Formtex® (CPF) Liners

Formtex® is a two-sided Controlled Permeability Formwork (CPF) liner, with a permeable side that allows water and air to pass through and a filter side with a pore size designed to retain cement particles. The main function of Formtex® CPF liners is to drain surplus water and air from the surface of freshly placed concrete during compaction. When water is drained, the water/cement (w/c) ratio in the concrete cover is reduced, which considerably improves the strength and durability of the concrete. This premium quality material not only improves concrete durability, but also extends the lifetime of structures and reduces construction and maintenance costs. Some of the world’s most spectacular bridges, harbours and impressive constructions have been built utilising Formtex®.
