Steel brushes or hard metal scrapers
must not be used for cleaning powder-
coated elements or accessories. Such
cleaning processes will destroy the
high-quality powder coating.
Use spacers for reinforcement with
large-area support or flat supports. This
prevents indentations being created in
the formlining by the load.
Mechanical components, such as
spindles or gear mechanisms, must
be cleaned of dirt or concrete residue
before and after use, and then greased
with suitable lubricants.
Box outs and built-in parts should be
fixed with double-headed nails. This
makes it easier to remove the nails
later on and prevents damage to the
formlining to a great extent.
Any unneccessary anchor holes should
be sealed with plugs. As a result, this
eliminates subsequent cleaning or repair
work. Anchor holes accidentally blocked
with concrete are freed by means of a
steel pin from the formlining side.
When putting down bundles of rein-
forcement bars or other heavy objects
on horizontally-stored formwork ele-
ments, suitable support items, e.g.
square timbers, are to be used. This
prevents indentations and damage
being caused to the formlining.
If possible, concrete internal vibrators
are to be used with rubber caps. This
reduces the risk of damage to the
formlining if accidentally “inserting”
the internal vibrator between the
reinforcement and formlining.
The elements should not be treated with
concrete release agent immediately
before transport due to safety reasons.
Formwork
Regular cleaning and care is necessary
in order to maintain the value and
usability of the formwork material in
the long-term. In addition, some repair
work may also be inevitable due to the
severe working conditions. The following
points should help to keep care and
maintenance costs as low as possible.
The elements (used or new) should be
sprayed all over with the PERI Bio Clean
concrete release agent before every
use. This makes it easier and quicker
to clean the formwork. The concrete
release agent should always be sprayed
on thinly and evenly!
Spray rear side of the formlining with
water immediately after concreting.
This saves on time-consuming cleaning
operations.
The formlining of the panels must be
sprayed with the release agent immedi-
ately after striking if in continuous use.
Only then cleaning can take place with a
scraper, brush or rubber lip scraper. Im-
portant: do not clean plywood formlining
with a high-pressure cleaner as this can
lead to damage.
