FAQ

What is formply?

Formply is plywood with a high-density phenolic resin impregnated paper with sealed edges.

Can formply be used outside?

Yes, we recommend the Structural Formply with its marine glue line. On the other hand, the Non-Structural is better suited for semi exposed applications or temporary exposed applications.

Please ensure that any cut edges are resealed to ensure against moisture ingress leading to rot & decay. Ideally for any holes to be predrilled & spray paint applied to seal the hole prior to affixing the panel.

What’s the difference between Structural & Non-Structural?

• Structural has been put through testing and has a higher breaking strength.
• Structural has an A-Bond Marine glue line compared to the Non-Structural which has a B-Bond exterior glue only suitable for semi-exposed or temporary exterior applications.

Can formply be painted?

The only product reported to have worked on the phenolic face with our customers is B-I-N Primer Sealer by Zinsser.
