Description
A chemical release for concrete forms that effectively prevents bonding of
concrete to steel, aluminum, plywood and composite forms. Composed of organic chemicals
that react with the concrete to prevent adhesion and provide a quick and easy release.
Pleasantly scented and free of kerosene, Q-2 FORM RELEASE is a thin amber liquid
that remains fluid at subfreezing temperatures and can be stored indefinitely.

Application
Forms should be free from dirt, hardened concrete and foreign matter. Release
agent is ready to use direct from container. Apply a thin film for maximum protection
and economy, using a Scotchman fog tip to produce high visual impact concrete. Spray
uniformly with cross spray to avoid pin holes and uncoated areas. Avoid over-application. Prior to coating plywood forms, apply one or two heavy brush coats to edges for water-proofing protection.
Increases form life: Waterproofs mill oiled plywood forms to prevent the wicking
of alkaline water from the concrete into the form, preventing the form from rotting
out and raising the grain, thus doubling or tripling form life. Protects metal forms
by chemically reacting and forming a rust-proof film. Makes premanufactured forms
self-cleaning and reduces maintenance costs by as much as 50%.
Does not impair the natural bonding of paints and other surface coatings, when
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Cuts cleanup time to a minimum.
Making forms virtually self-cleaning; if sprayed daily, equipment can be cleaned in
a minimal amount of time.
Q-2 FORM RELEASE leaves no residue or cement dust on the concrete surface, so
concrete is left with an architectural surface ready for application of curing compound,
sealer or bonder for plaster, mastics or paints. When any material is to be applied on
top of the concrete, follow the application instructions of the material manufacturer.
