Economical Release Agents

Additional Details

Clean Release #3 is a concrete form release agent for precast applications. Clean Release combines barrier, as well as chemically active compounds that react with the lime present in fresh concrete. This reaction produces a slippery, particularly soap-like film on the precast form surface. This film prevents concrete sticking and also provides a crisp, positive release. Clean Release is an economical, standard performance form release agent.

Applications for Clean Release #3

• Less reactive product ideal for lower-strength concrete containing mix designs that do not employ steam curing or forced curing.
• Suitable for use with mix designs that contain lower concentrations of pozzolans.
• Designed for ambient cure conditions.

Advantages of this Concrete Form Release Agent for Precast

• Very economical
• Provides a crisp, positive release.
• Reduces precast form cleaning and maintenance costs because forms become self-cleaning with continued use.
• Resists removal by foot traffic as well as rain.
• Usable on forms with previous competitive form oil treatment.
• Surpasses performance requirement of US Corps of Engineers, GSA and also Bureau of Reclamation specifications for non-staining form oil.
• Ready-to-use formula requires no dilution.
• Low odor.
• Tolerates storage at temperatures below freezing.
• Good sprayability with traditional hand pump tank sprayers down to 32 degrees F (0 degrees C). May require higher pressure sprayers at temperatures below 32 degrees F (0 degrees C).
• Applicable up to three weeks before use.
• Not only will it not stain concrete surfaces but also concrete is paintable with proper surface preparation.
• Use to coat concrete mixing as well as placing equipment to prevent concrete splatter and accumulation of buildup.
