PAC Shuttering Board Price & Specifications: Complete Cost Breakdown for Construction

Looking for durable, reusable shuttering boards that eliminate timber replacement costs? PAC shuttering boards deliver 60+ reuse cycles, zero water absorption, and a 40% buyback mechanism—transforming your formwork economics.

PAC Shuttering Board Pricing & Variants

Rajratan offers three engineered shuttering board grades, priced transparently to reflect structural durability, density, and reuse cycles. All boards are manufactured from 100% pure industrial packaging waste (sourced from major FMCG lines like Patanjali and Nestlé) reinforced with metal dust powder, aluminum oxide, and XLP fiber—achieving certified density of 1,130–1,150 kg/m³.

Board GradeThicknessPrice/sq.ft.Sheet Cost (8ft × 4ft)WeightReuse CyclesBest Use Case
EcoPrime Standard White12mm₹80₹2,560~40 kg30–40Residential slabs, general centering
EcoPrime Premium Black12mm₹90₹2,880~45 kg60+High-rise, bridges, hydro-dams, heavy RCC
Heavy Column Formwork Board18mm₹125₹4,000~60 kg60+Large columns (6ft × 6ft), retaining walls

Base prices exclude GST and freight. Bulk discounts: 50+ sheets = 7% off; 200+ sheets (full truck, ~600 sheets) = 10% off, reducing rates to ₹72–₹81/sq.ft.

Technical Specifications & Certified Performance

Every PAC board is tested by NABL-accredited laboratories (Choksi Laboratories, STEDRANT Technoclinic) against Indian Standards (IS 1734). These certifications prove structural integrity and durability—eliminating hidden defects common in unorganized low-grade plastic boards.

PropertyCertified ValueStandardImplication for Contractors
Density1,130–1,150 kg/m³IS 1734 (Part 1)3–5× denser than low-grade scrap. Zero dimensional creep under loads.
Compressive Strength22.0 N/mm²IS 1734 (Part 1-20)Supports static vertical load of 7,500 kg per sheet without crushing.
Tensile Strength11.30–11.89 N/mm²IS 1734 (Part 9)Prevents splitting or cracking during extraction from deep formwork.
Water Absorption0% (Zero Swelling)IS 1734 (Part 6)No warping, delamination, or surface blistering in wet conditions (infinite submersion).

ROI Comparison: PAC Boards vs. Timber Plywood

Timber plywood costs appear cheaper upfront—but true cost emerges in the reuse economics.

Cost FactorTimber Plywood (₹50/sq.ft.)PAC Shuttering Board (₹80/sq.ft.)Net Advantage
Initial Price Per Sheet₹1,600₹2,560Timber = ₹960 cheaper upfront
Reuse Cycles Achieved2–4 (warping, rot, swelling)30–40 (White) / 60+ (Black)PAC = 10–20× more reuses
Cost Per Reuse Cycle₹400–₹800 per use₹64–₹85 per use (White) / ₹40–₹53 (Black)PAC = 5–10× cheaper per cycle
Scrap Value at End-of-Life₹0–₹100 (landfill waste)₹1,024 (40% of ₹2,560 returned as credit)PAC = ₹1,024 buyback advantage
Total Cost for 40 Pours (Example Project)₹16,000–₹32,000 (10 timber sheets replacing every 4 pours)₹2,560 + ₹1,024 buyback = ₹1,536 netPAC saves ₹14,464–₹30,464 per project

The 40% Buyback Credit Mechanism

After 40–60 reuse cycles, PAC boards naturally reach end-of-serviceable-life (though they remain structurally intact). Instead of disposal, Rajratan accepts old boards and credits 40% of the original purchase price toward new inventory.

Example Cycle:

  • Purchase 10 sheets of Premium Black @ ₹2,880/sheet = ₹28,800 total cost
  • Complete 60 concrete pours over 3–4 years
  • Return 10 sheets to Rajratan
  • Receive ₹11,520 credit (40% of ₹28,800)
  • New 10-sheet order costs only ₹17,280 (60% of original price)

Logistics, Delivery & Payment Terms

Nationwide Delivery Partners: TCI Freight, VRL Logistics, ACPL, BRL Logistics

Shipment Advantage: PAC boards are indestructible during loose-sheet transport—no packing boxes required, reducing freight weight and cost by 30–40% versus boxed plywood.

Payment & Credit Policy:

  • Trial orders (5–50 sheets): 100% advance payment, ship within 48 hours
  • Bulk orders (50+ sheets): 30% advance booking + 70% payment against LR/Bilty before dispatch
  • Zero COD or credit terms permitted (due to third-party logistics dependencies)
  • Dispatch originating from Indore, MP (with dealer networks in Bengaluru)

Water Resistance & Workability: Answering Your Objections

Objection: “Will the boards swell or delaminate in monsoon formwork?”

Answer: Zero. PAC boards have zero water absorption, certified by NABL labs. Moisture content stabilizes at 0.33–0.64% regardless of submersion duration. No swelling, warping, or delamination—even in infinite water exposure. Timber plywood swells 5–8% in humidity, distorting concrete finishes and requiring secondary plastering.

Objection: “Can we really nail and cut these like plywood
