Approx. 130 m² non-absorbing shuttering (e.g. steel and coated system shuttering).
Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

- 5 - 80°C processing temperature (by means of an antifreeze protection even at temperatures below 0°C).
The shuttering surface to be treated must be clean and dry. Rust and concrete residues must be removed.The product will be applied thinly using the Sika high-pressure sprayer with 4 - 6 bar operating pressure and a flat-jet nozzle in order to achieve a closed film on the surface. After application a flash-off time of approx. 10 minutes (depending on temperature and air humidity) must be complied with. If after the application of the release agent there are still puddle-type surpluses on the shuttering, then these must be removed with a cloth or rubber scraper. It is advantageous to wipe the shuttering with a cloth/washing mop after having applied the spray. Execute a suitability test before utilisation.
