Lanotec Release Agent Concentrate is a lanolin form release you mix on site for concrete formwork and precast, sold from 2.9 L packs to 1,000 L IBCs.
What it does
The concentrate combines lanolin, an evaporative carrier and surfactant, and mixes with water on site. Sprayed onto the form face it stops concrete bonding, keeps panel suction low, resists rain wash off and protects fittings. Lanotec says the film degrades during curing, so the concrete needs no chemical clean before a coating goes on. AS 1580.408 adhesion tests found no coating failure at the concrete interface.
Where to use it
Form faces of steel, timber, plywood, PVC, rubber, plastic or fibreglass, precast and bullnose moulds, tilt panel bond breaking, scaffolding jacks and fittings, and machinery near wet concrete. On site tests at Fiona Stanley Hospital in WA found it compatible with the waterproofing membrane (Lanotec project report). Lanotec's Lano-Form is the ready to use version; for hot mix asphalt, see SlipTech. Browse release agents.
How to use
| Job | Concentrate to water |
|---|---|
| Formwork, precast and tilt panel | 1:6 |
| Scaffolding, jacks and fittings | 1:4 |
- Stir or shake the concentrate until even.
- Add the concentrate to the container first, then the water.
- Apply a fine, even coat to a clean, dry surface with a good sprayer.
- Rinse the sprayer with plain water, and use any mix within 2 days.
- For bond breaking, two coats on crossing diagonals, wetting the panel first in extreme heat.
Safe on / avoid
Lanotec rates it non staining on coloured concrete, and set polystyrene block outs are unaffected. It is combustible and irritates eyes, so wear eye protection when spraying. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
