Quick Release (QR3250)

HOW IT WORKS
QUICK RELEASE contains ingredients that physically repel both water and concrete, as well as chemically active compounds that react with lime present in fresh concrete, to yield a releasing compound directly on the form surface.

APPLICATIONS

• Can be used on most form surfaces except foam and soft rubber forms.

ADVANTAGES

• Very economical
• Provides a crisp positive release.
• Reduces form cleaning and maintenance costs. Forms become self-cleaning with continued use.
• Resists removal by foot traffi c and rain.
• Can be used on forms that have been previously treated with competitive form oils.
• Surpasses performance requirement of US Corps of Engineers, GSA and Bureau of Reclamation specifications for nonstaining form oil.
• Ready to use - requires no dilution.
• Low odor
• Can be stored at below freezing temperatures.
• Good cold weather sprayability. ASTM D97 pour point: -30° (-34° C).
• For extreme cold temperatures, use one of Nox-Crete’s form release agents designed for low temperature applications.
• Can be applied up to three weeks in advance of concrete pour.
• Treated forms can be stacked promptly.
• Protects metal and wood forms from weather damage prior to pour.
• Will not stain concrete surfaces and concrete can be painted with proper surface preparation.
• Use to coat concrete mixing and placing equipment to prevent concrete splatter and accumulation of buildup.

PRECAUTIONS

• Not generally recommended for use in architectural concrete applications. Use one of Nox-Crete’s form release agents designed for architectural applications.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Request current product literature, labels and safety data sheets from manufacturer and read thoroughly before product use.
• Site environmental conditions, substrate conditions and construction have a major eff ect on product selection, application methods, procedures and rates, appearance and performance. Product literature provides general information applicable to some conditions. However, an adequate site test application by the purchaser or installer in advance of field scale use is mandatory (irrespective of any other verbal or written representations) to verify that product and quantities purchased can be satisfactorilyapplied and will achieve desired appearance and performance under intended use conditions.
• Application rates necessary to optimize performance vary with the form surface condition, porosity, concrete buildup (if any), concrete composition, concrete curing time, and temperatures.
• Typical application rate range on an absorptive plywood surface is 600-800 sf / gal. (15-20 sm / L). Typical application rate on non-absorptive plywood surfaces is 1,500 sf / gal. (37 sm / L).
• Can be applied by all conventional methods, but spray application is highly recommended. 
• Apply to clean, reasonably dry forms using care to prevent contact with reinforcing steel.
• Avoid puddles, runs and excessive spray drift.
• Treat form brackets, tie rods, concrete buckets, shoring and scaff olding daily or as required to soften existing concrete buildup and prevent future accumulations.
• Clean application equipment with mineral spirits
