French term or phrase: restes de décoffrages

Context:
SUPPORT : le support doit être égalisé, sec, en bon état, compact, propre et exempt de poussière, de saletés, de coulis superficiels, de particules libres, de restes de décoffrages...

This is taken from the description of a product which is intended to be used for priming and waterproofing various industrial surfaces. I have done some research on this and have found 'decoffrage' to mean 'stripping formwork'. I am still in the process of researching this as I am not sure entirely what this means, but if anyone could enlighten me in the meantime, I would be most grateful!
