Biodegradable Release Agents

Additional Details

Pallet-Nox is a 100% biodegradable dry cast form release agent that combines characteristics of both chemically active and physical barrier types. Designed specifically for dry cast applications, Pallet-Nox offers increased reactivity not found in other dry cast release agents. This product prevents binding and concrete buildup and accumulation on form surfaces by combining pre-reacted metallic soaps with unreacted organic fatty acids. These materials chemically react with the alkalies in concrete to form a slippery soap film. As a result, air easily migrates along the form surface during vibration to produce crisp, uniformly colored and void free concrete.

The increased reactivity means Pallet-Nox provides exceptional performance and appearance for dry cast pipe head rings, block and paver pallets. Surface voids are not a concern, and Pallet-Nox doesn’t impair the bonding characteristics of subsequent paint applications or other concrete surface coatings.

Applications

• Dry cast pipe head rings, spindles and pallet rings

• Overhead plywood, steel and aluminum paver pallets

• Dry cast block conveying systems and pallets

• Both wet and dry cast concrete handling equipment to prevent the adhesion of concrete buildup

• Ideal for use in dip tank applications

Advantages of this Dry Cast Form Release Agent

• Meets all federal and state VOC requirements.

• Increased reactivity not found in other dry cast form release agents.

• Easy removal of pallet and header ring minimizing damage and related patching and repair.

• Minimizes concrete surface voids also known as bugholes.

• Minimizes form cleaning and maintenance costs because forms become self cleaning with continued use.

• Dilutable up to 1:3 with water. Dilution rate is adjustable to meet the needs of specific performance requirements.

• Non-staining.

• 100% biodegradable formulation reduces environmental concerns.

• Does not impair natural bonding characteristics of subsequently applied paint or other concrete surface coatings.

• Green Engineered™ in order to be better for health and the environment.
