Release concrete cleanly and protect reusable formwork. Formol® Eco is a ready-to-use, mineral-oil-based release agent for concrete casting with steel, timber and fibreglass moulds. Its formulation contains at least 90% recycled mineral oil.
Why choose Formol Eco?
- Cleaner stripping: reduces concrete adhesion to suitable formwork.
- Less mould maintenance: assists removal of hardened residue and helps reduce rust build-up on steel moulds.
- Versatile application: suits on-site formwork and precast concrete moulds.
- Easy application: spray, brush or roll on a thin, even coating without dilution.
Applications and coverage
Use on clean, prepared moulds before pouring concrete. Indicative coverage is 19 m²/L on timber and 30 m²/L on steel, depending on surface condition and application method.
Before pouring
Remove old concrete, grease and debris. Apply a thin film and remove excess product before casting. Follow current technical and safety instructions for handling and storage.
Assists stripping of suitable steel and timber concrete formwork.
Helps keep reusable moulds and compatible concrete-handling tools clean.
Thin-film application helps maintain a neat concrete face.
Clean formwork of grease, loose rust, old concrete and debris. Apply Formol Eco undiluted as a thin, continuous release film by spray, brush or roller. Use the published indicative rates of 19 m²/L on timber or 30 m²/L on steel where suitable, and mop off any excess before concrete placement. Also use a thin protective coating on suitable tools or handling equipment where needed.
Apply only a thin, uniform film; excess product on formwork should be removed. Do not dilute. Clean surfaces first to avoid contamination of the concrete face. Coverage varies with mould condition and porosity; protect containers from direct sunlight during storage.
