Deflection diagrams
If the moisture content is higher than shown in the dia-
grams below, the modulus of elasticity diminishes sig-
nificantly (i.e. deformation increases), and this is
accompanied by a reduction in strength. This, in conse-
quence, means a reduction in the ability to bear loads.

Remedies
To meet fair-faced concrete specifications, use only
formwork sheets of the same type and the same
level of wear-and-tear (storage history, how used,
and for how long).
Before sheets are used for the first time, avoid stor-
ing them for a long time under adverse climatic con-
ditions.
To meet tougher specifications regarding the con-
crete finish, protect the formwork sheets from cli-
matic influences between the pouring cycles as well,
as far as possible.
Covering the stacked sheets prevents exposed
sheets from drying-out.
Spray the formwork sheets with the release-agent
recommended by the manufacturers.

Comply with / check the application dosage specified
for the concrete release agent. A thin application of
release-agent generally results in a better concrete

Wipe off any excess release-agent carefully and
evenly, with e.g. a clean cloth. If you use a rubber
squeegee, make sure that you do not remove all of
the release-agent from the formwork sheet.
To meet high and extra-high specifications regarding
the quality of the concrete finish, do some trial pours
first.
