Pecafil is an innovative solution to standard formwork. Made up of steel wire mesh with a heat-shrunk layer of polyethylene applied to both sides of the mesh, this combination creates a pre-formed product that is lightweight, structurally strong and easy to handle.

Pecafil (also known as Pecaform), is a natural formwork option for footings, ground beams, bases, pile caps and curved concrete slabs. It is primarily intended to be used as a sub-grade formwork system which is backfilled on the outside of the form before concrete is poured. It is designed for fast assembly and being so lightweight, eliminates OH&S issues normally associated with heavy timber formwork.  

Safari has a long history of supplying large quantities of Pecafil to many major sites across Australia, including mining, energy, and government construction projects. We stock a full range of sizes and also offer custom cutting and bending options to suit exact project requirements, please contact us if this is required.
