DESCRIPTION
DUOGARD Multi-Reactive Form Release is composed of an organic
chemical that reacts with the alkali content of concrete to form
a release film that effectively prevents the bonding of the concrete
to the form. In addition, the product also contains a high molecular
weight and a non-reactive, chemically inert ingredient to assist
in clean, quick, form release and removal. These exclusive ingredients
combine the effectiveness of a chemically reactive type and an
inert barrier type to provide a doubly effective separation...
DUO... and the ultimate in form release. DUOGARD meets maximum
VOC content of 450 g/L for Form Release Compounds as required
by the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule.
USES
DUOGARD can be used on various types
of forms (wood, steel, fiberglass and aluminum, as well as fiber
tubes). Wood forms should be saturated prior to first use. DUOGARD
increases the life of wood forms by penetrating into the wood
to waterproof and prevent deterioration. It also reduces maintenance
requirements on metal forms by forming a rustproof film that makes
the metal form essentially self-cleaning and rust-free.
DUOGARD should be applied to fiber tube forms even though they may be pre-coated. Tubes will strip much easier, even 60 to 90 days later. If tubes are stripped in 5 to 10 days, hand rubbing is greatly facilitated when tubes are coated with DUOGARD.
DUOGARD also cuts machine clean up time because it minimizes concrete build-up. Pavers, trucks, mixers, spreader-finishers, buggies, chutes and other types of equipment should be sprayed daily with DUOGARD for easy clean up and rust prevention.
DUOGARD can be applied on forms for pre-stressed and pre-cast concrete to produce a better and cleaner cast. The product will not stain or discolor concrete. DUOGARD is also available in a true water-base formula, DUOGARD II (Refer to Data Sheet No. 311).

PACKAGING
5 Gallon (18.93 Liter) Pails
55 Gallon (208.20 Liter) Drums
APPLICATION
Surface Preparation... Clean form
surfaces thoroughly prior to application. Remove all rust, scale
and/or previously used form release agents from the forms in accordance
with good concrete practices. It is imperative, when using new
wooden forms of all types, (plain wooden, plywood, rough cut,
etc.) that DUOGARD be applied and re-applied until complete saturation
has been accomplished prior to first use.
Method of Application…Spraying is the ideal method of application. Use a Chapin 8001 spray tip that produces a flow of 1/10 of one gallon per minute. DUOGARD may also be applied by roller coating, mopping or brushing. A thin film should be applied for maximum economy and efficiency. Runs or puddles need to be brushed out. For metal forms, the best results are obtained with a spray-on "fog" application of DUOGARD.
Clean-up...Clean application equipment with soap and water.
COVERAGE
600-1500 sq. ft./gal. (14.7-36.8 sq. m/L), depending on the type
and porosity of the form surface.
PRECAUTIONS
For exterior use only. DO NOT OVER-APPLY DUOGARD TO FORMS AND
EQUIPMENT. DO NOT DILUTE. Read and follow application information
and precautions. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Refer to
Material Safety Data Sheet for complete
health and safety information.
