Full Analysis Of Pp Hollow Plastic Building Formwork Applications: High-Rise, Basements, Bridges And Tunnels Can All Replace Wood And Steel

With high reuse rates, waterproof and moisture-proof performance, lightweight structure and easy demolding, pp hollow plastic building formwork is mainly suitable for the following scenarios.

Core building applications (replacing wood and steel)

High-rise and super high-rise residential buildings

Advantages: Each panel is large in area but very light, only about one fifth of steel formwork, so one worker can carry it easily, greatly reducing the labor intensity of high-altitude work and manual handling.

Basements and underground utility tunnels

Advantages: Basements are often damp and easy to accumulate water. Pp hollow formwork absorbs no water, does not swell and resists acid and alkali corrosion, solving the problems of traditional wood formwork that layers, deforms, causes grout leakage and poor flatness when wet.

Walls and slabs with long spans and high flatness requirements

Advantages: The surface is very smooth, so the concrete stays flat and clean after demolding and can reach a fair-faced concrete effect, skipping the second plastering step and saving a lot of labor and material cost on wall treatment.

Residential communities and apartments with repeated standard floors

Advantages: The standard reuse can reach more than 50 times. For high-rise housing that needs repeated shoring and stripping, the unit purchase price is higher than wood formwork, but the cost spread over each reuse is very low and the construction period is clearly shortened.

Special and harsh environment applications

Bridges, tunnels, highways and water conservancy dams

Advantages: Outdoor construction environments are complex. Pp hollow formwork has strong weather resistance and keeps its shape from minus 30 to 70 degrees Celsius, resists impact and wear, does not age or break easily outdoors or in complex geological conditions, and can stand the huge pressure during concrete pouring.

Kitchens, bathrooms and waterproof joints

Advantages: In kitchen and bathroom waterproof backing construction, its excellent waterproof performance can work with waterproof coatings or membranes to form a stable waterproof barrier.

General scenarios with limited construction conditions

Projects with manual handling and low mechanization

Advantages: Because pp hollow formwork has low density and light weight, shoring and stripping can be done without large lifting equipment, making it very suitable for ordinary construction sites with narrow space or no tower crane and other heavy equipment.
