ECO-COAT
Concrete Form Release Agent

DESCRIPTION
ECO-COAT concrete form release agent is a natural oil-based product, which provides quick easy and clean release of concrete forms.  ECO-COAT acts as a bond breaker and form cleaner, is non-staining, will not wash off once it has dried, cuts clean-up time, and eliminates voids, defects, and buildup of concrete.

USES
ECO-COAT is used to prevent concrete from bonding to forms.  ECO-COAT may be used on sealed or unsealed plywood forms, timber, metal, spiral-wound tube, fiberglass, and plastic.  ECO-COAT may also be used to prevent concrete from bonding to paving machines, precast equipment, mixers, vibrators, and other concrete equipment.  ECO-COAT is particularly suited to applications where the noxious and flammable vapours of conventional solvent-based release agents are a concern and where a safe, high quality form release is required.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• Designed as an all-purpose form release agent.
• Will work well under a variety of situations.
• Comes ready to use.

PACKAGING

205 Litre Drum

COVERAGE
The coverage rate of ECO-COAT will vary depending on the method of application and the substrate.  The following table is a guide only.

Plywood                12 – 18 m²/L (600 – 900 ft.²)
Timber                   8 – 16 m²/L (400 – 800 ft.²/gal.)
Steel                       18 – 30 m²/L (900 – 1500 ft.²/gal.)

SHELF LIFE
When stored indoors in original, unopened containers at temperatures between 4° – 32° C, optimum performance and best use is obtained within two years of date of manufacture.

TECHNICAL DATA
Color:                                       Dark Yellow-Amber
Application Temperature:  Greater than -10^o C

APPLICATION
Surface Preparation … Ensure that forms are clean, dry, and smooth.  If plywood edges are worn, apply a coat or two of ECO-COAT to the edges.

Application Method … ECO-COAT is suitable for application by sprayer (such as a Chapin 1949), roller, brush, or rag. A low-pressure spray nozzle with a 0.379 LPM (0.1 GPM) spray rate is most commonly used.

Apply ECO-COAT using care not to over-apply.  Surface retardation may result from over-application.  Two light coats are preferable to one heavy coat.  Apply second coat at right angles to the first.  Allow a few minutes to dry before placing concrete.  All forms should be recoated before each subsequent use.
