As global construction projects look for durable and reusable formwork solutions, PAC® Shuttering Boards offer an alternative to conventional timber plywood.
With moisture resistance, repeated-use potential and timber-like workability, PAC® boards can be considered for construction markets where formwork durability and material efficiency are important.
Export Compliance & Certification
PAC® Shuttering Boards are supported by laboratory testing based on Indian standards, including IS 1734 test methods.
For international exports, buyers and importers should verify the specific certification and compliance requirements of their destination country before procurement.
Potential markets include:
- Middle East
- Southeast Asia
- Africa
- Europe
- North America
The exact certification requirements may vary by country and application.
PAC® vs. Conventional Timber Formwork
Feature | PAC® Shuttering Board | Timber Plywood |
Reuse potential | 40–60+ cycles* | Generally lower |
Moisture resistance | High | Can swell with moisture |
Workability | Cut, nail and screw | Cut, nail and screw |
Buyback | 40% program* | Usually unavailable |
Suitable applications | RCC, walls, slabs, columns | General formwork |
*Actual performance depends on grade, handling and application.
Why PAC® Can Be Considered for Export Markets
PAC® Shuttering Boards can offer several practical advantages for international contractors:
Moisture Resistance
The boards are designed to resist moisture-related swelling and deterioration, making them relevant for humid and moisture-prone construction environments.
Reusability
Multiple reuse cycles can help reduce the frequency of formwork replacement and improve material utilisation.
Familiar Workability
PAC® boards can be cut, drilled and fastened using methods similar to timber plywood, reducing the need for specialised tools.
Circular Material Approach
The boards are manufactured using industrial packaging material, while the applicable 40% buyback program can provide an end-of-life recovery option.
Potential Export Regions
PAC® Shuttering Boards can be explored for projects across:
Middle East: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman
Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines
Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and other developing construction markets
Europe & North America: Subject to destination-specific product certification and import requirements.
Conclusion
PAC® Shuttering Boards combine reusability, moisture resistance and familiar timber-like workability, making them a potential alternative for international formwork applications.
For export orders, product specifications, certification requirements, HSN/export classification, freight and destination-country regulations should be confirmed before shipment.
