Shuttering Grease About

What is Shuttering Grease?

A high-performance, specially formulated release agent designed to prevent concrete from sticking to shuttering surfaces. Shuttering grease ensures smooth and clean formwork removal, enhances the surface finish of concrete, and extends the life of moulds. Ideal for use on steel, wood, and plastic formwork in all types of construction projects.

In short - Same work as shuttering oil, but in Semi Solid Grease Form. So it stays where you apply it.

Form: Semi Solid Grease / Paste
Usage/Application: Construction / Industrial / MIVAN MOULDING
Application Area: Shuttering, Mivan Patti, Wall Tie, Aluminium Formwork

Why Is Shuttering Grease Used in Construction?

Formwork accessories are repeatedly installed, tightened, removed, cleaned, and reused.

Without adequate lubrication, threaded components can become:

Difficult to tighten
Difficult to loosen
Contaminated with concrete and dust
Prone to excessive friction
More difficult to maintain

A suitable construction shuttering grease helps keep compatible mechanical connections working smoothly.

For example, a tie rod and anchor nut may be assembled and removed many times during a project. Keeping the threads properly lubricated can make this repetitive work easier.

Types of Shuttering Grease in Market

1. Mivan Shuttering Grease / Aluminium Shuttering Grease - Most Demand
RIBON Aluminium Shuttering Grease is a high-performance, semi-solid release agent specially formulated for MIVAN and Aluminium formwork systems. It ensures smooth, clean, and stain-free release of concrete from shuttering surfaces while maintaining the formwork's longevity.

2. General Shuttering Grease
For steel and plywood formwork - used in normal RCC buildings.

3. Wall Tie Grease / Mivan Walltie Grease
Special thin grease for lubrication of Mivan wall ties and shuttering accessories - so tie comes out easily after concrete

Oil vs Grease - When to Use What?

Feature	Shuttering Oil (Liquid)	Shuttering Grease (Paste)
Where to apply	Big flat panels	Mivan Patti, corners, wall tie holes, beam junctions
How it stays	Runs if applied thick	Stays at same place
Finish	Fair face white finish	Smooth but thick, prevents leakage
Best for	Aluminium panels	Joints where concrete slurry leaks

Shuttering Grease for Tie Rods

Tie rods are commonly assembled with nuts, plates, and other formwork accessories.

Thread contamination from concrete, cement dust, dirt, and corrosion can make the connection difficult to operate.

Shuttering Grease for Construction Equipment

The term "shuttering grease" is sometimes used broadly on construction sites for grease used around formwork equipment.

However, the correct grease should be selected based on the actual mechanical component.

For example:

Tie rod thread Thread-compatible grease
Hinge Suitable bearing/hinge grease
Pin Suitable pin lubricant
Machine bearing Manufacturer-specified bearing grease.
