VERIFIED Eucalyptus Core Circular Column Formwork – Custom Radius Film Faced Plywood

Product Description

This is a premium-grade Circular Column Formwork specifically engineered for heavy-duty construction projects. Unlike standard poplar-core molds, this product is manufactured using a 100% Eucalyptus Hardwood Core. This material choice significantly increases the density and structural strength of the formwork, allowing it to withstand higher concrete pouring pressures without deformation.

Key Specifications:

• Core Material: Full Eucalyptus Hardwood (High Density & Strength).
• Surface: Standard Film Face (Corrosion & Moisture Resistant).
• Customization: We fabricate the precise radius and height according to your engineering drawings (CAD).
• Durability: Excellent resistance to corrosion and cement chemicals, ensuring a long service life and multiple reuses.

Professional Insights: Eucalyptus Formwork

Why choose Eucalyptus core for circular columns? Here are three technical advantages:

1. Hardwood Strength vs. Poplar

Standard circular molds often use Poplar (softwood) because it is cheaper and easier to bend. However, for large-diameter columns or high-pressure pours, Poplar can deform. Eucalyptus is a hardwood with superior density (approx. 600-650+ kg/m³). It offers exceptional stiffness and load-bearing capacity, ensuring the column remains perfectly round during the pour.

2. Superior Corrosion Resistance

The “Standard Film Face” mentioned in the specs provides a critical barrier. Combined with the dense Eucalyptus core, this formwork is highly resistant to the corrosive alkaline nature of wet concrete. This prevents the wood from rotting and ensures the formwork peels off cleanly, leaving a smooth “fair-faced” concrete surface that often requires no plastering.

3. Precision Customization

Since every bridge or building project has unique requirements, this product is sold based on “Custom Drawings.” Whether you need a 500mm diameter or a 2000mm diameter column, the Eucalyptus plywood is heat-pressed into the exact curvature required. The integrated tongue-and-groove joints ensure a seamless fit, preventing concrete leakage (honeycombing) at the seams.
