Reliable Form Release Agent for Smooth Concrete Finishing
AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil, also known as a Form Release Agent, is a specially formulated construction chemical applied to formwork and shuttering surfaces before concrete placement.
It creates a thin protective film between the concrete and formwork, helping prevent concrete from sticking to the shuttering. This allows easier removal of the formwork after the concrete has hardened while helping protect both the concrete surface and formwork.
AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil helps achieve a cleaner concrete finish, reduces formwork cleaning requirements and can help extend the useful life of reusable shuttering.
Easy Release. Cleaner Finish. Better Formwork Performance.
What is AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil?
Shuttering oil is a concrete form release agent used before concrete is poured into a mould or formwork.
When applied correctly, AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil forms a thin separating film on the surface of the shuttering. This film helps prevent the concrete from bonding directly with the formwork.
As a result, the shuttering can be removed more easily after the concrete has set, helping reduce surface damage, cleaning work and unnecessary wear on the formwork.
AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil is suitable for different types of formwork, including:
- Steel formwork
- Plywood formwork
- Timber formwork
- Plastic formwork
- Aluminium formwork
Key Benefits of AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil
1. Easy Formwork Release
Helps prevent concrete from sticking to shuttering, making formwork removal easier and smoother.
2. Better Concrete Surface Finish
Proper use of a form release agent can help produce a cleaner and more uniform concrete surface.
3. Protects Formwork
The protective film helps reduce direct contact between concrete and the formwork surface.
4. Reduces Cleaning Work
Less concrete sticking to the shuttering can reduce scraping, cleaning and preparation work after formwork removal.
5. Saves Time & Labour
Easier formwork removal and reduced cleaning requirements can help improve overall construction efficiency.
6. Supports Reuse of Formwork
By helping protect shuttering surfaces, AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil can support repeated use of suitable formwork.
7. Helps Reduce Surface Damage
Proper form release can help reduce the risk of concrete surface damage during shuttering removal.
8. Suitable for Multiple Formwork Types
Can be used with steel, plywood, timber, plastic and aluminium formwork, subject to proper application and project requirements.
How Does AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil Work?
The working principle is simple.
Before concrete placement, a thin and even layer of AXIOMIX Shuttering Oil is applied to the formwork surface.
The oil creates a separating layer between the concrete and shuttering.
When the concrete has hardened, the formwork can be removed more easily because the concrete has less direct contact with the shuttering surface.
Simple Process:
Clean Formwork → Apply Shuttering Oil → Pour Concrete → Concrete Sets → Easy Formwork Removal → Cleaner Concrete Surface
