Shuttering Oils

Shuttering oil, also called form release agent or mould release oil, is applied to formwork before concreting so the set concrete separates cleanly. The right release agent protects the formwork surface, reduces blowholes and staining on the finished concrete, and increases the number of reuse cycles you get from each panel.

Paam Group supplies the FORMTEK TRENN Series, developed in collaboration with FORMTEK, a German mould release systems company. There are two grades. TRENN PLUS is a milky white emulsion for everyday formwork. TRENN PRO is a golden yellow oil for Class A and architectural finishes. Both come in 20 L drums, 200 L barrels and 1000 L IBCs, with delivery across India from our Hyderabad base.
