Formwork Preparation
The concrete face you get is decided before the pour, on the formwork. Release agents give a clean strike, sound surfaces, and longer life from your shutter investment.
Applied in order.

A thin, uniform film of release agent prevents cement paste bonding to the form face. Over-application causes staining and surface dusting, so a light wiped or sprayed coat is the rule. Grades differ for steel, timber and plastic-faced forms, and for fair-faced concrete where surface quality is contractual.
Built for the job, not the shelf.
- Clean release without prying and patching
- Better off-form surface quality
- Longer formwork service life
- Grades matched to steel, timber and plastic faces
Asked on real sites.
Why do I get dark staining on the concrete?
Almost always over-application or the wrong grade. Apply the thinnest continuous film the TDS allows and stains disappear.
Can one release agent serve all my formwork?
Universal grades exist, but fair-faced work and absorbent timber do better with matched products. Tell us your form types and finish requirement.
Does release agent affect later plaster or coatings?
Residues can reduce bond. For surfaces receiving finishes, choose a grade the TDS marks as compatible, or plan surface preparation.
