A general-use, premium type form release for use on steel, aluminum, plywood and composition forms. Composed of organic chemicals that react with the concrete to prevent adhesion and provide quick and easy release. An excellent value for the money. Concrete is left with an architectural surface or ready for application of curing compound or sealer, or bondable for plaster, mastics, paint, etc.

Application

SURFACE PREPARATION

To receive maximum benefits of FORM RELEASE GOLD, forms must be cleaned of all buildup and dirt prior to application.

 

METHOD

Spray direct from container in all working temperatures. Apply in thin film by sprayer for maximum protection and economy. Spread uniformly cross spray to avoid pinholes and uncoated areas. Puddles should be wiped up with squeegee or rag prior to use of forms. Runs, puddles and excess buildup can retard curing of concrete. Prior to coating plywood forms, apply one or two heavy brush coats to edges for waterproofing protection. When any material is to be applied on top of concrete, follow the application instructions of the material manufacturer.

 

Cleanup

Sprayers and other application equipment can be cleaned with UNITEX CITRI-CLEAN.

 

Cautions

Non-irritating to skin

Red label NOT required
