Overview of Concrete Release Agent
Concrete release agents are specialized coatings applied to formwork and molds used in concrete pouring to facilitate the smooth removal of the cured concrete without causing damage or leaving residue on the forms. They are essential for maintaining the integrity of both the concrete structure and the forms, ensuring a clean and efficient construction process.
Features of Concrete Release Agent
Environmentally friendly: no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing hazards to the environment and the health of construction workers.
Easy to clean up: easily rinsed off with water after use, leaving no hard-to-remove grease stains or residue.
Cost-effective: water-based products are often more economical and require less water than oil-based release agents.
Versatile: Suitable for use on many types of formwork materials, including wood, metal, plastic and fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP).
Safety and reliability: non-flammable, reducing the risk of fire; low skin irritation, improving construction safety.
Applications of Concrete Release Agent

Concrete release agent TR-W is also called concrete release agent or release agent. It is a material coated inside the formwork for lubrication and isolation so that the concrete can be separated from the formwork smoothly when the formwork is removed, and the shape of the concrete remains unchanged.
Water-based Concrete Release Agent is suitable for aluminum, steel, resin, ABS plastic molds, wood, and other materials to mold concrete formwork.
Mechanism of action:
Isolation effect: creates a lubricating film between the formwork and the concrete, making it easy to detach the concrete from the formwork.
Protection of formwork: reduces wear and tear on the formwork and extends its service life.
Improvement of surface quality: helps to keep the surface of the concrete smooth and free of defects, improving aesthetics.

1. Aqueous polymer composite concentrated material through the unique formula milling and processing of environmentally friendly products.
2. Excellent isolation performance and easy disassembly.
3. Quickly into the model, resist water scour, and protect the mold.
4. Concrete surface is clean, smooth and has no pollution.
5. Protection, prolong the service life of the mold.
Cast-in-place concrete structures: used for foundations, columns, walls, beams and other parts of buildings to ensure a smooth concrete surface after mold removal.
Precast concrete components, such as floor slabs, staircases, railings, etc., facilitate efficient production and high-quality finished products.
Decorative concrete products, such as pavement blocks, landscape stones, and antique building components, maintain the integrity of fine textures and patterns.
Bridges and tunnels: providing good release properties while protecting the formwork from corrosion.
1)Preparation: Make sure the surface of the formwork is clean, dry and free from dust, grease or other contaminants.
2) Dilution ratio: Dilute with water according to the ratio recommended in the product manual (usually between 1:3 and 1:5) to achieve the best application effect.
3) Method of application: It can be applied evenly to the surface of the formwork by brushing, rolling or spraying to ensure full coverage.
4) Drying time: Allow sufficient time for the release agent to dry fully, it is generally recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before pouring concrete.
