Extended-Use Elastomeric Formliners
Fitzgerald's GrayLastic formliners provide maximum design latitude for precast or cast-in-place applications. They are ideally suited for large areas of coverage where extended form liner reuse is likely.
Benefits:
- Realistic replication
- High durability
- Seamless finishes
- Wide range of sizes
- Easily insalled
Design Versatility
Beautiful stone walls, timber wood paneling, sculptures — virtually any undercut design — will be reproduced with amazingly faithful detail using GrayLastic formliners. Numerous standard patterns are available.
Seamless Finish
Patterns can flow from one panel to the next, around columns and other curved surfaces. The appearance of an entirely seamless finish is possible by way of end-to-end, side-to-side panel matching. GrayLastic formliners are also easily filled to conceal joints and/or sanded to eliminate unwanted variations in the seam area. Custom-molded reveals are available on many patterns.
Durability
GrayLastic is manufactured from 100% solid urethane and mold bonded to 19mm (0.75”) ACX plywood. Because GrayLastic formliners are highly durable, they overcome virtually all potential problems resulting from temperature change, chemical releases and concrete form pressures. They have expansion/contraction characteristics similar to steel, and therefore require no special provisions for job conditions. GrayLastic formliners will withstand temperatures up to 60° C (140° F) without distorting or sagging, and will endure freezing temperatures without cracking or becoming brittle.
Economy
GrayLastic formliners may be re-used up to 100 times, making them extremely economical for the right application. Also, the aesthetic value of many customer designs can make the return on investment even greater!
Ease of Use
Because Fitzgerald's formliners are factory bonded to plywood, they may be easily attached to wood, steel, aluminum, fiberglass or other concrete forming surfaces. Staples, nails, screws and exotic bonding formulas are unnecessary. T-nuts for attaching formliners to steel forms are optional.
Dimensions
Lengths up to 7m (24ft) are available for many patterns — larger sizes are available by special order. GrayLastic formliners are easily field-cut to fit odd size requirements.
