Focus on the latest material sciences
Application of technopolymers in formwork and
scaffolding technology
For several years, PERI has been carrying out research and development in poly-
mer products. Thereby the focus is on the practical application of these materials in
construction engineering. The result is polytech a composite material on the basis
of a polymer matrix. The material properties are optimised for the respective require-
ments of an application by adding additives. PERI material research focuses on tech-
nopolymers that are particularly robust and durable. All development actitivies are
aimed at the specific use of these polymers in formwork and scaffolding technology.
Apart from simple slab stopend angles for the slab edge and other small devices,
the formwork system DUO has resulted from this novel material.
Polymer-coated fibres are the source material

for the production of polytech components.

Main advantages of polytech Why polytech is sustainable
Low weight Zero waste production
Polytech is very light compared to steel or even wood. The entire raw material used is processed into a product.
This allows for faster working and saves crane time. No waste is generated during production.
High durability against moisture Ideal transport weights

Technopolymers are shrink-free, develop no moisture expansion Polytech products are of a low weight. This minimises the

Ergonomic in all respects
Low weights, crane-free handling and intuitive
application
Manual assembly: Two height-extended panels with

a height of 270 cm can easily be put into position by
two persons.
Simple operations, low weights and
uniform system components allow for
a very high productivity on the con-
struction site. Working with almost
no tools additionally reduces the risk
of injury and prevents noise.
No DUO system component weighs

more than 25 kg, making DUO a real
hand-set formwork system than can be
handled without a crane. Working with
low weights is less exhausting, resulting
in improved concentration in everyday
operations on the construction site and
reduced risk of accidents. Furthermore,
the composite system components
have no sharp edges, which also mini-
mises the risk of injury.
However, if a crane has to be used, one

with a lower lifting capacity is sufficient.
This saves additional costs and energy.

With DUO, the number of different in-

minimum.

are used for the outside and inside cor-
ners. The compact, square post with an
edge length of 10 cm only weighs

Easy replacement of formlining
Quick maintenance with just a few screws without
requiring special skills
The special highlight of DUO: easy re-

placement of formlining guarantees
quick maintenance without requir-
ing any special tools or skills.
DUO system components and the form-

lining made of polytech are very durable.
With proper use and maintenance, the
service life of DUO components can be
maintained over many years.
Small identations or scratches in the

formlining can easily be repaired. If re-
quired, the formlining is simply replaced.
Formlining replacements are available in

with a few screws.

leads to poor quality concrete surfaces,

scaffold on the formwork. The brackets are simply hooked into the openings of

Standard applications as slab formwork
Systematic assembly from a safe position
DUO is a lightweight, beam-free pan-

elized slab formwork for slabs up to
30 cm thickness. Practical accessories
for filler areas and slab edges provide
versatile application possibilities.
With DUO, the slab can be safely

shuttered from the installation level. The
panels are hooked in from below and
pushed upwards by means of the shut-
tering aid. As the panel size determines
the position of the slab props, measur-
ing is not necessary.
With this simple formwork system, even

untrained personnel can quickly learn
how to handle the system.
22
Fix Head DFH
The Fix Head DFH fits on all PERI
steel slab props. It is simply pushed
onto the prop head until the inte-
grated clip retention snaps into the
locking position.
Dismantling is also very straightfor-

ward. After lifting the clip retention,
the Fix Head can easily slide off the
end plate.
The Fix Head DFH can be pushed onto end plates

with an edge length of up to 120 mm and a thick-
ness from 5 mm to 8 mm.
The Fix Head can be positioned in

different positions on the panel: it is
used within a panel field, across the
edges of two panels and in the joint
area of 4 panels.
Wall Holder DUO 82

The Wall Holder DUO is used for hori-

The PERI philosophy
Increasing rationality. Enhancing efficiency.
Working more safely.
Behind all PERI developments is the

idea of making work on the construc-
tion site more efficient and safer.
For every formwork and scaffolding

system, our experts aim at as few
individual parts as possible because this
has numerous positive effects: the han-
dling of a system is accelerated, search
times are reduced and also logistics are
substantially facilitated. Having only a
minimum number of individual compo-
nents thus saves working time and often
investment as well.
In addition, the safety aspect is a central

theme that runs throughout the PERI
formwork and scaffolding programme.
Users work faster and more efficiently
if the sources of danger are minimised
and the accident risk is reduced. That is
why we integrate the factor safety in the
system where possible or achieve
safety by means of practical accesso-
ries.
Last but not least we are also pioneers

when it comes to using new materials.
Despite initial concerns of the market,
we were the first to use aluminium in
formwork and scaffolding technology.
Today this material has become indis-
pensible for the industry owing to its
many advantages.
We have also been using technopoly-

mers for several years. The toothed strip
of the SKYDECK longitudinal girder, for
instance, has proven its worth on innu-
merable construction sites.
In 1992 PERI introduced slab props made of alu-
minium. The low weight, high load-bearing capacity Since 2013, the PERI product portfolio has also

Since 1995 the toothed strip of the SKYDECK longi-

tudinal girder has proven to be of value. It is made
from the composite material based on polymer.
