Ekan® OIL 150-A
Form Release Agent
EKAN®OIL 150-A 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.
EKAN®OIL 150-A is water-based and can be diluted with water.
Before applying EKAN®OIL 150-A, the formwork surface should be cleaned out properly and the final application area should be dry. This involves the removal of any wooden, steel particles, debris or dust from the surface.
Technical Data
Application
Consumption: The recommended usage rate for EKAN®OIL 150-A is 15-20% by weight.
Generally, 1 L of EKAN®OIL 150-A is sufficient for the treatment of 4-6 m2 formwork surface by brushing.Overapplication might cause the concrete face damage.
Measures
For best performance, EKAN®OIL 150-A should be applied on the formwork as a single thin layer. EKAN®OIL 150-A should either be homogenously sprayed, or spread with a plain or roller brush.
EKAN®OIL 150-A 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.
Advantages
EKAN®OIL 150-A 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 150-A effect.
High viscosity formula does not cause blockage in the spray equipment.
