Possible frequency of use depends on many factors
acting on the formwork sheet. Given optimum condi-

and shrinkage of wood associated with moisture
absorption and loss in the corresponding climatic con-
ditions.
➤ Prior to use, always make sure that the wood mois-
ture content of the formwork sheets is matched to
that of the surroundings.
➤ Cover sheets to protect them from extreme climatic
influences such as exposure to sunlight or moisture.
This reduces cracking. Do not use as scaffold flooring.
➤ Seal cut edges, and around holes, with edge varnish.
➤ Use a high-quality release agent (e.g. Doka-Trenn or
Doka-OptiX).
➤ Immediately after stripping the formwork, remove
concrete residues from the surfaces that were in
contact with the concrete.
NOTICE
9792-200-01
Do not use pointed or sharp objects, wire
brushes, abrasive disks or cup brushes.
Do not use high-pressure spray cleaners.
Possible incorrect usages Do not use to floor walkways or to cover holes, etc..

➤ The uses illustrated below are prohibited, as
are other, similar uses!

Deflection diagrams
If the moisture content is higher than shown in the dia- Dokaplex formwork sheets
grams below, the modulus of elasticity diminishes sig-
nificantly (i.e. deformation increases), and this is
accompanied by a reduction in strength. This, in conse-
quence, means a reduction in the ability to bear loads. Note:
The grain of the face layer can be arranged in any
direction relative to the supports.

The Dokaplex formwork sheet 9mm is mainly used for forming
curved surfaces, as inliners on profiled timber formers or on solid-
timber formwork.
In cases where only low loading occurs, the form-facing can be
dimensioned with reference to the diagram below.

which is the longitudinal and which is the trans-
