Adomast Adowax Protective Coating and Release Agent – 20kg

Adomast Adowax is a ready to use, brushable wax protective coating and mould release agent.

Adowax is a blend of mould release oils and specially selected temperature-resistant waxes.

It helps with the initial seal of porous formwork and can be used as a mould release agent where the use of a liquid release oil is not practical. It is easy to apply and helps waterproof and protect formwork in all climatic conditions and when not in use.

This variant is supplied as a 20kg unit.

Advantages:

• Ready to use, easy to apply.
• May be applied to damp formwork surfaces.
• Reduces possibility of wood sugar migration and possible staining.
• Waterproofs and protects formwork.
• Formwork ready for use within an hour.
• Protects formwork when not in use.

Coverage:

10-12m2/Kg is typical for impervious surfaces.

In Absorbent and rough surfaces 4-6m2/Kg.

Application:

Formwork surfaces should be clean and free of surface water and dust. Apply a thin, even film of Adowax using a cloth, mop or soft brush. Where surface roughness or features are present, ensure that these are well covered.

On areas of untreated timber or other absorbent materials the first coat should be applied carefully and any excess Adowax removed after about one hour. A second coat may be required on areas of particularly high absorption. Subsequent coats for reuse will be at the normal rate.

With non-absorbent materials such as steel or GRP then a light even coat should be applied by rag or brush and excess material removed by rag.

Where rough textures or deep features are present, the use of a stiff brush will enable excess Adowax to be removed more easily. Over application of Adowax can encourage the formation of blow holes, retardation and/or staining
