FOR DURABILITY AND SUPERIOR CAST FINISH ENDURA PRO AND ENDURA

Aimed at the most demanding system shuttering and special formwork applications, Endura Pro and Endura panels are made for superior concrete cast finishes and multiple uses thanks to their highly durable thermoplastic overlays. The ideal option when faced with technically and architecturally challenging project.

A premium quality birch plywood core combined with a durable thermoplastic overlay gives Endura Pro and Endura lightness, stiffness, strength and incredible durability combined with high abrasion, crack and scratch resistance. Endura Pro and Endura withstand high concrete pressure with ease.

High quality birch plywood

Endura Pro • Up to 300 uses• High quality birch plywood core• Double sided ultra durable thermoplastic overlay• Extremely high abrasion resistance• High hardness and scratch resistance• No rippling• Standard and custom sizes + XL size• Thickness 12–30 mm

The thermoplastic surface is also easy to clean with water or steam and the Endura panels can be easily nailed and cut without surface cracking and splintering. These properties translate into superior results and endurance – Endura Pro will deliver a stunning 300 uses and Endura up to 200 uses of ripple free performance before they are recycled. For fewer joints and faster building, Endura Pro and Endura are also available in 6000 x 2200 mm XL size. Com-pared to competing solutions, Endura Pro and Endura offer price to quality ratio second to none.

PANEL HANDLING AND REPAIR

Metsä Wood Endura and FastForm panels can be nailed, fastened, cut, shaped and drilled using standard woodworking fasteners and tools. Seal the resulting raw edges with water resistant paint.

Use a high quality release agent to ensure easier and cleaner release. Clean the panels after each use to remove all concrete debris. Afterwards, apply a fresh coat of release agent prior to each subsequent use.

Endura and FastForm surfaces can be repaired with water resistant fillers or patching materials. The thick Endura Pro and Endura plastic surfaces can also be repaired with molten polymer and hot-melt adhesives according to special instructions.

GLUING

Metsä Wood Plywood panels are glued with weather and boil-proof phenolic resin adhesive(WBP, BFU, AW, exterior). The plywood panel gluing meets the requirements of the following international standards:• EN 314-2/class 3 (Exterior)• DIN 68705 Teil 3/BFU 100• BS 6566 part 8/type WBP

QUALITY CONTROL

In addition to Metsä Wood’s own quality control, the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland oversees production operations and the internal quality control at Metsä Wood plywood mills. External plywood quality control is conducted according to standard EN 13986 and its CE-marking rules in cooperation with VTT.

* The number of reuses is highly dependent on site practice, requirements of the concrete finish, the quality of release agent and the maintenance, handling and storage practices.
