What is Shuttering Plywood?
Shuttering plywood, also known as formwork plywood, is a high-strength construction material specifically engineered for temporary moulding during concrete casting. It holds wet concrete securely for slabs, columns, beams, and foundations until it sets.
Constructed using high-density hardwood veneers arranged in a cross-grain matrix, it is bonded with Boiling Water Proof (BWP) phenolic adhesive. The heavy-duty phenolic film coating prevents concrete from adhering to the surface, delivers a smooth fair-faced concrete finish, and ensures high repetition cycles.
- High-density phenolic resin film coating prevents concrete sticking
- Multiple re-use cycles (15 to 20+ repetitions under proper site handling)
- Waterproof edge-sealed with polyurethane paint to prevent moisture ingress
- Exceptional bending strength resisting hydraulic pressure of wet concrete

KNOWLEDGE BASE
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about shuttering plywood reusability, film coatings, thickness selection, and concrete formwork in Dubai.
Need Jobsite Site Delivery?
We provide daily flatbed and boom-truck deliveries directly to construction sites throughout Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
What is the purpose of shuttering plywood?
Shuttering plywood is used in construction to build temporary formwork moulds that hold wet concrete in place while it sets. It ensures that cast columns, slabs, and walls maintain accurate dimensions and a smooth, fair-faced concrete surface.
Is shuttering plywood waterproof?
Yes. It is manufactured using 100% Boiling Water Proof (BWP) phenolic resin adhesive and coated with a dense phenolic film. All four edges are coated with waterproof paint to resist moisture penetration.
How many times can shuttering plywood be reused?
Depending on the quality of handling, cleaning, and the regular use of shuttering release oil, Titan Core film-faced shuttering plywood can typically be reused 15 to 20 times or more on a construction site.
What thickness of shuttering plywood is ideal for concrete casting?
18mm is the industry standard across Dubai and the UAE for floor slabs, columns, and structural formwork because it provides the optimal balance of rigidity and weight. 12mm is also used for curved profiles or lighter casting.
What is the basic difference between shuttering plywood and normal plywood?
Normal plywood has a raw wood veneer surface designed for interior carpentry. Shuttering plywood is coated with a waterproof phenolic resin film, bonded with waterproof BWP resin, and edge-sealed specifically to withstand wet concrete and weather.
