Ekan® OIL 100

Form Release Agent

EKAN®OIL 100 has been developed as a form release agent for precast concrete production, formulated with environmentally friendly aliphatic and natural esters along with other performance-enhancing additives. It facilitates the easy separation of concrete from the formwork and prevents the formation of unwanted air bubbles in the concrete structure.

Before applying EKAN®OIL 100, the formwork surface
should be cleaned out properly and the final application area should be dry. This inolves the removal of any wooden, steel particles, debris or dust from the surface.

Areas of Use

Formwork made of:

  • Formwork made of wood, plyywood, plastic, steel, etc.

  • Precast concrete, decorative concrete and eco-friendly
    concrete structures

  • White and colored concrete

  • Horizontal and vertical surfaces

Application

Consumption: Generally, 1 L of EKAN®OIL 100 is sufficient for the treatment of 5-8 m2 formwork surface by brushing. Overapplication might cause the concrete face damage.

For best performance, EKAN®OIL 100 should be applied on the formwork as a single thin layer. EKAN®OIL 100 should either be homogenously sprayed, or spread with a plain or roller brush.

EKAN®OIL 100 should not be overapplied, and spread as extensively as possible. It should be ensured that no ex-cess material is left on the surface.

Pre-test is recommended for determining the optimum amount for spray applications.

Advantages

EKAN®OIL 100’s ready-to-use formula does not require any dilution.

EKAN®OIL 100 is eco-friendly – does not contain mineral oils.

Suitable for steam-curing

Improves the lifespan of steel formwork by protecting them from rusting.
