Form Release Agents

Additional Details

Standard form release agent, Precast Release EL contains a physical barrier component, as well as chemically active compounds that react with lime (calcium hydroxide) present in fresh concrete. The reaction yields a slippery soap film on the form surface in order to prevent concrete sticking and improve form stripping.

Applications
