Anticorrosion performance of AZ41 Mg alloy coated with three different kinds of release
agents was investigated embedded in Portland cement (PC) paste containing 0.6 M NaCl …

Concrete, a commonly used material in the construction industry, interacts with metallic
surfaces such as formwork during pouring and reinforced bar during lifespan. Formworks …

Nowadays buildings construction is performed by pouring concrete into molds called
formworks that are usually prefabricated metallic modules. Defects such as stripping may …

The release agents protect the internal surfaces of formwork against corrosion and also
ensure easy removal of the concrete elements. On the other hand, the superplasticizers are …

This paper investigates the surface quality of concrete specimens made with molds of
different polymers and conventional concrete mold. Five kinds of polymers of various …

Slipform construction is widely used for building deep-buried vertical and inclined shaft
concrete linings due to its efficiency and cost advantages. The adhesion of the interface …

Raw vegetable oils and their emulsions have been used as biodegradable release agents
for concrete. However, there is no scientific explanation linking the chemical composition to …

The influence of silicon oil and liquid wax based release agents on the formation of surface
voids and colour variation in cast-in-place concrete was studied. The performance of the …

The sticking of the concrete on metallic formworks during building construction generates
many concrete wall defects. Several solutions have been proposed, among which surface …

The release agents currently used to facilitate demolding and protect formworks from
corrosion present some risks to users and the environment. This study focuses on a new …
