VIETNAM FILM FACED PLYWOOD: 5 KEY DIFFERENCES

Vietnam Film-Coated Plywood is increasingly popular in the global market. Its rise in popularity is due to distinctive characteristics that set it apart from plywood from other countries. Here are five unique features that make Vietnam Film-Faced Plywood a preferred choice for many users.

1. Vietnam Film-Faced Plywood use Vietnamese hardwood material

Vietnam, being a tropical country, primarily sources wood from hardwood species. Eucalyptus, Acacia, Rubber, and Styrax are the most common and abundant species used in plywood manufacturing, exporting in large quantities to China. Their advantages include easy cultivation, a moderate life cycle, strength, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for Vietnam’s tropical climate. They are widely grown in Vietnam’s forest plantations.

2. Vietnam Plywood has a good price

Due to low labor costs and abundant wood resources, Vietnam Film-Coated Plywood is a competitive choice. It matches the quality of plywood from other countries but at a better price. Eucalyptus core veneer is widely used in premium Chinese plywood. Nearly half of China’s eucalyptus veneer supply comes from Vietnam. This veneer is subject to a 10% export duty, adding to the final cost. Therefore, Vietnam Film-Faced Plywood often has a better price for the same quality. Prices usually range from $300 to $450 per cubic meter, FOB Haiphong Port. The exact price depends on thickness and quality requirements.

3. This product is strong and durable

Using hardwood cores like Acacia and Eucalyptus is ideal for construction plywood. A 100% Eucalyptus core works especially well. Builders can reuse Film-Faced Plywood made from these materials up to 25 times. This benefit is valuable for construction formwork. In China, only high-quality film-faced plywood features hardwood cores. In Vietnam, manufacturers use 100% hardwood for all plywood.

4. Vietnam Film Faced Plywood has various qualities and sizes

Each market has unique quality requirements and characteristics. For example, Malaysia demands single-side film-coated plywood. Korea and Japan prefer double-side film-faced plywood that can be reused 6-8 times. Middle Eastern customers require plywood that meets standard reuse of 8-10 times. The US and European customers have high standards for quality and certifications.
Despite these varying requirements, Vietnamese plywood manufacturers meet all these demands. Kego Company leads as a top Film-Faced Plywood manufacturer and exporter in Vietnam. Kego supplies a range of FFP qualities to many global markets, including Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Germany.

5. Safe and sustainable supply chain

Vietnam is known for its peaceful and cooperative nature. This reputation helps establish strong relationships with many countries, providing trade advantages. Agreements like EVFTA, CPTPP, ACFTA, VJEPA, and VKFTA facilitate trade. These agreements can lower import-export duties for Vietnamese plywood products to 0% with many countries and regions. This reduction boosts trade.

Also, Vietnam always keeps peace and cooperation with all countries in the world; the Government is focusing on promoting exporting and international trade, thus there’s no reason for any other country to impose any barrier with Vietnam’s products and Vietnamese plywood.
