Vikas Mittal, CEO of NOVA Formworks, explains the sustainable features, saying, “Formwork is reused in various projects, and when it is scrapped, it is completely recycled, leaving a smaller carbon footprint.”

Features of Nova’s advanced modular panels
Our unique features include our universality, lightweight, and ready-to-use status. Nova panels are modular and can be easily used in different projects. Nova panels are resistant to temperature change and can withstand any weather condition. Nova’s advanced plastic formwork has GI stiffeners attached to the panel, which gives primary strength that can be increased if required. Nova Panels have a patented locking system that makes locking and unlocking the panels simple. It has low surface tension, so the concrete does not stick to it, which leads to easy cleaning and less use of shuttering oil. They can be stacked easily one above another, with no need for storage space.

Improving the safety and efficiency of formwork
The Nova panel has a unique locking system of round pins, which enables the light panels to be fixed and unravelled even by unskilled labour efficiency can be improved by using panels that can be assembled easily by using a patent for inserting caps and plugs in the existing tie-rod holes. These panels have low surface tension, so they do not adhere to concrete, leading to easy, quick cleaning that saves time and labour. Construction done using these panels
does not require plastering, making it an economical process which engages in efficiency. Efficiency in formwork can be increased by using light weight. Nova formworks panels can be easily moved, stripped and assembled as they are lightweight and come with a unique locking system that ensures no leakage. It is modular in size andcan be less than other formworks. As it is plastic and lightweight, it is much safer to use.

Complying with the sustainability standards
Our panels can be reused more than 100 times if used with care. Panels are 100 per cent recyclable as they can be easily re-processed, making them environmentally friendly and worthy of generating carbon credit. Compared to plywood, steel, and aluminium, it emits the least amount of carbon. The use of shuttering oil can be reduced as concrete does not stick to our material so it can be cleaned easily with less water.

Fundamental sustainable properties of plastic formworks
Nova Formwork is a modular. plastic formwork system made of high-impact resistant reinforced compound plastic with a novel locking system. The product has excellent resistance, rigidity, impact properties, and lightness, which fulfil the requirements of the best formwork for the building and construction industry. This product is the most flexible, reinforcing it with a lightweight tubular steel frame to ensure the utmost stability.
