APPLICATION

Apply ROBUSTO RELEASE 108WBV can be applied by using brush, spray or sponge application. Non-absorbent surfaces require a single application. New, unsealed, timber surfaces may need recoating if the first application is absorbed into the timber. If the product is over applied excess material should be drained and then carefully removed by using a sponge or a cloth.

Note: Cleaning concrete forms after stripping using. ROBUSTO RELEASE 108WBV will minimize the time and effort required for this stag

  • Drying Time:IIt is essential that the ROBUSTO RELEASE 108WBV coating is thoroughly dried before placing concrete, otherwise its performance may be impaired. In conditions of high humidity drying time will be much longer than in warm dry conditions
  • Rainfall: It is necessary to protect freshly coated formwork from rain which may dilute the emulsion before it has dried. Once dried the coating will withstand an occasional light shower but may be affected by heavy or continuous rain. In such cases, a further coat is advised once surface has dried out thoroughly
