Formwork tie rod is an essential component used in RCC shuttering systems to hold formwork panels together during concrete pouring. A formwork tie rod maintains proper panel spacing, resists fresh concrete pressure, and prevents shuttering failure during casting.
At AMCO Exports, we manufacture high-strength formwork tie rods in sizes ranging from 12mm to 25mm, produced with accurate thread pitch and controlled diameter for reliable tightening with wing nuts and waller plates. Our tie rod formwork products are made from durable steel grades to ensure consistent performance in demanding construction environments.Tie rods are used together with Formwork Combi Plates to distribute load and secure shuttering systems.

Compatible Shuttering Accessories
Tie rods work with essential formwork components:
-
Wing Nut for tie rod – tightening and locking
-
Anchor Nut / Plate Nut – strong fastening
-
Waller Plate – load distribution
-
Water Stopper – leakage control in wall shuttering
-
Rapid Clamp – faster tightening
Using quality accessories ensures stable shuttering during vibration and concrete pouring.

Formwork Tie Rod Price in India (12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm)
Tie rod price in India depends on size, material grade, thread quality, finish, and order quantity. Larger diameters such as 20mm and 25mm typically cost more due to higher steel weight and load capacity.
At AMCO Exports, we supply 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, and 25mm tie rods at manufacturer pricing for bulk and project requirements across India.
What Affects Tie Rod Price?
-
Diameter (12mm / 16mm / 20mm / 25mm)
-
Material grade (MS / EN8)
-
Thread length and accuracy
-
Surface finish (self / zinc / coated)
-
Order quantity (bulk discounts available)
Because tie rods are used in RCC shuttering and heavy formwork support, contractors prefer consistent threading and accurate weight per meter to avoid on-site failures.

Formwork Tie Rod vs Rebar Tie Rod
| Feature | Formwork Tie Rod | Rebar Tie Rod |
|---|---|---|
| Threading | Full threaded | Partial or none |
| Purpose | Shuttering support | Reinforcement tying |
| Reusability | Multiple cycles | Usually single use |
| Strength | High tensile | Moderate |
Formwork tie rods are specifically designed to resist fresh concrete pressure, while rebar tie rods are mainly used for reinforcement connections.
