Features & Benefits

17.5 mm Crown 44 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 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.

  • Hi-Flow MDO Paper
    Crown 44 panels come standard with our high resin content Hi-Flow MDO, providing a more durable working face than our standard matte MDO options.

  • Optional Hardwood Faces
    Crown 44 panels are also available with hardwood faces and backs, providing a smoother pouring face and more durable panel than our softwood options.

  • 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 moisture protection, all panels are edge puttied then coated with a silver, aluminized, resin-rich alkyd edge seal.

  • Factory-Applied Release Agent
    Crown 44 panels come factory coated with Nox-Crete Form Coating, a high quality, water-based, chemically active release agent.
