N E T TIEING/HANDSET PLYFORM High Density Overlay (HDO) High Density Overlaid Plywood is the standard "workhorse" of the concrete industry. Producing uniform surfaces and offering high reuses, HDO Plywood is ideal for most engineered forming systems. With HDO Plywood, cost-per-pour is low. It's tough resin overlay resists the alkali complexion of concrete and the scouring action of aggregates, enabling it to last far longer than BB-grade or MDO plywood. With reasonable care, 25 plus reuses can be expected. HDO Plywood gives concrete a smooth, glossy finish. Surface discoloration is held to a minimum because the overlaid veneer is impermeable and non-absorbent which keeps hydration uniform. The smooth face of overlaid plywood promotes the evacuation of air during consolidation, reducing bugholes and honeycombing. HDO Plywood minimizes grain and patch transfer as well. Since it keeps its finish longer than ordinary plywood, HDO Plywood assures a more consistent surface appearance. With HDO Plywood, stripping and clean-up are a breeze. It's non-absorbent so form release agents stay where they can do the most good—on the face of the panel. After a pour, HDO Plywoodrequires minimal clean-up for subsequent pours. Medium Density Overlay (MDO) For moderate reuse at a cost that's comparable to BB-grade plywood, Medium Density Overlay Plywood is an excellent value. MDO Plywood is best suited to applications where a glossy finish is undesirable or where a final finish of paint or acoustic texture is specified. MDO Plywood will leave concrete with a matte finish that readily accepts coatings. This same matte surface helps MDO Plywood hold release agents uniformly in place so there's less blotchiness from uneven hydration.

As a result the alkus is a very economical choice for panelized formwork. The patented layered panel is extremely robust, durable and enables top quality exposed concrete. • No rotting, no discolouration on concrete, no swelling – solid plastic panels enable consistent quality for years with guarantee. • Provides panel thicknesses for each application. The available panel thicknesses and further information can be found in the technical data. • Thanks to the continuous production process and the fact that alkus panels are weldable, alkus solid plastic panels can be supplied in any size and shape to meet requirements. alkus GM The formwork panel alkus® GM, made from fibre reinforced polypropylene, is typically used as form lining for slab formwork, circular formwork and special structural elements. alkus AL Thanks to its excellent flexural strength, formwork panel alkus® AL, made from aluminium reinforced polypropylene, is typically used for wall formwork and special structural elements. polypropylene glass fibre polypropylene polypropylene aluminum polypropylene
