RECKLI Stripping Wax TL-SO
Ready-to-use Release Agents for all RECKLI Formliners and Moulds and all types of non-
absorbent solvent resistant formwork surfaces.
Properties/ Application
RECKLI Stripping Wax TL is an Ester Wax dissolved in a solvent. Prepared and ready to use straight from the
container on RECKLI Formliners and Moulds and of course on all other kind of non-absorbent formwork. Your
mould material and surfaces must be solvent resistant. RECKLI Stripping Wax TL should be used for the
production of high quality exposed concrete surfaces.
RECKLI Stripping Wax TL allows a mechanical release and does not rely on ‘killing’ the surface set of the
concrete to obtain release. Employing a mechanical release is what allows the superior, non-staining finish to
concrete surfaces. RECKLI Stripping Wax TL is ready for use when the solvent has evaporated from the
sprayed or brush applied film. The pouring and placing of concrete does not displace this film of wax.
Discoloration, clouding and spray patterns etc. which are often encountered when using oil modified release
agents are therefore avoided.
RECKLI Stripping Wax TL improves corrosion protection when steel shutters and moulds are being used.
Stripping Wax TL is also suitable for moulds and formworks that are exposed to heat treatment.
A further important advantage obtained when using RECKLI Stripping Wax TL is the fact that coating or painting
of the concrete can be carried out subsequently without any adhesion problems as so often arises when using
oil based release agents.
RECKLI Stripping Wax TL-SO has the same high quality properties and performance as Stripping Wax TL. It
has one difference, the addition of a chemical release component. It should be used instead of Stripping Wax
TL when the following applications are encountered:
- longer striking times of RECKLI Formliners and moulds, in excess of 24 hrs.
- expected difficult striking conditions due to mass concrete heat,
- type, quality and quantity of cement
- ambient temperatures and other aggravating technical and local conditions.

Processing
The formwork must be clean and dry. RECKLI Stripping Wax TL and TL-SO can be brushed or sprayed finely
onto the above surfaces. Excess material must be removed from any recesses, pattern details etc with brushes,
clean rag or inverting to drain off surplus. With detailed patterns, large rib patterns (hold spray at 45 degrees
from either side) you must check that complete coverage to all detail has been achieved.
Please note that only when the formworks are laying flat can they be sprayed or painted optimally with RECKLI
Stripping Wax TL or TL-SO. As with all other release agents check for complete coverage before concreting.
Consumption
RECKLI Stripping Wax TL and TL-SO are frost resistant. However, they do gel at material temperatures of
approx. 0° C. To avoid long thawing times, we recommend storage at temperatures of +10° C. Do not expose
the materials to direct sunlight.
Safety
RECKLI Stripping Wax TL and TL-SO contain a flammable mixture of Hydrocarbons. We recommend that you
ensure good ventilation when applying in confined spaces. Naked flames and smoking are to be avoided when
using RECKLI Stripping Wax TL and TL-SO. Please observe the safety data sheets and the advice on the label
as per Dangerous Goods Regulations.
This pamphlet is intended solely as an application directive. It does not claim to be binding and valid for all
modes of application. RECKLI recommend carrying out a preliminary test application relevant to full-scale
application every time.
This pamphlet replaces all previous published pamphlets concerning RECKLI Stripping Wax TL and TL-SO
