Abstract: To ensure an easy demoulding of the concrete, the release agent must form a homogeneous film on the formwork to resist the friction of the concrete on the walls of the formwork. The adherence or the affinity of oil with the support was studied via the Solid/Liquid energy adhesion. This energy was calculated using the Zisman equation which utilizes the angle of drop and the surface tension Liquid/Vapour. Two emulsion formulations were compared. To correlate these results, the behavior of the oil films to the interface concrete/formwork is studied with a plane/plane tribometer for the complex mediums.
