SpecificationsProduct overview
Kosmex film faced plywood is built from rotary-peeled hardwood veneers (acacia, eucalyptus or a mixed hardwood core), bonded under heat and pressure and overlaid on both faces with brown or black phenolic resin film. Panel edges are sealed with waterproof paint.
The film gives a smooth, water-resistant casting face for clean concrete surfaces. The cross-laminated core provides stiffness and screw-holding at formwork thicknesses. Film weight, core grade, glue system and drying method set the performance class. Kosmex publishes these for each grade in its Technical Data Sheet so buyers can compare like-for-like.
Kosmex states typical re-use cycles of 6–8 pours for the Common grade, 10–12 for the Medium grade and 12–15 (MUF) or 20+ (PF glue) for the Premium grade. Actual service life depends on handling, release agent, edge maintenance and the concrete pour.

Full QC processLogs checked for species, diameter and moisture before peeling.
Veneer dried to 8–12% moisture and sorted by thickness and face.
Adhesive mixed per product formula; temperature, pressure and time controlled.
Size, moisture, surface, core and bending checks after trimming and sanding.
Random bond testing against EN 314-2 and surface inspection.
100% panel inspection, final moisture and bond checks before shipment.
Applications
Wall, column and slab formwork where a smooth, consistent concrete finish is required.
Residential, commercial and infrastructure pours, including bridge works (per Kosmex application list).
Premium-grade panels for site fences and hoarding.

Brand assurance
The KOSMEX mark is printed into the film across the full 1250 × 2500 mm panel in a repeating diagonal layout. It stays readable on offcuts and partial sheets.
Branded panels go through the same documented inspection stages: thickness and dimensional checks, moisture control and bonding checks before shipment.
A visible manufacturer mark links a panel on site back to its supplier, specification and batch documents. Batch QC reports are available per shipment.
Distributors can stock a recognisable, documented brand instead of an anonymous commodity panel. Private-label options are open for discussion.
