Form Release Agents
ATLAS RELEASE
Atlas Release is an extremely effective, chemically reactive form release agent that prevents concrete from bonding to formwork and leaves clean, smooth, hard and consistent concrete surfaces. The organic compounds in Atlas Release react with the alkali content of concrete to produce a slick release and allow for quick and easy removal of concrete formwork. The resulting concrete surface is stain-free and ready to accept curing compounds, sealers, paint or other architectural treatments.
Uses
• May be used on many types of concrete forms, such as wood, steel, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, paper, epoxy or urethane coated molds, masonite and formliners.
• Treat wood and steel forms to increase the useable life of form surfaces.
• Spray on equipment such as mixers, pavers, trucks, finishing machines, etc. for easy clean-up and maintenance.
Features of Atlas Release
• Provides a quick and easy release of concrete forms.
• Will not stain or discolor concrete surfaces.
• Produces a smooth concrete surface with minimal to no bugholes or surface dusting.
• Excellent for exposed architectural concrete, and cost effective for all concrete forming applications.
• Significantly reduces form clean-up time between pours.
• Contains a wood preservative to provide at least twice the form life of untreated wood.
• Contains rust inhibitors to protect steel forms.
• Leaves no residue on concrete. Will not affect the adhesion of curing compounds, sealers, paints, caulking or other architectural treatments.
• Easy to work with, pleasant scent.
• Does not contain diesel oil, kerosene, waxes, silicones or carcinogenic compounds.
• Once dry, it will not wash-off if exposed to light rain.
• Can be applied in subfreezing or extremely hot temperatures.
