Key Issues & Attributes To Consider When Selecting Dincel
Published 30 September 2024
Permanent Polymer Formwork (PPF), such as Dincel, consists of a PVC shell which is filled with conventional or Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). PPF walls are different to conventional concrete walls such as precast or walls cast in-situ with removable formwork or masonry walls and have significant advantages over these conventional walling types, which will be discussed later in this paper. However, whilst the Australian Concrete Standard, AS3600, has been written around conventional walling types, it can be applied in full to PPF walls as verified by University of New South Wales and the University of Technology Sydney.
This document is prepared for the designer, specifier, and certifier for use as a ready reckoner addressing the key issues to consider when designing and using Dincel or any other permanent polymer formwork.
