Formwork Oil for Mivan & Aluminium Formwork

Mivan aluminium formwork is designed for repeated use. Panels are assembled, concrete is poured, the panels are stripped, cleaned, treated with release agent, and reused.

In this type of construction, the formwork release process needs to be consistent.

A suitable Mivan formwork oil helps reduce concrete adhesion to compatible aluminium panels and can make cleaning and panel reuse easier.

The release agent should always be confirmed as suitable for the particular aluminium formwork surface.

Formwork Oil for Steel and Metal Shuttering

Steel formwork can be reused many times, but concrete residue can build up on the surface if a suitable release agent is not used.

A compatible formwork release oil for steel shuttering can help reduce adhesion and make panel cleaning easier after de-shuttering.

For steel panels, buyers should also consider whether the product provides suitable protection against corrosion during storage and repeated use.

Formwork Oil for Plywood Shuttering

Plywood formwork also benefits from a suitable release agent.

The oil should be applied carefully because excessive application can affect the appearance of the concrete surface and may not be suitable for every type of plywood or coating.

Always check compatibility before applying the product to coated or treated formwork.

Formwork Oil for Aluminium Formwork

Aluminium formwork requires a release agent compatible with the aluminium panel finish and construction process.

A suitable aluminium formwork oil should provide effective release without unnecessarily affecting the panel surface or finished concrete.

For Mivan systems, contractors should follow the aluminium formwork manufacturer's recommendations.

Technical Specification - What to Check

For good quality oil:

• Base: Oil Based / Chemical Based

• Color: Light Yellow to Brown

• Viscosity: Low to Medium (easy spray)

• Coverage: 1 Litre = 30-40 sqm for aluminium, 15-20 sqm for plywood

• Non-staining: Should not leave black spots on concrete

• Rust prevention: Should protect steel formwork from rust

• Flash Point: >60C for safety

How to Apply - Correct Method

1. Clean formwork - Remove old concrete dust with wire brush
2. Mix - Most Mivan oils are Ready to use. Don't mix with diesel.
3. Spray - Use hand sprayer or roller. Apply thin uniform coat. Don't make puddles.
4. Wait 30 mins - Let oil settle
5. Pour concrete
6. After de-shuttering, clean panel and re-apply for next use
