What is Pro-Form Lite film faced plywood?
Pro-Form Lite is Vinawood's economical-tier film faced plywood, built with mixed-grade hardwood core and high-performance phenolic glue. It is engineered for European and North American formwork projects where the budget envelope is tighter than premium grades, while still delivering up to 15 reuses under typical site conditions.
How many reuses can Pro-Form Lite deliver?
Up to 15 reuses, depending on site handling, edge sealing, release agent discipline, and pour temperatures. Reuse counts are maximums, not guarantees — careful stripping and storage extend service life materially.
What sizes and thicknesses are available?
Pro-Form Lite is stocked in 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, and 21mm thicknesses, in both imperial 2440x1220mm (4ft x 8ft) and European 2500x1250mm panel formats. Other thickness/size combinations can be made to order.
What certifications does Pro-Form Lite carry?
Pro-Form Lite is CE marked, FSC certified, REACH compliant, and CARB Phase 2 compliant for formaldehyde emissions. Lab-tested mechanical properties meet EN 636 / EN 13986 plywood standards used across the EU.
How does Pro-Form Lite differ from Pro-Form?
Pro-Form is the standard line and reaches up to 20 reuses. Pro-Form Lite shares the same construction philosophy but uses a mixed-grade hardwood core and a slightly thinner phenolic film, putting reuse maximums closer to 15. The price difference reflects the materials gap, so Pro-Form Lite suits cost-driven projects while Pro-Form suits demanding pours.
How do I get factory-direct pricing?
Request a quote with your panel size, thickness, target market, and approximate volume. Vinawood ships FOB Ho Chi Minh City to 55+ countries; lead times typically run 3–4 weeks from PO.
