Advantages of aluminum formwork compared to traditional formwork

Features	Aluminum formwork	Traditional template
Reusable	Reusable ≥300 times without deformation during dismantling	Reusable ≤10 times
Ease of use	Lightweight, easy to handle, no need for cranes	Bulky, difficult to dismantle
Construction efficiency	One-time pouring, one floor every 4 days, requires few workers for pouring.	One floor every 7-8 days.
Concrete surface	Smooth surface, no need for plastering	May have defects like rough surface or honeycombing, requires plastering.
Deviation, accuracy	Minimal deviation, good accuracy	Deviation value is above 10 millimeters, and the formwork is prone to deformation and expansion.
Demolding	Has a patented coating that facilitates the application of demolding agent.	Easily adheres to concrete.
Cost	High reusability rate, low cost.	High cost
Recyclable value	Recyclable, high residual value.	Low
Cement joints	Small	Large
Seismic resistance	High	Low
Corrosion resistance	Excellent	Poor

After comparative analysis, the overall cost of aluminum formwork is significantly lower compared to traditional formwork, saving a considerable amount of costs for construction projects.

Applications of aluminum formwork

High-rise buildings: Aluminum formwork has excellent load-bearing capacity and durability, making it ideal for construction of buildings with 17 floors or more.

Bridges and tunnels: The lightweight of aluminum formwork can reduce the load on bridge and tunnel structures.

Water conservancy projects: Aluminum formwork is corrosion-resistant and suitable for construction in water conservancy projects.

Industrial buildings: Aluminum formwork allows for fast construction, reducing the construction period of industrial buildings.

High-end residential and townhouses: With complex structures, aluminum formwork can meet the construction needs of different structures.

Applications of aluminum formwork

Technical support for aluminum formwork

Aluminum formwork construction process

1. Setting up wall reinforcement: Wall reinforcement is used to form the structure of the building and provide support for the concrete.

2. Placing the formwork: The formwork can be easily assembled on-site using a system of nails and wedges.

3. Pouring concrete: After placing the formwork, pour freshly mixed concrete into it to shape it.

4. Removing the formwork: Remove the formwork after 24 hours, leaving the floor formwork in place for 2.5 days and the columns in place for 7 days.

Assembly instructions for aluminum formwork

1. Check all aluminum formwork components for any damage.

2. Verify the quantity and model of aluminum formwork are correct.

3. Handle aluminum formwork with care during transportation to avoid collisions.

4. Ensure the surface of the aluminum formwork is clean before assembly.

5. Do not climb or step on the formwork.

Precautions for applying formwork release agent

Choose a specialized water-based formwork release agent to ensure compatibility and effective release with aluminum formwork.
Before applying the release agent, clean the formwork surface thoroughly to remove all dirt, grease, dust, and debris.
Control the amount of application, avoiding excessive or insufficient application to ensure even coverage of the formwork surface.
Maintain the application time within the appropriate range to prevent the release agent from drying too quickly.
It is recommended to apply a thickness of 30-50 microns, which can be adjusted based on actual conditions.
After applying the release agent, allow it to dry completely before pouring the concrete.
Formwork release agents have some volatility, so they should be used in a well-ventilated environment.
