Ekan® OIL 150-A

Form Release Agent

EKAN®OIL 150-A is a synthetic form release oil that facilitates the easy removal of concrete from the formwork, helps in the easy release of trapped air on the concrete surface, and makes it easier to achieve a smooth surface.

EKAN®OIL 150-A is water-based and can be diluted with water.

Before applying EKAN®OIL 150-A, the formwork surface should be cleaned out properly and the final application area should be dry. This involves the removal of any wooden, steel particles, debris or dust from the surface.
