4. Solutions to In-service IssuesRest assured. Our R&D and technical support team is composed of engineers with 25 years of professional experience in the formwork manufacturing industry. Should any problems arise during product application, you may contact our technical team directly, and we will provide comprehensive and targeted solutions to address your concerns.

5. Weather Resistance PerformanceOur PVC building formwork is formulated with high-performance anti-UV agents and weather-resistant modifiers. It can maintain structural stability and surface integrity under harsh outdoor conditions such as high temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet radiation, without deformation, embrittlement or discoloration. The product has passed accelerated aging tests, and its performance attenuation rate is controlled within 5% after 1000 hours of exposure to simulated natural environment, meeting the long-term use requirements of outdoor construction scenarios.

6. RecyclabilityThe product is made of high-purity PVC resin, featuring excellent recyclability. At the end of the service life, the waste formwork can be completely recycled, crushed, and reprocessed into new formwork or other PVC products after professional sorting and impurity removal, without generating harmful waste. This not only reduces the environmental pollution caused by construction waste but also helps customers reduce the overall procurement cost of formwork in the long run.

7. Load-bearing PerformanceOur PVC building formwork has undergone rigorous mechanical performance testing. The standard specification products can withstand a uniform load of not less than 30kN/m² without permanent deformation or structural damage, fully meeting the load requirements of cast-in-place concrete construction for beams, columns, slabs and other components. For special heavy-load construction scenarios, we can provide customized reinforced type products with enhanced load-bearing capacity according to the actual design parameters.

8. Installation ConvenienceThe product adopts a lightweight structural design, with a weight per unit area about 60% of that of traditional wooden formwork and 40% of that of steel formwork, which significantly reduces the labor intensity of on-site handling and installation. It is equipped with a standardized tenon-and-groove connection structure, which can be quickly spliced and fixed with matching accessories such as connecting clips and support rods, without the need for complex processing tools. The whole installation process is simple and efficient, which can effectively shorten the construction period by 15%-20% compared with traditional formwork systems.

9. Surface Smoothness & Concrete Forming EffectOur PVC building formwork features a high-precision polished surface with a roughness (Ra) value ≤ 0.8μm, reaching the industry’s top-level smoothness standard. The non-porous and hydrophobic surface structure prevents concrete slurry from penetrating and adhering. After concrete curing and formwork removal, the concrete surface achieves a mirror-like finish with uniform texture, without the need for secondary plastering and polishing processes. This not only improves the appearance quality of the concrete structure but also reduces the subsequent decoration cost and construction time.

10. Corrosion Resistance PerformanceThe product is manufactured with high-purity PVC resin as the core raw material, which inherently possesses excellent chemical stability. It is resistant to corrosion from common corrosive media in construction scenarios, including cement slurry, alkaline cleaning agents, and weak acid rainwater. Unlike steel formwork, it will not rust or corrode; unlike wooden formwork, it will not rot or mildew due to moisture and microbial erosion. After long-term exposure to harsh corrosive environments, the product’s mechanical properties and surface quality remain basically unchanged, ensuring stable reuse performance.

11. Authoritative Comparison with Traditional Building FormworkBased on the test data of the national construction engineering materials quality supervision and inspection center, the performance of our PVC plastic building formwork is comprehensively superior to traditional wooden and steel formwork in multiple dimensions, as shown in the following comparison:

    Comparison Dimension	PVC Plastic Building Formwork	Wooden Formwork	Steel Formwork
    Reuse Cycle	≥50 times	3-5 times	30-40 times
    Unit Area Weight	Light (6-8 kg/㎡)	Medium (10-12 kg/㎡)	Heavy (15-20 kg/㎡)
    Concrete Forming Effect	Mirror finish, no secondary treatment	Rough surface, need plastering	Easy to rust and stain concrete surface
    Corrosion Resistance	Excellent (acid and alkali resistant)	Poor (prone to rot and mildew)	Poor (prone to rust)
    Environmental Friendliness	100% recyclable	Non-recyclable, high forest resource consumption	High energy consumption in production and recycling
    Comprehensive Cost (per use)	Low (amortized cost after multiple reuse)	High (frequent replacement)	Medium (high initial investment)
