Antiadhesive oil Szalmax

Szalmax Formwork Release Agent, also known as SzalMax PRO, is a specialist white product for formwork, designed for casting and precast production of concrete elements, particularly light-coloured architectural concrete. The emulsion creates a thin barrier layer while also acting chemically to reduce concrete adhesion to the formwork and facilitate stripping. It helps achieve a smooth, even concrete surface without discolouration or staining. The white colour makes it easier to control coverage and quickly identify areas that have been missed or over-applied. The product is odourless and biodegradable, improving working comfort both on construction sites and in precast production facilities. Szalmax also helps protect steel formwork against corrosion and can be applied by spray as a fine oil mist.

Applications of Szalmax Formwork Release Agent

Szalmax is intended for applications where easy stripping and the appearance of the concrete surface are particularly important.

• protecting steel, timber and plastic formwork against concrete adhesion,
• production of light-coloured architectural concrete elements and exposed precast components,
• preparation of formwork for walls, columns, beams and slabs requiring a smooth concrete surface,
• reinforced concrete work in building and civil engineering construction where the appearance of exposed concrete is important,
• applications where reduced odour and a cleaner working environment are important.
