LubriForm W is produced based on water and is a mixture of plant and mineral oils that are stabilized in water in an emulsion form. This product is used to facilitate the separation of the form from the concrete surface. This product loses its water after using it, therefore, a thin layer of the release agent will be formed on the surface of the form which is an obstacle to bonding the concrete surface to the form and prevents developing bubbles on the surface of the form.
The allowable range for using the LubriForm V is approximately 1 liter per 10 to 20 m2 of the form. The quality of the form and the instruction to use the agent are important.
The instruction to use the form release agent
It is necessary to clean the forms, brand new or used, from dust, crushed concrete, and the left oil before preparing them. Clean forms enhance the effectiveness of the release agent and highlight the aforementioned properties. It is recommended to use the Betonyse of Capco to wash the forms off the left concrete. Cover the surface of the form with LubriForm W after cleaning with suitable methods. Using the painting brush, sponge and spraying is recommended; however, spraying will have better results. The coverage must be as thin as possible and a thick coverage can reduce the durability of the final surface as well as being uneconomical. The surface of the form must be cleaned once the form is opened.
