DUOGARD®
VOC COMPLIANT Form Release Agent
Description
DUOGARD Multi-Reactive Form Release is composed of an organic chemical which
reacts with the alkali content of concrete to form a release film that
effectively prevents the bonding of the concrete to the form. In addition, the
product also contains a high molecular weight and a non-reactive, chemically
inert ingredient to assist in clean, quick, form release and removal. These
exclusive ingredients combine the effectiveness of a chemically reactive type
and an inert barrier type to provide a doubly effective separation... DUO... and
the ultimate in form release. DUOGARD meets maximum VOC content of 450 g/L for
Form Release Compounds as required by the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule.
Uses
DUOGARD can be used on various types of forms
(wood, steel, fiberglass and aluminum, as well as fiber tubes). Wood forms
should be saturated prior to first use. DUOGARD increases the life of wood forms
by penetrating into the wood to waterproof and prevent deterioration. It also
reduces maintenance requirements on metal forms by forming a rustproof film that
makes the metal form essentially self-cleaning and rust-free.
DUOGARD should be applied to fiber tube forms even though
they may be pre-coated. Tubes will strip mcuh easier, even 60 to 90 days later.
If tubes are stripped in 5 to 10 days, hand rubbing is greatly facilitated when
tubes are coated with DUOGARD.
DUOGARD also cuts machine cleanup time because it
minimizes concrete build-up. Pavers, trucks, mixers, spreader-finishers,
buggies, chutes and other types of equipment should be sprayed daily with
DUOGARD for easy cleanup and rust prevention.
DUOGARD can be applied on forms for pre-stressed and
pre-cast concrete to produce a better and cleaner cast. The product will not
stain or discolor concrete. DUOGARD is available in a true waterbase formula,
DUOGARD II (Refer to Catalog Number 311)
Features and Benefits

trucks, mixers, spreader-finishers, buggies, chutes and other equipment
| Prevents bonding between poured concrete and the form
| Breaks concrete bond between the surface and the form
cleanly and effectively...leaves smooth surface

Application
SURFACE PREPARATION: Clean form surfaces thoroughly prior to application. Remove
all rust, scale and/or previously used form release agents from the forms in
accordance with good concrete practices. It is imperative, when using new wooden
forms of all types, (plain wooden, plywood, rough cut, etc.) that DUOGARD be
applied and re-applied until complete saturation has been accomplished prior to
first use. Do not use on plaster coated molds.
METHOD OF APPLICATION: Spraying is the ideal method of
application. Use a Chapin 8001 spray tip that produces a flow of 1/10th of a
gallon per minute. DUOGARD may also be applied by roller coating, mopping or
brushing. A thin film should be applied for maximum economy and efficiency. Runs
or puddles need to be brushed out. For metal forms, the best results are
obtained with a spray-on "fog" application of DUOGARD.
Clean-up
Clean application equipment with soap and water.
Coverage
600-1500 ft²/gal (14.7-36.8 m²/L), depending on
the type and porosity of the form surface.
