Rheofinish 225 D: Water Based Chemical Release Agent

RHEO FINISH
225 D
Water basedchemical releaseagent
Description
A ready to use water based, safe, effective release
agent which is friendly to the environment.
RHEO FINISH
225 D is applied to mould and

shutter faces prior to casting concrete in order to
achieve a clean release. After removal of the
formwork, the resultant concrete has a smooth,
hard, uniform finish, with reduced incidence of
blow holes. RHEO FINISH
225 D can be applied

to the formwork by spray in the form of a light
uniform mist coating.
Primaryuses
RHEO FINISH
225 D is formulated for application

to plywood, timber, steel and plastic faced
formwork and moulds, prior to casting concrete,
to ensure a clean release.
Packaging
RHEO FINISH
225 D is available in 20 and 210

litre drums. Bulk deliveries available upon request.
*Typical properties
Colour M ilkyliquid
SG finished product 0.971 at 25C
Chloride content: Nil
Composition
A chemically active release agent blended with
water.
Directions for use
Apply before the first casting and thereafter re-
apply immediately after stripping and cleaning the
mould.
Lightweight horticultural sprayers are ideal as
RHEO FINISH
225 D is finely atomised to give a

uniform coating. Excessive application should be
avoided.
Alternatively, application may be made by a fine
haired brush, only a very thin coating should be
made and anyexcess removed.
If after the first application, the RHEO FINISH
225
D is completely absorbed into new timber or
plywood, a further application should be made
before filling the moulds or formwork.
Action
RHEO FINISH
225 D reacts chemically with

cement to impart excellent release properties to
treated surfaces. Concrete cast against surfaces
coated with RHEO FINISH
225 D exhibit a
smooth, hard, uniform finish.
RHEO FINISH
225 D has no negative effect on

the properties of concrete nor will it impair the
adhesion of subsequent surface treatments when
applied at the recommended coverage rates.
Coverage
The coverage rate for RHEO FINISH
225 D is
between 30 to 40m/litre when spray applied
depending on smoothness and porosity of the
formwork used. Coverage is considerably
enhanced on marine plyand steel faced forms.

Note:
Progressively better results are obtained on
plywood and timber moulds as they become
impregnated and the operatives become
accustomed to working with the release agent.
RHEO FINISH
225 D in general, maybe used over

timber moulds etc., which have been treated with
other mould oils, providing excess has been
removed.
Equipment care
RHEO FINISH
225 D may usually be left in spray

guns or sprayers without detriment, but with
certain types, there may be some softening of
rubber seals with prolonged contact.
