CX EASY MOULD
CX EASY MOULD is specially formulated blend of mineral oils and chemicals having release properties which are superior to those of conventional mould oil. The chemicals react with the alkali in the concrete to form a thin water repellent skin on the surface of the mould, thereby enabling easy striping from concrete and acting as a
protection to steel and wooden formwork.
CX EASY MOULD is supplied as a pale straw colored liquid ready for direct application and use.
Uses :To provide quick, clean and easy stripping of moulds, and formwork and ensure high quality fair-faced and stain-free concrete
Advantages
Properties
properties | Values |
Specific gravity | 0.83 at 270C |
Service temperature | Suitable for use with steam cured concrete. |
Formwork surfaces | Equally effective on wood or metal moulds and shutters. Particularly effective on GRP and other resinous coatings including CX EASY MOULD coated wooden surfaces. |
Non-staining | Does not stain concrete and can also be used safely with white cement. |
Concrete surface quality | In addition to preventing adhesion of the cement paste to the mould or shutter face, REMOL allows air, which would otherwise be trapped, to escape from the face when the concrete is being poured and vibrated. Pockets of air, trapped on the shuttered faces of concrete, are a major cause of imperfections, necessitating remedial work. CX EASY MOULD avoids time and money spent on this. The chemical reaction between CX EASY MOULD and the cement in a concrete mix produces a strongly hydrophobic surface. This repels surplus water at the interface with the mould and by protecting the concrete from its effects, preserves uniformity of surface texture and color. |
Re-use of moulds | Â Due to excellent release properties, little or no deposit of cement paste remains on the shutter surface. Minimum cleaning down and further coat of CX EASY MOULD renders shutters ready for reuse |
Economic benefits | On account of the high rate of coverage, the applied cost of CX EASY MOULD chemical mould release agent compares favorable with that of conventional mould oil. Having regard to the technical benefits additionally obtained, the overall economy of using CX EASY MOULD can be significant. |
