Plastic Formwork (Base) | Office buildings, light industrial projects | - Material: Plastic (1.2 g/cm³, ASTM D792) - Reusable: 30 cycles (ISO 178) - Stability: 50 MPa compressive strength (ASTM C39) - CE Certified | ▲ Lightweight (50% lighter than steel) Cost-effective for short-term use | Lower load capacity Less durable than advanced versions |
Plastic Formwork (Advanced) | High-rise construction, heavy columns | - Material: Reinforced plastic (1.5 g/cm³, ▲ 25% stronger than Base) - Reusable: 50 cycles (▲ 66% increase) - Stability: 70 MPa (▲ 40%) - CE Certified | ▲ 40% higher strength than Base Optimized for heavy-duty applications | Slightly heavier than Base Higher upfront cost |
Steel Formwork | Large industrial projects, bridges | - Material: Steel (8.0 g/cm³) - Reusable: 100+ cycles - Stability: 250 MPa (ASTM A36) - CE Certified (optional) | ▲ Highest load capacity (5x stronger than plastic) Long lifespan | Heavy (3x denser than plastic) High maintenance costs |
Aluminum Formwork | Mid-scale construction, warehouses | - Material: Aluminum (2.7 g/cm³) - Reusable: 80 cycles (ASTM B211) - Stability: 90 MPa (ASTM B557) - CE Certified | ▲ 30% lighter than steel Corrosion-resistant | Moderate cost compared to plastic Less reusable than steel |
Wood Formwork | Small-scale, temporary structures | - Material: Wood (0.6 g/cm³) - Reusable: 10–15 cycles - Stability: 30 MPa (ASTM D638) - No CE certification | ▲ Cheapest upfront cost Easy to customize | Low durability Not CE-certified (safety risks) |
Composite Formwork | Specialty projects, chemical plants | - Material: Fiberglass-reinforced plastic (1.8 g/cm³) - Reusable: 40 cycles (ASTM D790) - Stability: 60 MPa (ASTM D695) - CE Certified | ▲ Chemical-resistant (ASTM D543) Lightweight durability | Complex recycling process Higher cost than plastic |
