Product Description
Precast Release #80 is a petroleum-based, chemically reactive and physical barrier type form release agent that maximizes the performance of precast forms. When applied properly, Precast Release #80 produces an architectural finish free of staining, bugholes and other defects.
Works hard on SCC (Self-Consolidating Concrete) as well as aggressive mix designs containing high amounts of cement, fly ash, silica fume or high-range water reducers. Furthermore, Precast Release #80 is ideal for use on steel, plastic, fiberglass forms and HDO, PSF and CBF overlaid plywood in precast applications.
Applications
- On steel, plastic, fiberglass and HDO, as well as PSF and CBF overlaid plywood forms in precast applications
- In steam-cured precast concrete applications where, in fact, exceptional results are achieved
- With problematic precast concrete mix designs incorporating high amounts of cement, fly ash, silica fume or high range water reducers
Advantages
- Greatly minimizes concrete surface voids (bugholes)
- Provides a crisp, positive release
- Uniformly white architectural surfaces are achievable
- Fast drying
- Minimizes form cleaning and maintenance costs and forms eventually become self-cleaning with repeated use
- Contains a rust inhibitor
- Non-staining
- Sprays easily at all temperatures
- Does not impair natural bonding characteristics of subsequently applied paints or other surface coatings
- Low viscosity allows application at very high coverage rates which consequently reduces costs
- Petroleum Based (VOC 250 g/L) – meets Canadian, OTC and LADCO VOC requirements
