CHEMICAL FORM RELEASE AGENT
Description
Sika® Formol-EX is a chemical release agent for use on both timber and steel moulds. It is designed and formulated to function as a bondbreaker between formwork or moulds and freshly placed concrete. Sika® Formol-EX offers protection to both steel and timber formwork as it acts as a rust inhibitor and waterproofer.
Uses
Sika® Formol-EX can be used with excellent effect on formwork designed to produce all types of finishes, from fair-faced to textured.
