A PAC® Shuttering Board** is a high-performance, recycled plastic-aluminium composite sheet designed to replace traditional plywood and steel plates in high-rise concrete construction.

If you are a contractor or builder managing a 15-story or 30-story residential or commercial project in India, you already know the daily headaches of concrete formwork. Standard plywood sheets swell up after three or four rains. They warp, the edges chip, and after five to ten slabs, they are fit for nothing but the scrap heap. Carrying heavy, water-logged plywood up twenty floors wastes time, labor, and money.

This is why modern high-rise projects are shifting to the **Rajratan PAC Shuttering Board**. Made by Rajratan Industries Private Limited in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, this board is engineered specifically to handle the extreme pressure, moisture, and repetition of Indian high-rise construction.

What is PAC® and Why is it Different?

PAC® (Plastic Aluminium Composite) is an industrial-grade recycled material made of virgin industrial plastics reinforced with aluminium oxide, cotton fibers, and cross-linked polymers (XLP) metals.

Unlike cheap, hollow [Plastic Shuttering Sheet] options in the market that bend under the weight of wet concrete, PAC is a solid, dense composite. Rajratan has been in the sustainable manufacturing and recycling sector since 1994, building on a legacy that dates back to 1973. This industrial experience goes into every single sheet.

The composition of the board gives it a unique balance of flexibility and strength:

Industrial Plastics (PP, LDPE, HDPE):** Make the board 100% waterproof. It will never absorb slurry water or swell.

Aluminium Oxide & XLP Metals: Provide incredible surface hardness and structural stiffness. The board does not sag under concrete load.

Cotton Fibers: Act as internal reinforcement, preventing the board from cracking or splitting when your labor hammers nails into it.

The Grade Breakdown: ECOPRIME Standard vs. Premium

Rajratan manufactures PAC shuttering boards in two distinct high-performance grades, plus a heavy-duty thickness, designed to fit different budget and repetition requirements on-site.

Feature	ECOPRIME Standard (Marble White)	ECOPRIME Premium (Marble Black)
Composition	60% Mix Plastic, 25% Al Oxide, 15% XLP Metals	52% Mix Plastic, 23% Al Oxide, 25% XLP Metals
Density	1100 kg/m³	1320 kg/m³
Weight (8×4 ft, 12mm)	~40 kg per sheet	~45 kg per sheet
Repetitions	30 to 40 times	60+ times (up to 100 on flat deck)
Price (12mm)	₹80 per sq. ft. (~₹2,560 / sheet)	₹90 per sq. ft. (~₹2,880 / sheet)

ECOPRIME Standard (Marble White)

This is our entry-level [Plastic Centering Board]. It is ideal for mid-rise projects or standard slabs where you expect 30 to 40 repetitions. At ₹80 per square foot, it offers a fast payback on your investment.

ECOPRIME Premium (Marble Black)

This is the ultimate [PAC Formwork Board] for high-rise towers. It has a higher concentration of XLP metals (25%), making it heavier (45 kg) and stiffer. It easily delivers 60+ repetitions. If your site team maintains the leveling properly, this board can go up to 100 repetitions. At ₹90 per square foot, it is the most cost-effective choice for long-term projects.

18mm Shuttering Board

For heavy RCC columns, retaining walls, shear walls, and bridge projects, we offer our heavy-duty 18mm thickness at ₹125 per square foot. It handles massive concrete pressure without bulging.

Why High-Rise Projects Need PAC Over Plywood (The Cost-Per-Use Math)

High-rise construction projects benefit significantly from PAC shuttering boards because their high reuse rate reduces the cost-per-slab by up to 70% compared to traditional plywood.

Let’s look at the real-world math that project managers care about:

The Plywood Math

* Average cost of decent shuttering plywood: ₹45 per sq. ft.

* Average repetitions: 6 times.

* Cost per use: ₹7.50 per sq. ft. per slab.**

* Hidden costs:* You have to buy new plywood multiple times for a 30-story building, paying for loading, unloading, and transport each time. Plus, the scrap value of rotten plywood is zero.

The Rajratan PAC Premium Math

* Cost of ECOPRIME Premium board: ₹90 per sq. ft.

* Average repetitions: 60 times.

* Cost per use: ₹1.50 per sq. ft. per slab.**

* The Buyback Advantage: Rajratan offers a **40% Buyback Replacement Guarantee**. When your boards finally wear out after years of use, we buy them back at 40% of their value against your next purchase. This reduces your actual net cost to just ₹54 per sq. ft., bringing your net cost per use down to less than ₹1.00!**

On-Site Handling and Workability: Addressing Contractor DoubtS

Rajratan PAC plastic shuttering sheets can be nailed, cut, sawed, and drilled using standard carpentry tools just like traditional plywood.

We talk to site engineers every day, and we know the common doubts. Here is how our [Recycled Plastic Shuttering Board] behaves on a live construction site:

Will it crack when we hammer nails?

No. Cheap PVC boards crack or shatter when nailed near the edges. Because Rajratan PAC contains cross-linked polymers and cotton fibers, it holds nails tightly without splitting. Your carpenters can use their regular hammers and saws.

Does it require shuttering oil?

Plywood absorbs moisture and sticks to concrete, requiring heavy oiling. PAC is naturally non-bonding. You need very little to no oil. When you de-shutter, the board slips off easily, leaving a smooth, mirror-like marble finish on the concrete. This saves you the cost of plastering.

Is it too heavy for labor to carry?

A 12mm ECOPRIME Premium sheet weighs about 45 kg. Yes, it is heavier than low-grade hollow plastic sheets, but that weight is the proof of its solid density. It does not sag or bend under the weight of concrete and vibrator needles. Your labor will quickly get used to the solid feel because the boards do not warp or gain water weight over time.

Commercial Terms, Logistics, and Trial Orders

Rajratan Industries ships PAC shuttering boards directly from their Indore factory to construction sites across India with clear payment and trial policies.

Production & Delivery: We manufacture to order. Once your order is locked, production starts immediately. It takes about 2 days to reach nearby states and 4 to 5 days for the rest of India.

Payment Terms: Our standard policy is **30% Advance Payment and 70% Balance Payment before dispatch We do not offer Cash on Delivery (COD) because we use third-party logistics companies (like VRL Logistics, TCI Freight, and ACPL) who do not collect cash.

Start with a Trial: We do not ask you to buy a full truckload on day one. We highly recommend starting with a **trial order of 5 to 10 sheets**. Let your carpenters cut them, nail them, pour concrete, and see the finish on your own site.
