Instructions for using lubricant for molds and formwork:

1. Preparing the mold surface

Make sure the surface of the mold is free of dust, dirt and previous grease residue.
If necessary, pre-clean the surface of the mold to remove old grease or dirt.

2. Applying lubricant

Before use, make sure that the mold and form release agent is in working order.
Shake the lubricant container to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Select the appropriate tool for applying lubricant: roller, brush or brush, depending on the size and shape of the surface.
Apply the lubricant evenly over the entire surface of the mold. Make sure the entire surface is evenly covered.

3. Optimal lubricant consumption

Calculate the optimal lubricant consumption according to the type of mold surface:

On a wooden surface: 1 liter per 20-40 m².
On plastic or metal surfaces: 1 liter per 65-80 m².

4. After use

After applying the release agent, allow time for it to dry and adhere to the surface of the form before concreting.
Make sure that the lubricant has completely penetrated the pores of the mold surface and formed a protective layer.

5. Concreting process

After applying the lubricant, you can begin the concreting process.
Ensure proper distribution and compaction of the concrete mixture inside the mold.

6. After use

After completing the concreting process, clean the forms of any remaining concrete and remaining grease.
Store lubricant according to package instructions in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

This instruction will help you apply mold and form release agent correctly, ensuring excellent release of concrete products from the mold and protecting mold surfaces from corrosion and wear.

What is formwork lubricant and why is it needed?

Formwork release agent is a special composition that is applied to the surface of the formwork before pouring concrete. Its purpose is to ensure easy separation of concrete products from the formwork, preventing concrete from sticking to the surface of the form.

What are the benefits of using form release agent?

Formwork lubricant:

Ensures easy removal of concrete products from the mold.
Prevents damage to the concrete surface when removed from the formwork.
Protects formwork from corrosion and wear, increasing its service life.
Provides the possibility of applying subsequent finishing materials without pre-treatment of the concrete surface.

What formwork can be lubricated with this lubricant?

The form release agent is suitable for use on metal, plywood, plastic and plastic formwork.

What temperature should the lubricant and formwork be at for application?

The grease can be applied at temperatures from +5°C to +80°C. The formwork must be dry and free of dust and dirt before applying the lubricant.

Is it possible to lubricate the formwork manually?

Yes, the lubricant can be applied either manually, using a brush or brush, or using a roller for a more even distribution over the surface of the mold.

What lubricant consumption is required for a certain formwork area?

Lubricant consumption depends on the type of formwork surface:

On a wooden surface: 1 liter per 20-40 m².
On plastic or metal surfaces: 1 liter per 65-80 m².

Can this lubricant be used on different types of concrete (eg white architectural concrete)?

Yes, form release agent is suitable for use on a variety of concrete types, including white architectural concrete.

How long does it take for grease to dry before pouring concrete?

Drying time for the grease may vary depending on environmental conditions, but usually takes a few minutes to several hours.
