Using the most current Concrete Form MDO technology, our Crown 48 employs a proven Melamine MDO. This high resin content Melamine MDO is more alkaline resistant than traditional phenolic resin based concrete form MDO providing a more durable panel for your job site requirements.
Features & Benefits
Crown 48 is constructed with high strength Douglas fir veneer. The high resin content Melamine MDO is applied in a one-step process. All adhesives used are fully waterproof phenolic resins that meet CSA exterior glue bond standards.
Available in 1220 x 2440 mm and 610 x 2440 mm in 17.5mm thickness
CSA Certified Panel
All of our products are built to meet CSA O121 for Douglas Fir Plywood and undergo rigorous inspection and testing by our Quality Control team.Optional Hardwood Faces
Crown 48 panels are also available with hardwood faces and backs, providing a smoother pouring face and more durable panel than our softwood options.

Crown 48 is manufactured with a special Melamine MDO which stands up to high-alkaline concrete mixes better than traditional phenolic based concrete form MDO.
Two Piece Inner Plies
Our two piece, Douglas fir inner ply construction method is engineered to provide a more solid panel that can better stand up to job site wear and tear.Multi-Layer Edge Protection
For additional protection against moisture, all Crown 48 panels are edge puttied and then thoroughly coated with a dark blue, aluminized, resin-rich alkyd edge seal.Factory-Applied Release Agent
Crown 48 panels come factory coated with Nox-Crete Form Coating, a high quality, water-based, chemically active release agent.
