strong core with an embossed film face that grips under boots and wheels. Used for scaffold and walkway decks, platforms, trailer and vehicle floors, and other industrial floors.
Film-faced plywood
A film-faced panel is only as good as what sits under the film. We build ours from Acacia or Eucalyptus core veneers, bond them with melamine (MUF) or phenolic glue, press on a dark film and seal all four edges so water stays out of the core.
Anti-slip plywood
The pattern is pressed into the film, so it is part of the panel, not a coating. Pick it by what will cross the surface: boots, trolleys or wheels.
A dense field of small raised grains. Even grip in every direction and easy to sweep: a common choice for scaffold boards and walkways.
Fine crossing ridges like woven mesh. A classic for vehicle and trailer floors, where wheels and pallets turn on the surface.
A honeycomb of raised hexagon cells with a textured centre. Strong, even grip that stays readable even after years of traffic.
Anti-slip panels have been independently pendulum-tested in dry and wet conditions. Ask for the report that matches your pattern.
Anatomy of a panel
Thin veneers laid at right angles to each other, glued and hot-pressed into one stable board, then faced with film. Cross-laminating is what keeps the panel flat and strong in both directions.
Dark resin-impregnated paper, pressed on both faces. Takes the concrete contact.
Smooth hardwood veneer under the film so it lies flat with no telegraphing.
Acacia or Eucalyptus, laid crosswise layer by layer.
Melamine (MUF) or phenolic, chosen for the reuses you need.
Water-resistant paint on all four edges keeps moisture out of the core.
Glue and reuse
Glue is the biggest single choice in a formwork panel. Melamine (MUF) is the efficient choice for shorter cycles; phenolic is for long programmes where the panel goes back into the mould again and again.
Cost-effective for shorter programmes and single-use projects with a few pours.
Weather- and boil-resistant bond for long programmes and repeated stripping.
Reuse counts assume proper handling, a release agent on every pour and sealed edges, including any cut edges.
Sizes and thickness
Most of our panels ship as 1220 × 2440 mm or 1250 × 2500 mm. Custom sizes are made to order. Thickness runs from 9 mm to 40 mm; these four are the everyday formwork thicknesses.
Full range 9–40 mm
Close to the panel
Faces, edges and stacks of film-faced and anti-slip plywood, straight from the stack and unretouched.
Where they work
Panels in steel or timber frames for straight, smooth concrete walls and columns.
Panels on beams and props form a flat deck for floor slabs; the film keeps the soffit even.
Anti-slip panels for trailer and vehicle floors, scaffold boards, walkways and stages.
On site
The panel brings the film, the glue and the sealed edges. These site habits do the rest.
A thin, even coat of release agent before each pour stops concrete bonding to the film.
Paint any edge you cut or drill the same day. Water entering a bare edge is the main reason panels fail early.
Use wedges or proper stripping tools; a crowbar on the face tears the film.
Brush or scrape concrete off right after stripping, before it hardens on the face.
Store panels flat on bearers, off the ground and out of direct rain and sun between uses.

FAQ
Construction plywood only: film-faced plywood for concrete formwork and anti-slip plywood for floors, decks and platforms. We do not make furniture plywood.
With proper handling, a release agent and sealed edges, melamine (MUF) glue panels give about 12–15 reuses and phenolic glue panels up to about 25.
9 to 40 mm thick, most often 12, 15, 18 and 21 mm; 1220 × 2440 mm, 1250 × 2500 mm or custom sizes.
Acacia or Eucalyptus hardwood veneers. A 40HC container takes about 47 m³ of Acacia-core panels or about 43 m³ with Eucalyptus core.
