Shuttering Oil – Release Agent for Concrete Formwork
Shuttering oil is a specialized release agent used to prevent concrete from sticking to formwork, ensuring smooth and easy removal once the concrete has cured. This product is essential for any concrete construction, especially for projects involving plywood and other wooden or metal formworks. By applying shuttering oil for plywood, you ensure that the surface remains undamaged, which improves the overall finish of your concrete structure.
