The Right Use of Release Agents
The correct selection and, above all, the proper application of release agents are essential to achieving outstanding concrete surfaces. In practice, application errors occur frequently and can negatively affect the final result. This guide shows how to use release agents correctly to ensure the best possible outcome.
RECKLI Release is an aqueous, ready-to-use concrete release agent based on non-hazardous vegetable oil for residue-free demoulding when using RECKLI formliners. It is also suitable for use on formwork and moulds, as
well as other non-absorbing substrates such as sealed wood, steel, or plastic-coated formwork. It can be used both in horizontal and vertical applications.
① Clean the formwork
② Maximum filling level of the spray device: 75%
③ Recommended pressure: 4 bar
④ Select the correct nozzle for the application
⑤ The optimum spraying distance is 40 cm
⑥ Apply RECKLI RELEASE evenly in overlapping passes
⑦ A thin and uniform coat is key to achieving a good release result
⑧ Avoid overdosing, puddles, and runs
⑨ Do not apply the release agent unevenly
