Product overview
The Economy grade is intended for formwork where cost per pour matters more than the maximum number of cycles: short-cycle residential work, foundations and temporary structures. Kosmex states 6–8 re-uses.
Declared construction: brown or black 120 g/m² phenolic film, AB-grade acacia, eucalyptus or mixed core jointed by hand and sun-dried, core sanded once, MUF glue, two hot presses, BR-6h (boil resistant) bonding.
