Fosroc Shuttering Oil About
Reebol Emulsion Xtra is supplied as a pale amber liquid which turns emulsifi er when diluted with water to produce a chemical release agent, combining the outstanding release properties of such materials with the economy of a conventional oil. It reacts with the alkali in the concrete to form a thin water repellent skin on the surface of the mould which enables easy stripping from the hardened concrete.

Fosroc Shuttering Oil (also known as formwork oil or mould release agent) is a
specialised chemical release agent used in concrete construction. It is applied on formwork (shuttering) surfaces
before pouring concrete to ensure easy and clean removal of forms once the concrete hardens. This improves finish quality and extends the life of the formwork
Superior Concrete Release PerformanceFosroc Shuttering Oil delivers reliable non-staining release for shuttering and formwork, ensuring smooth concrete surfaces after de-moulding. Its mild mineral oil odour and milky white emulsion make it user-friendly and easy to identify during application. Purpose-built for industrial-grade performance, this oil helps prevent surface blemishes, reducing concrete imperfections and improving final structure quality.
Safe, Eco-Friendly, and Easy to UseFormulated to be biodegradable and non-toxic under recommended use, Fosroc Shuttering Oil meets essential environmental and safety standards. With a water-miscible formulation and a flash point above 150C, it provides secure, straightforward handling during construction. The emulsion's neutral to mildly alkaline pH further supports safe and efficient operation on-site.
FAQ's of Fosroc Shuttering Oil:
Q: How should Fosroc Shuttering Oil be applied to formwork surfaces?
A: Fosroc Shuttering Oil should be uniformly applied to clean, dry formwork surfaces using a spray, brush, or roller, ensuring a thin, continuous film. Excess oil should be avoided to prevent surface blemishes on the finished concrete.
Q: What is the recommended dilution ratio for Fosroc Shuttering Oil?
A: The recommended dilution ratio for Fosroc Shuttering Oil should be followed as directed by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance. Refer to the product's application guidelines or consult with your supplier for specific instructions.
Q: When should Fosroc Shuttering Oil be applied during the construction process?
A: Shuttering oil should be applied immediately before concrete casting, after ensuring the formwork is clean and dry. This timing maximizes the mould release effect and achieves best results in finished surfaces.
Q: Where should Fosroc Shuttering Oil be stored to maintain its effectiveness?
A: Store Fosroc Shuttering Oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep its container tightly sealed to preserve the emulsion quality and maintain its 12-month shelf life.
Q: What are the benefits of using this mould release oil on shuttering and formwork?
A: Using Fosroc Shuttering Oil provides excellent release properties, preventing concrete from sticking to surfaces. It ensures non-staining, smooth finishes, reduces cleaning time, and preserves the integrity of formwork for multiple uses.
Q: Is Fosroc Shuttering Oil safe and environmentally friendly for construction use?
A: Yes, Fosroc Shuttering Oil is biodegradable, non-toxic when used as recommended, and eco-friendly. Its formulation supports safe handling and aligns with sustainability goals in construction projects.
Q: What physical properties distinguish Fosroc Shuttering Oil from other release agents?
A: Fosroc Shuttering Oil is a milky white emulsion with a neutral to mildly alkaline pH, specific gravity between 0.95 - 1.00, and a flash point above 150C. It is a blend containing water and mineral oil, offering excellent coverage and minimal odor.
