The Process of Making PAC Shuttering Boards: From Timber to Construction Site
Blog Article
In the dynamic world of construction, materials that offer durability, sustainability, and efficiency are crucial for building long-lasting structures. One such innovation is the PAC® Shuttering Board, a revolutionary alternative to traditional timber shuttering. At Shuttering Board, a division of Rajratan Industries, we take pride in being the largest manufacturer and supplier of PAC® Shuttering Boards in India.
But how exactly are PAC® boards made? What makes them superior to timber? Let’s explore the process of making PAC shuttering boards—from timber origins to their final role at construction sites.
What is PAC®?
PAC® stands for Plastic Aluminium Composite, a specially engineered material created using a high-strength blend of:
-
Industrial-grade plastics (PP, LDPE & HDPE)
-
Aluminium oxide
-
Reinforced fibres
-
XLP metals
These elements are fused under extreme pressure and temperature to form boards that offer superior strength, water resistance, and reusability compared to traditional plywood or timber shuttering.
The Transformation: From Timber Concept to Advanced Composite
While traditional shuttering started with timber, PAC® boards represent an evolution. Here’s how the process works:
1. Material Selection and Preparation
The journey begins with the sourcing of industrial-grade recycled plastics and metal components. Unlike timber, which contributes to deforestation, PAC® boards repurpose waste materials—making them an eco-friendly option.
2. Composite Formation Under Pressure
The prepared plastic and aluminium compounds are blended with fibres and XLP metals. This mixture is then subjected to high-pressure and high-temperature molding, resulting in dense, high-strength boards.
3. Precision Shaping and Sizing
At Shuttering Board, we offer custom sizes and specifications to suit the unique needs of diverse construction projects. The molded composite is cut with industrial precision to meet architectural and structural requirements.
4. Quality Assurance and Testing
Every PAC® board undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets strength, durability, and dimensional standards. This step guarantees consistent performance on-site, even after multiple uses.
5. Delivery to the Construction Site
Once ready, the PAC® shuttering boards are shipped to construction sites, where they’re used in formwork systems for casting concrete. They offer easy installation, minimal maintenance, and excellent reusability—up to 100 times more than timber!
