The Crown 43 brand has had proven success for over 20 years.  Our proprietary high resin MDO produces a uniform matte finish concrete and provides the level of quality expected from our Crown brand of Concrete Form panels.

Features & Benefits

17.5 mm Crown 43 is a Douglas fir panel that meets or exceeds CSA O121 for MDO Concrete Form.  The high resin content MDO is applied in a one-step process.  All adhesives are fully waterproof phenolic resins that meet CSA exterior glue bond standards.

Available in 1220 mm x 2440 mm and 610 mm x 2440 mm in 17.5 mm 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.

  • Matte MDO Paper
    Crown 43 panels come engineered with a matte MDO, ensuring a more durable working face than non-overlaid concrete form panels.

  • Douglas Fir Construction
    We use Douglas Fir for our Crown 43 panels which is a strong, Group-1 wood species, engineered to give you strength where you really need it.

  • 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 43 panels are edge puttied, then coated with a light blue, aluminized, resin-rich alkyd edge seal.

  • Factory-Applied Release Agent
    Crown 43 panels come factory coated with Nox-Crete Form Coating, a high quality, water-based, chemically active release agent.
