What is Plastic Concrete Formwork and What Are Its Applications?

Plastic concrete formwork is a type of mold made from compressed and lightweight polymers. Due to its outstanding properties, it has become an efficient alternative to metal and plywood formworks in modern construction. Plastic concrete formworks are highly popular in civil engineering projects because of their low weight, ease of transportation, high resistance to pressure, and long lifespan. These formworks can be used to construct various concrete structures, such as walls, columns, ceilings, bridges, and stairs.

One of the standout features of these formworks is their compatibility with modular systems, allowing builders to easily connect pieces and simplify the formworking of complex structures. Additionally, due to their non-absorption of moisture and resistance to corrosion, they require less maintenance compared to metal formworks. Moreover, their ability to be combined with metal formworks makes them a flexible and versatile choice for construction projects. For these reasons, plastic concrete formworks are recognized as an economical and sustainable solution in the construction industry.

Plastic Concrete Formwork: A Modern and Efficient Choice in the Construction Industry

Pricing of Plastic Concrete Formwork

Although plastic (polymeric) concrete formworks may be more expensive than plywood formworks initially, they offer greater long-term economic benefits due to their longer lifespan, lower transportation costs, and reduced installation expenses. Furthermore, depending on the raw materials used, plastic concrete formworks come in different grades and quality levels, allowing for the selection of more affordable options based on project requirements. For example, black polymeric formworks made from recycled materials have a lower price—and consequently lower resistance and quality—compared to those produced from virgin raw materials.

Affordable Plastic Formwork

Polymeric formworks designed for concrete pouring are produced in various quality grades, designs, and sizes. If you are looking to purchase affordable and economical polymeric formworks, you can opt for grades made from recycled materials. Purchasing second-hand plastic concrete formworks is also an option worth considering.

Advantages of Plastic Concrete Formworks

Lightweight

One of the prominent advantages of polymeric concrete formworks is their light weight. For instance, each square meter of plastic formwork weighs approximately 15 kg, while similar metal formworks can weigh up to 40 kg. This weight reduction leads to easier transportation, installation, and lower labor costs.

Faster Execution

Due to their lightness and ease of handling, polymeric formworks allow for quicker implementation in ceilings, columns, walls, etc., compared to traditional formworks (including metal and plywood), resulting in time and cost savings.

Ease of Installation

Polymeric concrete formworks can be easily connected using metal pins and wedges or special plastic handles, eliminating the hassles associated with installing traditional formworks.

No Need for Oiling

The smooth and non-stick surface of plastic formworks prevents concrete from adhering to them, eliminating the need for release oils. This feature not only reduces costs but also contributes to environmental protection.

Resistance to Environmental Conditions

Plastic formworks are resistant to moisture, corrosion, rust, and temperature changes, making them suitable for use in regions with diverse climatic conditions.

High Durability and Long Lifespan

Thanks to their resistance to environmental factors and wear, these formworks have a long lifespan and can be used in multiple projects without quality degradation.

Ease of Cleaning

After use, these formworks can be easily cleaned and prepared for reuse, enhancing productivity in construction projects. In fact, one of the most important advantages of polymeric formworks over metal ones is that concrete does not stick to them, and cleaning does not require oil.

Recyclability

At the end of their useful life, these formworks are recyclable, helping to reduce construction waste and preserve natural resources.

Economic Advantages of Plastic Concrete Formworks

Polymeric concrete pouring formworks offer numerous economic benefits, including:

Reduced maintenance and repair costs, as well as shorter project execution times.
Reusability in various projects (up to 50 times, provided proper usage guidelines are followed).
Lower transportation costs due to lightweight design.

Disadvantages of Plastic Concrete Formwork

Plastic concrete formworks can sustain damage over time and after repeated use (they are not suitable for permanent use).
They are not malleable; in case of impact causing cracks or bending, they cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
Polymeric concrete formworks cannot be welded if broken.
Their use is generally not recommended for tall heights (columns and walls over 3 meters).
These formworks require more bracing compared to metal ones.

Applications of Plastic Concrete Formworks

Plastic concrete formworks are used in various construction and civil engineering projects, including:

Concrete Wall Construction: Creating smooth and seamless walls is possible with these formworks.
Concrete Column Execution: Building columns with diverse shapes and dimensions with high precision.
Concrete Ceiling Construction: Executing high-quality ceilings quickly.
Bridge and Large Structure Construction: Due to high resistance and durability, they are used in bridges and large structures.
Water Channels: Flat polymeric formworks can be used for concreting cement walls of water channels.
Foundation Execution: Polymeric formworks enable fast and high-quality foundation concreting.

Broader Applications of Plastic Concrete Formworks

Temporary Structures: Due to their light weight and easy installation, plastic formworks are suitable for temporary structures such as exhibition booths, platforms, and temporary walls.

Use in Earthquake-Prone Areas: Thanks to their flexibility and appropriate pressure tolerance, these formworks are ideal for structures requiring high stability in seismic zones.

Complex and Custom Structures: For special architectural projects needing intricate and customized shapes, plastic formworks are favored due to their design and production flexibility.

Material of Plastic Concrete Formwork

In general, plastic (polymeric) concrete formworks are made from polymeric materials such as ABS and impact-resistant polypropylene, in various quality grades. Different quality grades affect the resistance, weight, and overall quality of the final product.

Different Designs of Plastic Concrete Formwork

Arka polymeric formworks are produced in two designs: checkered and diamond.

Checkered Design

The checkered design features checkered lines with three braces on the back of the formwork and 8 mm injection lines. The formwork edges are 8 mm thick. Known as the “special export or heavy-duty industrial design,” it is the strongest and most resistant type, ideal for columns, ceilings, foundations, and shear walls.

Diamond Design

The diamond design has diamond lines with injection lines ranging from 10 mm to 8 mm, and 8 mm edges in some areas. Recognized as the standard design suitable for slabs or ceilings, it has lower resistance compared to the checkered design.

Using Plastic Formwork Instead of Plywood

Plastic concrete formworks have become a popular replacement for plywood due to lower weight, higher durability, and greater resistance to wind and environmental conditions. Unlike plywood, which has lower strength, these are made from compressed polymers with a long lifespan. Wooden formworks produce significant waste over time and swell due to moisture absorption, but this does not occur with polymeric formworks. Installation of plastic formworks is easier than plywood. Although the initial cost may be higher than plywood, their high durability and performance—especially in wall and slab ceiling formworking—make them an economical and efficient choice.

Installation and Connection Method for Polymeric Concrete Formworks

Connecting Two Polymeric Formworks: Connection can be done using pins and wedges or special polymeric handles. For handle connection, place the two formworks side by side (with connection openings facing each other), then insert the special polymeric handle through the openings to securely lock them together. We recommend watching the video below for familiarity with the connection method.

Connecting Polymeric to Metal Formwork: To connect a polymeric formwork to a metal one, use pins and wedges instead of the polymeric handle; strike the wedge to lock them together.
