Extrutech PVC Concrete Form Panels Plastic Permanent Formwork
PVC permanent concrete formwork wall system used to rapidly build internal and external load-bearing walls.
Made from durable PVC, lightweight PERMAFORM panels clip and slide together and are core-filled with concrete to form walls. The panels remain in place as sacrificial formwork, leaving a high quality, clean, straight surface with minimal deflection.
Compared with traditional plywood formwork, our new PVC plastic formwork has following 8 advantages:
1. Save time.The product surface is smooth and clean.
2. Easy to protect.The formwork doesn't absorb water and doesn't need special maintenance or storage.
3. Strong variability. Types, shapes and specifications can be customized according to construction requirements.
4. Energy conservation and environmental protection. The leftover materials and used formwork can be recycled, So zero waste discharged.
5. The construction process is simple, which is basically the same as the traditional wooden formwork
6. Good water resistance, durable and economical. Even if completely immersed in water, will not be deformed by the damp, not swell the mold, also will not rust decay, therefore not afraid of rain.
7. High construction efficiency and lower labor cost: using tjis formwork , the building can have smooth surface,, without the need for secondary modification, so saving process, improving construction efficiency and lowering construction cost
8. High strength. On both measures of impact-resistance and tortuosity, it has far exceeded the plywood.
The classification of PVC permanent concrete wall system.
1. Stay in place (SIP) pvc formwork
Stay in place (SIP) formwork can regard it as the basic style of pvc formwork , the concept of concrete formwork that is installed, filled and not removed. This eliminates the need to strip and stack, unload from site, transport back to a yard of storage.
2. Insulated concrete formwork (ICF)
Insulated concrete formwork (ICF) is development of stay in place formwork (SIP) with additional thermal insulation properties.
Typically ICF forms, ICF walls, ICF panels etc involve expanded polystyrene EPS foam as the actual formwork mould. Whilst this provides thermal benefits it is a soft substrate under applied finishes and prone to impact damage.
What we do?
Lumei is one of the professional manufactures of pvc extrusion profiles with 15 extrusion lines. We offer the pvc extruded molds design and accept special customized. Soft-hard pvc co-extrusion uses for concrete formwork wall system is a new generation on Installation and transportation. The soft pvc makes a key point on formwork folding, here are the advantages:
1. New-design beyond the traditional design, the pvc concrete formwork can be folded.
2. Compression volume of the traditional formwork, make 3 in 1;Help a lot on saving the trucks cost.
3. Product packing: out-of-the-box, saving labor cost and moving faster the project progress.
The folding pvc concrete formwork with the small occupied volume and quick installation would be a new tendency in formwork field. the spring of the construction industry is coming again.
APPLICATIONS
Use Permaform in place of costly and time-consuming traditional construction methods such as:
+ Concrete filled blocks |
+ Conventionally formed in-situ reinforced concrete walls |
+ Precast/tilt-up walls |
+ Conventional clay, concrete masonry and blockwork |
