Red glue plywood is a WBP-bonded panel made with red-pigmented modified melamine glue. The colour sits in the adhesive, not on the surface — there is no coating and no film. The face is sanded wood, and the bond is WBP, which is what lets the panel work outdoors and on wet sites.
The face is sanded natural wood grain, pine or eucalyptus. We press it on our own lines in Zhangzhou — 4,000 m² of gluing, hot pressing and packing, 35 containers a month. Everything ships FOB Xiamen or CIF to your discharge port.
Where this panel goes
- Concrete formwork — low-rise buildings, residential, single-storey slabs, precast yards
- Scaffolding boards
- Site hoarding
- Roofing and flooring
- Packing and crating
- Container and truck flooring
Why buyers reorder
- Melamine WBP glue — no delamination on wet sites, in the rain, or in storage between pours
- Sealed edges — moisture stays out of the core, which is where cheap panels fail first
- Red-pigmented glue — the colour is in the adhesive, not in a coating that wears off
- Own plant in Zhangzhou — 4,000 m² of gluing, pressing and packing lines, 35 containers a month. We are the factory, not a trading company
Pick your thickness
| Thickness | Where it works | Loading per 40HQ |
| 12 mm | Ground slabs, edge forms, kickers, temporary work | 2,470 sheets (28.5 t) |
| 15 mm | Standard slab work, low to mid-rise | 1,840 sheets (28.5 t) |
| 18 mm | Multi-storey slabs and columns, wide prop spacing | 1,452 sheets (26.1 t) |
Tell us the slab thickness, the storey count and how the panels will be stripped. We will say which thickness fits — and whether this panel is the right one for the job at all.
Core: pine or eucalyptus
Pine core — lighter, cheaper per panel, three to four pours.
Eucalyptus core — denser, holds screws and edges better, four to five pours. Costs more per panel and costs less per pour once you get past four cycles.
Blended core — pine and eucalyptus mixed — is a standard option: select it above.

Questions buyers ask
Is this film faced?
No. This is red glue plywood — WBP bonded, no film coating. We also supply film faced board for high-cycle formwork; tell us your cycle count and we will quote it separately.
Why is the panel red?
The glue is red — a red-pigmented modified melamine WBP adhesive. Nothing is coated on the face, so there is no colour layer to peel or wear off.
How many pours will I get?
Three to four on pine core, four to five on eucalyptus — with a release agent and proper stripping. If your project runs more cycles than that, film faced is the better buy: we supply both, so we will tell you which one actually costs you less per pour.
Can you print our logo?
Yes. It is spray-painted on the end face of each bundle, so your brand shows the moment the container is opened. No film involved.
Do you have certificates?
We issue Form E and RCEP certificates of origin for your customs broker, plus packing list and fumigation certificate. We do not hold CE, AS 6669 or FSC.
