Formwork is a type of non-replaceable construction tools when conducting construction projects. ADTO GROUP, a construction material and equipment supplier based in China, provides all kinds of formwork for your purchase. formwork systems can be generally divided into the following four types:

Timber Formwork

The familiar timber formworks are poplar formwork and pine formwork. Timber formwork has the advantages of lightweight and low cost. Timber formwork can also be self-processed according to construction requirements. While timber formwork is more likely to wear down during its processing, thus reducing its using times. And the forming effect of concrete wall shaped with timber formwork is not good.

Steel Formwork

Just as the word implies, steel formwork is the formwork system made from steel. It has the quality of high strength and can be circle used for many times. But the steel is too heavy to handle. Thus for construction personnel, the steel formwork system is not easy to assembly and disassembly. During the construction, the secondary pouring is required.

Plastic Formwork

Plastic formwork is a kind of formwork system manufactured with several kinds of raw materials, such as PE, fly ash, calcium carbonate and other fillers processing under the extrusion process. Plastic formwork has a good surface finish. It also has the merits of no absorption of moisture, no mouldiness, acid, and alkali resistant property, and lower cost compared with steel formwork. But plastic formwork is easy to explode and swell with high thermal expansion coefficient and low strength and stiffness.

Aluminum Formwork

Aluminum formwork is actually be called as aluminum alloy formwork. It is a new kind of construction formwork system manufactured with aluminum profile and aluminum plate. It is widely used in all fields of the reinforced concrete structure due to its merits of lightweight, high circulation using, bigger load-bearing capacity, a wide range of applications, convenience construction, and high returned value .etc.
