Formcoat W100
Concentrated and emulsified chemical mould release agent
Formcoat W100 is supplied as a concentrated and emulsified pale amber liquid which turns white when diluted with water to produce a chemical release agent, combining the outstanding release properties of such materials with the economy of a conventional oil. It reacts with the alkali in the concrete to form a thin water repellent layer on the surface of the mould which enables easy stripping from the hardened concrete.
- Easy release, reduces damage to concrete surface and improves finish.
- Minimizes surface blemishes and staining.
- Improves fair-faced concrete quality.
- Reduces opportunity of damage to formwork.
- Extends formwork usable life.
- Minimizes cleaning of formwork before re-use.
- Concentrate form: reduces storage and transport costs.
- Water based: requires water for dilution.
After dilution with water, Formcoat W100 is used as a release agent for most types of formwork allowing for easy stripping of formwork and improving concrete finish.
1 litre of Formcoat W100 is diluted with 5 litre of water to give 6 litre of solution and it will cover 150 - 160 m2 depending upon the nature of the substrate.
Formcoat W100 is available in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 200 litre containers.
Formcoat W100 has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored in proper conditions and sealed drums. Formcoat W100 should be stored under cover at a minimum ambient temperature of 5°C.
Diluted Formcoat W100 will remain stable for at least 5 days, but must be re-stirred before use.
