AINSWORTH LAUNCHES A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO G1S CONCRETE-FORMING
PLYWOOD
 Ainsworth,
manufacturers of the market-leading range of Pourform – MDO™ plywood
concrete-forming panels, is introducing an overlaid OSB
concrete-forming panel that offers a cost-effective and FSC
certified alternative to ‘good one-side’ (G1S) plywood. Pourform-OS™
is aimed at contractors seeking to improve the pour quality in
low-reuse concrete-forming applications, which typically use less
than five pours such as low-rise structures, bridges, culverts,
roads and other industrial and commercial projects using loose form
systems or site-built forms.
The new concrete-forming panel features an enhanced MDO paper
overlay on a specially engineered OSB panel.
“Pourform-OS will provide contractors with many advantages over G1S
plywood including equivalent or better reuse as well as better
finish and release properties” said Mark Sutherland, manager of
industrial and engineered wood product sales for Ainsworth. “Best of
all, OS will be cost-competitive with G1S plywood and will allow
contractors to enjoy the benefits of an overlaid panel with the
potential for a lower cost per pour.”
Pourform-OS features a black MDO overlay, which helps to mask the
strand pattern of the underlying OSB. Telegraphing of strand
patterns is expected to be significantly less than the grain and
patch transfer imparted to concrete surfaces from non-overlaid G1S
plywood panels. The overlay also makes the panel easier to strip.
“Pourform-OS releases cleanly and easily with less maintenance time
required for scraping of concrete build-up, so contractors spend
less on labour for stripping as well as remedial work,” continued
Mark. “The panel also gives a smoother, more consistent appearance
free of wood slivers and rough texture that can be a characteristic
of G1S plywood.
“And, because the overlay is specifically designed for concrete-
form use, it will withstand the alkalinity of all common concrete
mixes – protection that is not provided by non-overlaid plywood.”
The finished concrete has a matte finish that is uniform in colour
and accepts paint well.
Besides being FSC certified, the OSB substrate of the panel also
utilises sustainable, fast growing tree species. The panel itself
accepts biodegradable release agents and uses less release agent
than
traditional panels.
