This release agent facilitates the removal of formwork in concrete casting projects by creating a barrier between mould surfaces and concrete.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for construction professionals working with concrete casting, including contractors, builders, and concrete specialists involved in formwork applications.

It suits projects where clean mould removal and smooth concrete finishes are required, particularly in commercial and residential construction settings.

Key Features

• Ready-to-Use Formula: Requires no dilution, streamlining application and saving time on-site.
• Enhanced Surface Quality: Minimises blow holes and imperfections, resulting in professional-grade concrete finishes.
• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Suitable for use on steel, plywood, timber, and plastic-faced formwork.
• Increased Formwork Reusability: Protects mould surfaces, extending their life and reducing costs over time.

Practical Applications

This release agent is suitable for a variety of tasks in construction and concrete work:

• Casting precast concrete elements with smooth, professional finishes.
• In-situ concrete applications where clean mould removal is critical.
• Protecting timber and metal formwork during large-scale concreting operations.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This release agent is applied during the formwork preparation stage, after cleaning but before concrete pouring. It serves as a protective barrier that prevents concrete from adhering to mould surfaces.

The product is used systematically: first prepare mould surfaces, then apply the release agent evenly, allow it to settle, pour concrete, and finally remove formwork once the concrete has cured.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation
   • Ensure the mould surface is clean, dry, and free from any dirt, grease, or old product residue; remove oils or grease with a suitable cleaner such as Karcher Universal Pressure Washer Cleaner Concentrate.
2. Application
   • Apply a thin and even coat of the release agent to the mould surface using a brush, roller, or spray. For larger areas, use a pump sprayer such as the Faithfull 5L Hand Pump Pressure Sprayer.
3. Drying Time
   • Allow the product to settle briefly before pouring concrete to maximise its effectiveness.
4. Removal
   • Once the concrete has cured, remove the formwork gently to reveal a smooth surface.
5. Cleaning
   • Clean the moulds after use to maintain their condition for future applications.

Storage and Maintenance

• Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination or evaporation.
• Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve its effectiveness.
• Inspect and clean application tools after each use to maintain performance.
