WoodShield
The formwork wood protector that protects your panels up to 5 years with zero trace on the finished concrete.
WoodShield penetrates deep into wood fibres. Once dry, it is completely inert in contact with fresh concrete — the surface finish remains impeccable, with no stain or mark.
A single application of WoodShield protects your plywood panels against moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, splitting and delamination for up to 5 years.
Concrete releases cleanly pour after pour. Your panels stay in perfect condition longer, significantly reducing your replacement costs.
