Tuff shield Shuttering ply
Tuff Shield Shuttering Plywood
TUFFSHIELD Ply is designed to withstand rigors of construction work while maintaining a smooth & flawless finish. Builders and contractors are sure to appreciate the combination of durability & precision that Tuffshield offer. Tuffshield uses a premium 120 GSM film coating on both sides deliveringexceptional protection against moisture , chemicals and abrasions.
TuffshieldPly is manufactured aligning multiple layers of phenolic resin-coated 100% hardwood veneers at right angles to each other and compressing them under high pressure ensuring a sturdy and resilient final product . The extra compression not only enhances nail and screw holding capacity but also contributes to the overall longevity and quality of the plywood. By using carefully selected quality veneer, Tuffshield Ply sets a high standard for performance & reliability in the construction industry.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF TUFFSHIELD FILM FACED SHUTTERING PLYWOOD
ARE:
- Tuffshield film faced shuttering plywood is most effective in RCC construction
- It has a smooth mirror like superior finishing on both surfaces
- It saves up to 45% of cost compared to other similar products due to more repetition during shuttering work.
- Its cross laminated structure between face veneer, core veneer and the film enhances the strength of ply.
- After using it as shuttering plywood for many times ,it can be re-used for paneling , roofing , flooring , partitions etc
