Sika® Separol® W-160

EMULSION BASED RELEASE AGENT FOR PRECAST PLANTS AND CONSTRUCTION SITES

Sika® Separol® W-160 is a ready-to-use, low viscous and readily biodegradable concrete release agent emulsion.

Sika® Separol® W-160 is a ready to use, solvent-free release agent based on renewable raw materials with physical and chemical separation behaviour.  
Sika® Separol® W-160 has the following properties:
  • Low viscosity
  • Good adhesion of the separating film on vertical
  • shuttering
  • Self-levelling after spray application
  • Strong pore suppression
  • No flammable vapours
  • No gum formation
  • Easily biodegradable
  • Easy to be handled
Sika® Separol® W-160 causes:
  • Easy and clean separation of the concrete from the
  • shuttering
  • Protection of the shuttering against corrosion and
  • premature aging
  • Optically perfect concrete surfaces

Application

Consumption

Consumption

1 kg of Sika® Separol® W-160 is sufficient for:
Approx. 130 m² non-absorbing 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 highpressure sprayer with 4-6 bar operating pressure and a flat-jet nozzle in order to achieve a closed film on the surface.
After processing, 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 thin spray.
Execute a suitability test before utilisation.
