An Introduction to Formliners
What is a Formliner?
Formliners help create your aesthetic vision by turning concrete into art.
Aluminium? Unbelievable, it ′ s… Concrete!

• PLASTIC FORM-LINERS • ELASTOMERIC FORM-LINERS
Types of Formliners
•
Available in Styrene (STY) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
•
Made using a vacuum forming process
•
Lightweight (about 0.4 pounds per square foot)
•
Typically, single usage
•
Limited designs
PLASTIC FORMLINER
•
Fixed Size: 4’ X 12’, 4’ x 8’ or 4’ x 10’
•
Approx. $1.50 - $5.00 per square foot
Mating form liner patterns partially hide seams.
• How to match form liner together
Examples of Plastic Formliners
Matching of Wood Grain Formliner – Top to Bottom
• Made from poly-urethane rubber • Flexible and stretchable • Available in high multi-use materials • Create almost any surface texture imaginable • $20.00 - $100.00 per square foot
ELASTOMERIC FORMLINERS

CAD drawings are developed. These are converted to 3D models for approval.
Drawings are converted
to CNC software
CNC Milling machines cut the design onto blank panels to create the impression
The master model surface is sealed. To create large panels, several parts can be joined together.
Liquid Polyurethane Rubber is poured onto the master and allowed to self level, avoiding air entrapment.
After 24 hours the liner can be de-molded but it will continue to cure for several days.
A tube is used to roll the liner.
This helps reduce any stress to the liner.

Care and Handling
Urethane rubber form liners Carbide worm drive • Steel or wood bits • E6000 rubber mender • Epoxy MV low solids
Plastic form liners • Band saw, table saw, knife
• Steel or wood bits • 3M spray adhesive • Double sided tape, staples,caulk
• Duplicate most any design • Flexible sizing • Longer Production Time • Advanced Planning & coordination required
