->Surface Coating: Heavy-duty Film-Faced Phenolic Overlay (Double-sided)
->Core Composition: Multi-ply cross-banded hardwood core (Eucalyptus / Gurjan)
->Sealing: Factory-sealed edge coating using waterproof acrylic acrylic resin
Structural & Site Applications
->Heavy-Duty Concrete Formwork: Precision shuttering for suspended floor slabs, structural columns, beams, and shear walls.
->Fair-Faced Concrete Finish: High-gloss surface overlay produces smooth, architectural-grade exposed concrete surfaces, reducing plaster work requirements.
->Scaffolding & Work Platforms: High-load decking for temporary construction platforms and staging areas.
->Temporary Protective Hoarding: Weather-resistant enclosure partitions for internal fitting and site boundary safety.
Key Performance Features & Quality Assurance
->Extreme Moisture Resistance: Engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to humidity, wet concrete pours, and tropical rain without delamination or core swelling.
->High Reusability Yield: Designed to endure multiple casting cycles (8 to 12+ pours under standard site handling), optimizing material costs and project timelines.
->Load Bearing & Rigidity: High bending strength minimizes deflection under heavy poured-concrete pressures and vibration equipment.
->Strict Quality Control: Every consignment undergoes moisture verification (<12%) and edge-integrity checks prior to dispatch and site offloading in Kigali.
