In recent years, with the promotion of green building, aluminum formwork conforms to the trend and develops strongly in the constructional field, gradually replacing the wooden formwork and welcoming the explosion. At the same time, its application scope is gradually expanded, extending from civil buildings to public buildings, subway, tunnel and other projects also began to use aluminum formwork, the domestic large estate developers such as poly, vanke and country garden are large-scale application, aluminum formwork industry has gradually formed a perfect construction system.

Why aluminum formwork industry welcomes outbreak growth in recent years,mainly thanks to its advantages of product performance, technical application and economic costs.

NO. 1
Performance advantages

Aluminum formwork is lighter in weight than steel formwork, easy to assemble and turn around, and has a good effect in structure formation. Aluminum formwork has been successfully promoted in European and American countries for more than 10 years, and it has been widely used in Hong Kong and Macao.

The actual application of aluminum formwork such as : sunshade on the roof of natatorium, factory building of chemical industry, stadium (bird's nest). The overseas Toyota museum, the university of Connecticut and the university of Hawaii's arena, bell sports center are

practical applications in the real life.  

NO.2
Technical advantages

Due to the light weight of the aluminum formwork and the good condition of the formwork to bear the pressure, it is very convenient for the work of concrete mechanization and rapid construction. Using the technique of the standard formwork with the partial non-standard formwork and collecting and numbering on the non-standard formwork, the standard formwork of the same component can be mixed, which makes the assembling speed faster. Aluminum formwork in the process of disassembly operation is also more simple, disassembly and installation speed faster; The formworks are fixed with pins between them and the installation is much more convenient.

Because of the early disassembly design, the horizontal formwork can be removed after 36 hours. When the formwork is installed, it is provided with a platform for multi-stage operation, which is easy to move, so as to ensure the safety of the workers during the installation and disassembly of the formwork. The surface quality of the concrete is very good after the aluminum formwork is removed. According to the plan, the formwork installation can be made smooth and firm, and the concrete surface can achieve the effect of fair-faced concrete.

Cost  advantages

Aluminum formwork is not like wooden formwork which can only be used once to deform. By contrast, aluminum formwork is used more often. The number of times used in the construction of all-aluminum alloy formwork is significantly higher than that of steel formwork, wood formwork, combined large formwork, etc., which has significant advantages in the construction of super high-rise buildings with high floors. After accounting, a set of all aluminum alloy formwork as long as the number of times are used more than 50 times, which cost is equal to the traditional wooden formwork.

Another advantage is to save time, reduce the rental of large equipment, compared with other formwork, aluminum formwork has many advantages such as convenient, fast. In the construction process of the structure layer of the project, the aluminum formwork saves an average of two days for each layer.

In the construction process of aluminum formwork application without plastering, the cost reduces very big ,the effect of structural surface can achieve the effect of fair-faced concrete , at the stage of decoration, inside wall can omit plastering and the working procedure that is smooth and flat, directly eliminate the quality defects that inside wall plastering is vacuoles and cracks.

After the replacement of wood, steel, bamboo, plastic and other formwork materials, aluminum formwork as the fifth generation of new building formwork materials, with its unique advantages, become a new favorite in the formwork industry.
