Why do wooden templates need to be edge-sealed?

Usually when processing the wooden template, it is necessary to seal the edge, which is to brush a layer of water-resistant paint on its exposed surface to prevent water from seeping into the material. So, what is the main function of the edge banding of the wooden formwork?

 

In fact, one of the functions of edge banding is waterproofing. Use waterproof ingredients to seal the edges to block outside moisture and even moisture to prevent the material from seeping and damp. If the wooden formwork is not stored in place, it will cause greater losses. The wooden formwork supports on-site cutting. If it is found to be inappropriate in size during the construction process, it can be processed directly. However, it must be waterproofed before reactivation, and the edge sealing is for better use. Generally, the surface of the wooden template will be coated with some materials that facilitate demoulding.

 

Another function of the edge banding is to keep the surface smooth, so that it feels comfortable both from the senses and during use. When cutting, it is inevitable that there will be burrs. In addition to cleaning the surface, some water-resistant phenolic materials are also used. This can also block the air and prevent the material from oxidizing. Ventilate the material house to prevent moisture, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent dryness. The clean water template can be used for a long time if it is handled well, and it will cause serious losses if it is not properly preserved. The correct use of wooden formwork is also to ensure the complete presentation of the properties of the concrete, because the length of the demoulding time will directly affect the hardness and plasticity of the concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to seal the edges of the wooden formwork in time.
