Why More Contractors Are Switching to Vietnamese Film Faced Plywood

As construction costs rise and project timelines tighten, builders and contractors around the world are searching for smarter, more reliable materials. Among the most critical components in concrete construction is formwork, and when it comes to formwork solutions, Vietnamese film faced plywood is quickly becoming the top choice.

With its unbeatable balance of durability, price, and sustainability, Tadex Film Faced Plywood offers a proven solution for demanding job sites. In fact, under proper use, it can be reused up to 50 times — giving contractors unmatched value over the long term.

What Is Film Faced Plywood?

Film faced plywood is a high-performance panel designed specifically for formwork and concrete pouring applications. It consists of a hardwood (Acacia or eucalyptus veneer core), bonded with WBP glue which is a high-strength adhesive, and overlaid with a phenolic resin film on both surfaces.

This special coating not only protects the plywood from moisture, abrasion, and chemicals — it also ensures a smooth finish on concrete surfaces. The result is a plywood panel that withstands repeated use, harsh site conditions, and wet environments without losing shape or strength.

Why Contractors Prefer Vietnamese Film Faced Plywood

1. Unmatched Cost-Efficiency

Vietnam offers significant advantages in terms of raw materials and labor, allowing plywood manufacturers like Tadex Ply to deliver world-class quality at a competitive price. For contractors working on large-scale projects, the cost savings are considerable — especially when importing from a country with favorable Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).

Moreover, Tadex Film Faced Plywood’s high reuse rate of up to 50 times dramatically reduces your cost per use, making it one of the most economical choices for formwork in the market today.

2. Strength and Structural Integrity

At Tadex Ply, we use only dense eucalyptus and acacia cores, known for their high strength-to-weight ratio. Our manufacturing process ensures each panel maintains uniform thickness, flatness, and excellent edge bonding. This results in plywood sheets that won’t warp, delaminate, or splinter easily — even under the stress of multiple concrete pours.

Whether you’re constructing columns, slabs, or vertical walls, Tadex plywood provides the stability and support needed to handle pressure without compromising your formwork system.

3. Superior Reusability — Up to 50 Times

What sets Tadex Film Faced Plywood apart is its exceptional durability. Thanks to our use of premium phenolic films, WBP glue (water boiled proof), and core-grade selection, our plywood can be reused up to 50 times with proper maintenance.

This level of performance is ideal for contractors who value long-term savings and reduced material turnover. Repeated use not only cuts down on reordering but also lowers waste on-site — helping you stay lean, efficient, and sustainable.

Beside the premium quality, Tadex Ply also offers the middle quality which can be reuse 4-6 times, 6-10 times, 10-15 times, … which is suitable for the low-rise building projects.

4. Waterproof and Weather-Resistant

Moisture is the number one enemy of plywood, especially in outdoor or high-humidity job sites. That’s why Tadex Film Faced Plywood is engineered to be completely water-resistant, using advanced coatings and strong core-glue bonding to protect against swelling, rot, and delamination.

Even after several cycles of wetting and drying, our plywood retains its form and strength, making it perfect for tropical, rainy, or coastal environments.

5. Custom Sizes and Flexible Specifications

Tadex Ply understands that not every formwork system is the same. That’s why we offer both standard sheets (1220x2440mm or 1250x2500mm) and cut-to-size plywood (610x2440mm, 610x2500mm, 625x2500mm, 1200x1800mm, 1200x2400mm,…) tailored to your project/market requirements.

We also accommodate a variety of thicknesses (9mm to 30mm), core constructions (full eucalyptus, acacia mixed hardwood, or Acacia-eucalyptus combi), and glue types (Melamine, WBP). This flexibility ensures you get exactly the product you need — with no compromise.

6. Sustainability and Global Compliance

Vietnam has taken strong steps toward legal timber sourcing and sustainable forestry, making it one of the most reliable countries for eco-conscious contractors. Tadex Ply proudly offers FSC-certified plywood and complies fully with international regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

We also provide all the necessary export documentation, including Certificates of Origin for tariff benefits under Vietnam’s free trade agreements with the EU, UK, South Korea, Australia, Israel, Mexico, Peru, … and more.
