Shuttering Oil SC-2906
Description
Shuttering SC-2906 is expertly formulated to tackle common challenges with shuttering materials, enhancing their lifespan and ensuring a high-quality concrete finish. While typical shuttering oils may work well for the first few cycles, they often face issues such as concrete adhesion, streaking, and reduced effectiveness over time, leading to problems like voids, honeycombing, and poor finishes. Additionally, moisture and UV exposure can further degrade shuttering materials, affecting their durability.
Special Features and Benefits
- Optimal for MIVAN Aluminum Formwork: SC-2906 is specifically designed for MIVAN shuttering, protecting aluminum forms and delivering an excellent concrete surface finish. It meets the rigorous demands of construction firms by offering extensive coverage without compromising surface quality.
- Preserves Shuttering Materials: Unlike spent engine oils with high pH values that damage plywood fibers and binders, SC-2906 features a neutral pH. It safeguards plywood and aluminum from degradation, prevents bacterial and algae fouling, and reduces metallic oxidation and rusting.
- Enhanced Performance: SC-2906 minimizes friction between the shuttering surface and flowing concrete, leading to fewer voids and a smoother finish. It remains effective with subsequent coatings, ensuring easy release of formwork as plywood ages.
Advantages
- Easy release without damaging plywood or aluminum forms.
- Protects against algae and bacterial fouling.
- Extends the lifespan of shuttering materials.
- Reduces friction and improves surface finish.
- Provides a passivating film that protects metal surfaces and enhances their longevity.
