An eco-friendly substitute for plywood, steel and PVC sheets in the concrete formwork industry.
PAC® Shuttering Board is pressed from industrial-grade plastics, aluminium oxide and cross-linked polymer metal, giving site teams a panel that survives 100+ pours without bending, swelling or rusting — and a buyback policy for when it finally retires.
A composite panel built to out-pour plywood
PAC® Shuttering Board is pressed from a precise mix of industrial-grade plastics (PP, LDPE, HDPE), aluminium oxide and cross-linked polymer (XLP) metal. The blend gives the panel the rigidity formwork needs and the chemical resistance plywood never had, so it can be poured against, stripped, hosed down and reused without losing its shape or its finish.
Where plywood softens after a dozen pours and steel corrodes on an open site, PAC® holds its surface and its dimensions for upward of a hundred repetitions — which is what brings the real cost-per-pour down for contractors who shutter often.
Six reasons it outlasts the alternatives
Waterproof
Takes on wet concrete and curing water without swelling or softening.
UV Resistant
Stays dimensionally stable through direct sun on fully open sites.
Durable, Easy to Clean
Wipes clean of cured concrete and release oil between every pour.
Won't Crack or Degrade
Holds its shape through repeated hydrostatic pressure and handling.
Recyclable
Made from, and returns to, the recycling stream at end of life.
Longer Service Life
Out-lasts plywood and PVC across comparable site conditions.
Three boards, one standard of strength
Pick the PAC® EcoPrime grade that matches the formwork on your site.
For Slabs, Walls & Columns
The entry grade for residential and small commercial sites — full PAC® performance at the lowest cost per pour.
For Beams & Retaining Walls
Rated for beams, retaining walls and bridge formwork on mid-to-large projects. 30–40 repetitions, Marble White finish.
For High-Rise & Heavy Infrastructure
The heavy-duty grade for tunnels, dams and high-rises — 60+ repetitions in a denser Marble Black composite.

Where contractors put PAC® to work
Column & Wall Formwork
Holds its line against hydrostatic pressure without bending, leaking or breaking.
Slab & Beam Formwork
Stays flat under heavy concrete loads, pour after pour, across the slab.
Pressed In-House
Every panel is manufactured under controlled heat and pressure at our own facility.
Multi-Storey & Industrial
Sustains repeated stress and vibration while holding dimensional accuracy.
Four reasons it earns a spot on the BOQ
Strength & Durability
The plastic-aluminium blend resists heavy loads and stays stable through every pour.
Lightweight & Easy to Handle
Lighter than plywood and steel, so crews assemble and strike formwork faster.
Weather Resistance
Rain, sun and temperature swings don't warp, swell or soften the panel.
Reusability & Cost-Effectiveness
High repetition counts spread the cost of the board across far more pours.
Getting the most out of every board
Simple site habits to extend service life and repetition count.
- Handle and stack boards properly before concreting, and whenever they're not in use.
- Apply a suitable form-release oil for a longer service life and a cleaner finish.
- Hose boards down after striking to clear concrete particles before re-stacking.
- Avoid dropping boards from a height onto their corners while de-shuttering.
On site with PAC®
From waste management to PAC® Shuttering Board
Rajratan Group was founded in 1973 by Ratanlalji Deepchandji Jain and has since grown into one of India's larger waste-management and construction-material businesses, advising both private and public sectors on converting waste into useful material for society.
Rajratan Industries Private Limited, based in Indore, manufactures the PAC® range under that same group — a comprehensive line built around customer requirements and backed by a satisfaction guarantee. PAC® Shuttering Board remains its flagship product: a smarter, stronger and more economical alternative to traditional plywood shuttering.
