Description
Opus Easycon DS is a chemical release agent specifically formulated to give an easy release of formwork and high quality surface finishes to concrete. Equally suitable for use with form liner systems.
BENEFITS
- Opus Easycon DS is suitable for use with all types of formwork.
- It is a suspension and sediment free, highly mobile liquid, which can be used in very fine sprays without clogging the jets.
- Has no unpleasant odour even when using a fine fog spray.
- Very economic coverage rates can be obtained without difficulty.
- Retains its mobility at low temperatures.
- It may be applied immediately before casting, or treated forms may be left until apparently dry.
- May be used to affect positive release with liner systems. (Rubber, neoprene and EPS.) Continued use gives progressively better results on timber formwork.
- Dries in 2-3 hours to give a safe walking surface on soffit shutters that are not affected by rain.
