Marlease     


CHEMICAL RELEASE AGENT

 

 
DESCRIPTION
Marlease is specially formulated blend of volatile hydrocarbon solvent and Fatty acids, which give superior performance to conventional mould oils, the Fatty acids react with the water in the concrete to form a thin water repellant barrier, thereby enabling easy stripping of the formwork from the concrete surface.
Marlease is a light brown coloured liquid, supplied ready for use- no thinning is required.
 

 

PROPERTIES

1. Marlease is a viscosity, easily sprayable liquid or brush applied or with cotton waste.
2. Marlease is a suitable for application onto steel or wooden forms.
3. Marlease is NON-STAINING and is suitable for use with white cement.
4. Marlease prevents rust forming on steel forms and can also be used to protect concreting plant after use.
5. Marlease helps to reduce the cleaning time for formwork and concrete plant.
6. Marlease extends the life of the formwork due to the reduction of mechanical cleaning required.
7. Allows air which would normally be trapped at the inter-face of the concrete and formwork to escape during vibration and reduces the indidence of blow holes in the concrete face. This reduces the surface imperfections and also the need for remedial surface treatment at a later stage.

 

 

How Cementone Marlease works?

Cementone Marlease reacts chemically with cement in such a manner that excellent release properties are imported to the face of shuttering plates, concrete thus cast using Marlease has a smooth, hard & uniform finish. Marlease does not affect concrete in any harmful manner.
The adhesive of subsequent surface coatings or renders is not affected by concrete treated with Marlease.

APPLICATION
PREPARATION
On new formwork no preperation is required. On used formwork preparation as follows: (a)STEEL AND PLASTIC FORMWORK, All rust, grease and cement paste should be removed before application of Marlease.
(b.) WOODEN FORMWORK All adhering cement paste should be removed and the surface scraped to remove any old mould oil that may be present.
