NEXGEN
Strip-Ease System
Innovation in Concrete Forming
Coming Summer 2026
Westcon is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of the NEXGEN Strip-Ease System, arriving Summer 2026. Built on the proven reliability of the original Westcon Strip-Ease system, NEXGEN introduces a stronger, more advanced locking system while maintaining the clean, easy stripping experience contractors trust.
The original Westcon Strip-Ease system will continue to be available for contractors who rely on Westcon’s proven performance. NEXGEN simply provides customers with an additional next-generation option.
What Makes NEXGEN Different
NEXGEN replaces the traditional whaler bar locking system with [], while offering a thicker, more robust tie design that maintains Westcon’s classic easy stripping performance.
Advanced Locking
Engineered for maximum stability, replacing whaler bars with a precision-fit [] for superior form integrity.
Key Benefits

Cost Reduction
No whaler bar required, significantly reducing overall hardware and labor costs.
Simplified Corners
No special inside/outside corner hinges or straps required for assembly.
24-Inch Spacing
Optimized 24-inch tie spacing for efficient form setup and structural integrity.
Scaffold Compatibility
Fully compatible with off-the-shelf scaffolding systems for safe, elevated workflow.
High Tensile Strength
Increased tensile strength with a 5,500 lb break point for demanding structural needs.
Simpler 3-Piece Assembly
Faster assembly than Camlock and Jahn A systems with a streamlined 3-piece design.
