Concrete formwork systems must operate with increased efficiency and deliver consistently high-quality concrete finish. The formwork panel has an essential function, as it is the actual „contact patch“ from the system to concrete itself. Easy cleaning and quick repair on the construction site or in the rental pool are just as important.
Our TALLEAS formwork panels for slabs and walls meet these requirements and set a new standard. This especially so as they use of 100% recycled material in the core and the 100% return and recycling – through PolymerPark itself as producer! TALLEAS is taken back and reused at the end of its life cycle transforming consumption into circularity. In this way, TALLEAS reduces the carbon footprint of every construction project.
Technical information
TALLEAS formwork panels are robust, water-resistant, and retain their properties over long periods of use. The market-proven WPC surface is scratch- and abrasion-resistant, ensuring a durable, high-quality concrete surface. TALLEAS formwork has a lifecycle 4-6 times longer than plywood—a significant contribution to both cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
Ergonomic requirements are increasing for manually erected slab formwork. Formwork manufacturers are therefore striving to reduce weight without compromising performance. TALLEAS slab formwork offers great potential here, as the cores are weight-optimized and offer a best-in-class combination of load-bearing capacity and weight per square meter.
TALLEAS has a surface specifically designed for concrete pours. It comes standard with a smooth, matted finish that creates a smooth concrete appearance and barely variates between new and used elements, allowing the mixed use with almost no visual changes in pours.
For slab formwork, the surfaces are available in two different designs. One side is smooth and matt, the other has a micro-texture that conceals any unevenness in the concrete appearance.
TALLEAS's material is water-resistant (water absorption according to ISO DIS 62 / 7 days: < 1.2%). Even in the event of major damage, water is not absorbed and damage remains local - the material does not swell. Quick and easy cleaning with high-pressure systems up to 350 bar reduces manual effort and increases cost-effectiveness. A TALLEAS formwork panel lasts and lasts and lasts...
Formwork manufacturers today operate rental fleets with large quantities of formwork. This is where long service life and longevity of the formwork material are crucial for economic success. TALLEAS panels remain in use for a long time and pay back quickly compared to the regular replacement of plywood. In addition to reducing ongoing material costs, the ROI is also accelerated by the elimination of repeated installation costs. TALLEAS is projected to stay operational for at least 7-8 years, while wood products - depending on type and kind of use/ storage only last 12-15 months.
TALLEAS can easlily be repaired on site and in the R&R workshops with methods proven and safe. We offer TALLEAS material repair-plugs that are applied just the same as with traditional formwork panels. Your know-how here is kept and nothing has to change.
As an alternative hand-extruders cab be applied, allowing melt welding and repair work just as well and we offer the fitting welding rods you need.
And when TALLEAS eventually reaches the end of its useful life, you don't have a waste disposal issue on your hands, but rather a material with value that PolymerPark will take back as your supplier. It will be recycled and gets a second life as new TALLEAS formwork panel.
TALLEAS integrates a proven, wood-fiber-reinforced WPC surface that is fully welded. This provides scratch resistance comparable to phenolic resin surfaces, surpassing traditional solid plastic panels.
Combined with the high abrasion resistance, this extends the service life on concrete.
The specially matte surface finish ensures a best-in-class gloss level and a smooth concrete appearance.
Available Versions:
Slab formwork: 10; 11; 12 mm
Wall formwork: 12.5; 16; 19; 21; 22 mm
Production widths: 1,200 (1,220); 1,500; 1,800 mm
Available lengths: flexible, as continuous production is available up to 4,200 mm
Under concrete pressure, TALLEAS must safely absorb bending stresses and ensure minimal deformation. Compared to traditional plywood or solid plastic formwork panels, TALLEAS offers superior structural stability.
TALLEAS is characterized by high compressive strength, which minimizes damage caused by equipment storage or material logistics.
The hybrid base layers with continuous fibers improve dimensional stability, facilitating precise fit and potentially reducing the need for a silicone sealant.
TALLEAS incorporates a proven, wood-fiber-reinforced surface that is fully welded. This provides the scratch resistance comparable to phenolic resin surfaces and surpasses traditional solid plastic panels.
Combined with its high abrasion resistance, it extends the service life of the concrete.
What makes TALLEAS stand out is the specially matte surface finish with lowest-in-class gloss levels. This directly translates into a smooth non-shiny concrete appearance.
TALLEAS actively contributes to reducing the CO2 footprint of formwork systems. This is due to the high proportion of recycled plastics (100% in the core), the long service life and the complete material cycle. PolymerPark takes back used TALLEAS formwork panels, recycles them and uses them completely in the production of new composites. This saves disposal cost and preserves resources - production waste can also be returned to us.
Compared to regular plastic formwork panels, a reduction in CO2 emissions of more than 50% can be achieved, and compared to traditional plywood panels, a reduction of more than 70% when compared over the entire life cycle. This sustainably improves the environmental footprint of your formwork systems and rental parks. Together, we are making an active contribution to circular economy and environmental protection.
We offer EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) for TALLEAS - from its initial production to the end of its life in operation.
For example, the CO2 footprint calculated for a TALLEAS wall formwork over 7 years of use (phases A1-C4) generates mere total 45 kg CO2 / m² (without benefits, i.e. credits). This means 6.4 kg CO2 / m² per year of operation or 0.54 kg CO2 / m² per month of operation.
These values are leading in this application.
PolymerPark’s composites are designed, material selected, and composed in such a way that they can be recycled into new composite products. To achieve this, we take back production waste and the products themselves after their long service life, reprocess them, and reuse the recovered material.
The material cycle is closed, and our composites are truly CIRCULAR composites.
