Product is supplied ready for use do not dilute. All formwork surfaces should be clean prior to application. Apply a thin uniform coating to the formwork surface avoiding over application. Spraying is the preferred method of application using a sprayer such as a Mesto Ferrox Plus 3585P or Mesto Profi Plus 3270P with an 8001 Nozzle fitted , however brushes or rollers may be used. Ensure any excess is mopped up as over application can cause dusty concrete, pay particular attention to the bottom of vertical shutter for run off. The performance of shuttering oil is largely dependent on the type of formwork that is being used. For wooden formwork, straight refined, pale, paraffin-based mineral oil and oil-phase emulsion have been successfully used. The oil that is chosen should be capable of penetrating the wood to some extent while leaving the surface slightly greasy to touch. The application of mould oils helps safeguard the mould surface against wear, corrosion, and the accumulation of deposits or residues from the materials being cast. Consequently, the oils contribute to prolonging the lifespan and reducing the need for frequent cleaning or repairs.

Our Mould Oil helps ensure that formwork remains free of concrete deposits is therefore an essential task and an efficient and powerful cleaning agent is a vital product to get the job done.

WB Emulsified Formwork Concrete Release Agent

Clean all form surfaces thoroughly prior to application. Remove all rust, scale and/or previously used form release agents from the forms, in accordance with good concrete practices. It is imperative when using new timber forms of all types (plain wooden, plywood, rough cut etc.) that Speed//STRIKE be applied and reapplied until complete saturation has been accomplished prior to first use. Application Once the concrete is set, the shuttering is removed and the process repeated.The use of mould oil also extends the life of your road forms and concrete shuttering, protecting equipment from concrete build up, and ensuring strong and accurate edges and easy formwork release. These “Mould Oils” are applied to steel and timber formwork and falsework to reduce the cohesion between the curing concrete and the shuttering.

DSO provides a damp proof interface that protects the formwork and ensures even texture and colour of concrete.If the wood in question has been painted or stained, it is less likely that the mould you will be removing will have penetrated the timber, meaning removing it should be easier than if you were dealing with bare wood. If the wood in question has not been painted or varnished, you might need to take a different approach. This is because you need your cleaning solution to penetrate the wood to eliminate any spores that have permeated the timber. sq. ft/USGal (17.7-36.8 sq.m/L), depending on the type and porosity of the form surface. Precautions Before the application of shuttering oil on the formwork, it is important to make sure that the surface of the formwork is clean of previous impurities. The shuttering oil is applied by spraying guns, rollers or by brushes. It is important to remove any excess oil on the surface of the formwork.
