Masonry, Stonework, Plastering, and Stone Product Manufacturing

Materials for cut stone and stone product manufacturing (NAICS 327991) and masonry contractors. (NAICS 238140)

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) panels can be used as a type of formwork system in masonry construction. HDPE formwork panels are lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture and chemicals. They provide smooth concrete finishes and are known for their reusable nature, contributing to cost savings and reduced waste generation. HDPE formwork panels have interlocking mechanisms that allow for quick assembly and disassembly.

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panels can also be utilized in certain formwork applications. FRP panels are lightweight yet strong and possess excellent dimensional stability. They can withstand the pressure exerted by concrete during the pouring process and maintain their shape. FRP formwork panels are known for their durability, resistance to moisture, and ease of demolding.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC can be used for formwork panels, especially in smaller-scale projects, or as secondary formwork.

Polycarbonate is a strong and transparent rigid plastic that can find applications in specialized situations to create transparent molds or components requiring high-impact resistance.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is another rigid plastic commonly used in these industries for constructing lightweight molds or formwork components.

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is often used for constructing reusable molds in various industries, including stone manufacturing.
