Which device is suitable for formwork oil?

For formwork oils, we recommend steel or stainless steel containers equipped with a pressure gauge, safety valve, spray wand holder, pressure relief valve, carrying strap, and back support. It is best to apply the formwork oil using a flat spray nozzle with a wide spray angle and a fine orifice, as this helps prevent excessive application of release agent, which can occur with cone spray nozzles. To prevent the nozzle from clogging, it should be equipped with a filter. An ideal sprayer operates at 4–6 bar pressure and is equipped with an FPM seal, as this material is especially resistant to oil.
