Multifunctional Formwork for Plate-Shaped Precast Concrete Components

Concretes are becoming more and more high-performance, which in turn places higher and more diverse demands on the formwork used in the precast plant. This is the case in particular in the manufacturing of plate-shaped components – like solid walls or insulated prefabricated panels.

Increase in seal tightness

Modern, in particular fluid concretes show off their advantages through greater strength, flowability, faster curing, lower specific weight and further properties or the combination of several of these factors.

However, the increased fluidity leads to increased problems with the seal...
