Maximum Concentration Biodegradable Mould Release Agent

SAFESTRIKE is blend of natural vegetable oils and naturally occurring polymeric extracts for general site and precast yard use. It achieves a top quality concrete finish in most situations and with most common mould surfaces. Release is achieved by the formation of a physical barrier between the formwork surface and the concrete. Surfactants present in Safestrike help to eliminate blowholes and provide a clean uniform and non-stained surface.

Advantages

• Safe, environmentally friendly product.100% Biodegradable
• Facilitates easy formwork release.
• Provides uniform stain-free concrete surfaces.
• Minimises incidence of surface air voids.
• Reduces form cleaning to a minimum.
• Highly resistant to removal by rain showers or foot traffic.
• High coverage rate provides economic usage.
• Suitable for use on all types of formwork in all climatic conditions.
• Easy application by spray, brush or swab.

• Suitable for use on sealed or unseoled timber formwork.
• Forms may be stripped early when other factors permit.
• Ideal for achieving release from multi-planed features e.g. trapezoidal ribs, cone shaped column heads etc.
• Suitable for use with white or standard OPC concrete finishes.
• Fully compatible with the subsequent application of silicone or similar surface treatments when used as recommended.
• VOC Free

Application

After preparation of formwork and any necessary sealing, apply thinly, by spray, brush or swab prior to each concrete pour, and as near to time of placement of concrete as practical conditions permit. Timber and other porous forms which have not been treated with ADOSEAL Plastic Formwork Coating or other suitable sealer should initially be treated with a double coat of SAFESTRIKE, the first applied heavily and allowed to stand for maximum absorption before the second is applied in normal manner. On vertical forms any excess material accumulating at the bottom of the form should be removed.

Coverage

A thin coating gives a coverage between 30 to 40m2 per litre depending upon surface porosity. Excessive application of release agents con be detrimental to the concrete surface finish; therefore care should therefore be taken to ensure that SAFESTRIKE is applied as recommended, as this will achieve optimum performance and maximum economy.

SAFESTRIKE should be protected from frost. Containers must be kept sealed after use. The product may require agitation before use if stored for more 21 days.
