DESCRIPTION
DUOGARD Form Release Agent is a ready-to-use mixture of organic chemicals, which
react with the concrete alkali to prevent bonding of the concrete to the form
and a chemically inert, high-molecular weight non-reactive ingredient, which
also facilitates form removal.
This combination provides both chemical and physical (DUO) separation for highly effective form release.
USE
Release agent for all types of forms - wood, steel, fibreglass, plastic and
paper, including pre-treated panels and tubes.
May also be used to soften concrete build-up on tools and equipment; spray daily for easy clean up and rust prevention.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Surface Preparation
Form surface should be clean and free of hardened concrete and other deleterious
materials. Remove rust, scale or previously used form oil from steel forms in
accordance with good concrete practice, especially for architectural or exposed
concrete surfaces.
Application
Apply by low pressure sprayer equipped with an 80° fan pattern spray tip,
at a rate of 0.4 litres (0.08 gal/13 oz.) per minute in a light even coat. When
employing a brush or roller take care to apply as thinly and evenly as possible.
More is not better, a thin coating provides superior results.
New wood forms (not pre-coated) should receive at least two coats before being used.
All forms should be re-coated before each subsequent use.
Proper application is the responsibility of the user. Field visits by W. R. MEADOWS’ personnel are for the purpose of making technical recommendations only, and are not to supervise or provide quality control on the job-site.
