What Is Plastic Face Plywood?
Plastic face plywood is an engineered wood panel laminated with a polypropylene (PP) or plastic film on both faces. This outer layer protects the board from moisture, chemical corrosion, and surface damage. Unlike melamine or phenolic coated plywood, plastic face plywood delivers longer reuse cycles, reduced maintenance, and cleaner stripping in formwork applications.
ROCPLEX plastic face plywood is manufactured with premium veneer cores, bonded using WBP phenolic glue, and sealed on all edges. The result is a stable, tough, and water-resistant panel that can be reused up to 30 times on site. It’s ideal for shuttering systems, flooring, packaging, and truck beds.
Plastic Face Plywood Designed for Tough Jobs
Construction environments are unpredictable. Water, mud, high temperatures, and concrete pressure can destroy regular plywood. ROCPLEX plastic face plywood was designed to overcome all these challenges.
It resists swelling, doesn’t peel, and remains easy to clean after each pour. Builders use it in high-rise structures, bridges, tunnels, and large-scale housing projects. One board. Many uses. Minimal maintenance.
How ROCPLEX Plastic Face Plywood Delivers Results
Every ROCPLEX panel is built for durability. We use selected poplar or eucalyptus veneers for the core. Then we apply high-quality PP film to both sides using hot press technology. Each sheet is sealed along its edges to block moisture from entering.
Key features include:
Waterproof surface – Rain, washdowns, and humidity won’t harm it.
Non-stick plastic film – Reduces concrete residue and cleaning time.
High reusability – Delivers up to 30 clean, reliable uses per board.
Smooth finish – Concrete surfaces come out clean and polished.
No form oil needed – Cuts down costs and speeds up stripping.
These benefits add up to serious value on job sites.
Common Applications of Plastic Face Plywood
Plastic plywood is no longer just for formwork. ROCPLEX plastic face plywood is being used across multiple industries:
Transport vehicle flooring
Reusable export packaging
Temporary construction pathways
Tunnel and metro infrastructure
In each case, the need is the same—durability, moisture resistance, and repeat performance.
Frequently Asked: Why Choose Plastic Face Plywood Over Film Faced?
This is a key concern for many buyers.
Film faced plywood is coated with melamine or phenolic resin films. While tough, these surfaces wear down after limited use.
Plastic face plywood, by contrast, features thicker plastic film that stands up to abrasion, moisture, and impact. ROCPLEX plastic coated plywood panels last 3–4 times longer than traditional film faced panels.
The surface is also easier to clean. No sticking. No extra scrubbing. And no chemical agents needed.
ROCPLEX Solves Pain Points Contractors Know Too Well
Problem 1: Panels warp after one week in the rain
Solution: ROCPLEX PP film is waterproof and won’t absorb moisture.
Problem 2: Concrete sticks and wastes labor hours on stripping
Solution: The non-stick surface strips fast and clean—no oil needed.
Problem 3: Boards break before 10 pours
Solution: ROCPLEX plastic plywood delivers over 25 reuse cycles under normal site conditions.
That’s why contractors trust ROCPLEX—not just for performance, but for peace of mind.

Fast Handling, Easy Cleaning, Longer Use
Builders face pressure to meet deadlines. That’s where ROCPLEX plastic face plywood shines. Its smooth PP surface doesn’t trap concrete, so there’s less residue to clean.
Each panel remains flat even after multiple uses, eliminating uneven formwork or slab defects. Whether in cold storage facilities, tunnels, or public infrastructure, the board remains stable and consistent.
Cleaning requires just a simple brush or water rinse. Crews spend less time scrubbing and more time building.
Storage and Usage Tips for Optimal Panel Life
Maximize panel life with these basic guidelines:
Stack flat on battens, off the ground
Protect edges if cutting, reseal with waterproof paint
Avoid dragging across concrete or steel surfaces
Clean after use, using a soft broom or water
Store under cover to extend edge sealing and film longevity
ROCPLEX provides user guides and support for contractors to get the best performance per panel.
