    Sepaform Oil vegetable oil based shutter release agent for formwork by MATEX

    Sepaform Oil

    Shutter Release Agent Based on Vegetable Oils

    SEPAFORM OIL is a vegetable oil-based formwork release agent enhanced with active ingredients and additives to provide superior demolding performance. It forms a water-repellent, oil-phobic barrier that prevents moisture absorption and corrosion, particularly on metal formwork. SEPAFORM OIL produces smooth, stain-free concrete finishes and is suitable for timber, steel, and synthetic surfaces. It extends the service life of formworks by reducing adhesion and facilitating easy, clean release. The product is environmentally friendly, easy to apply, and ideal for repeated use in both vertical and horizontal casting operations. SEPAFORM OIL supports cost-effective, high-quality concrete construction.

    • Coverage : 14 m²/lit on porous surface, 20 m²/lit on semi-porous surface, 40 m²/lit on smooth surface
    • Packaging : 200 liter drum

    How to Apply Sepaform Oil

    Sepaform Oil is a ready-to-use release agent applied to clean formwork before each casting.

    1. Prepare the formwork. The formwork surface must be clean, dry and free from oil or grease, contamination and cement spatter.
    2. Stir. Stir the drum contents very well before application. The product is ready to use directly; do not dilute with water or solvents.
    3. Apply. Apply Sepaform Oil directly to the formwork by brush, roller or spraying machine. Apply it at least two hours before casting in normal application.
    4. Pre-treat new timber. New unsealed timber formwork needs a one-time pre-treatment of two coats before first use to reduce surface absorbency and extend its useful life.
    5. Avoid over-application. Do not over-apply Sepaform Oil; excess material can mix with the concrete and affect the surface appearance.
    6. Recoat between uses. After every use, clean the shutter and recoat it lightly with Sepaform Oil before the next casting.
    7. Clean tools. Clean used tools with water.
