Ekan®OIL 50
Form Release Agent
EKAN®OIL 50 is a synthetic form release oil that facilitates the easy removal of concrete from the formwork , helps in the easy release of trapped air on the concrete surface, and makes it easier to achieve a smooth surface.
Before applying EKAN®OIL 50, 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.
Technical Data
Application
Consumption: Generally, 1 L of EKAN®OIL 50 is sufficient for the tre-atment of 3-5 m2 formwork surface by brushing. Ove-rapplication might cause the concrete face damage.
For best performance, EKAN®OIL 50 should be applied on the formwork as a single thin layer. EKAN®OIL 50 should either be homogenously sprayed, or spread with a plain or roller brush.
EKAN®OIL 50 should not be overapplied, and spread as extensively as possible. It should be ensured that no excess material is left on the surface.
Pre-test is recommended for determining the optimum amount for spray applications.
Measures
EKAN®OIL 50’s shelf life is 12 months when stored in its original package in a dry place at temperatures between
+5°C and +30°C.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Detailed health and safety information is available in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Advantages
EKAN®OIL 50’s ready-to-use formula does not require any dilution.
EKAN®OIL 50 is eco-friendly – does not contain mineral oils.
Suitable for steam-curing
Improves the lifespan of steel formwork by protecting them from rusting.
Contributes significantly to formwork budget and labor costs: Formwork is re-usable after a minor cleaning thanks to the EKAN®OIL 50 effect.
High viscosity formula does not cause blockage in the spray equipment.
