Shieldkote Standard Concrete Form Release Oil
Shieldkote Standard is a ready-to-use chemical release agent from Innovative Manufacturing of Delta, BC. It leaves a thin waterproof film on the form face so concrete strips cleanly instead of bonding to the form.
Use it on wood and untreated plywood, steel forms, seal-treated plywood and fibre tube forms. Do not use it on galvanized forms or store it in galvanized pails. Sold in 4 L and 20 L sizes.
Features and Common Uses
- Forms a waterproof film that stops concrete bonding to the form face
- Ready to use, with no dilution
- Works on wood, untreated and seal-treated plywood, steel and fibre tube forms
- Pale straw liquid; water beads on treated surfaces so you can see where it has been applied
- Meets Corps of Engineers CE 1401.01 and CW 03101 form coating references listed on the manufacturer bulletin
Commonly used for:
- Wall, footing and column forms
- Slab edge forms and steel pans
