5. APPLICATION
Preparatory Work: Form surfaces should be clean, dry and
free from contaminants. Apply Super-Strip just minutes before concrete is placed or up to
7 days if treated surface is protected.
Methods: Your choice of application methods will determine the final appearance of the concrete. Use Release Method when a form release is the primary concern; use a Visual Guide Specification for concrete where both appearance and form reuse are primary concerns.
Release Method: Apply with any type applicator or technique. Use a sprayer, roller, brush, or mop.
Too much release agent will cause bugholes (as seen in CCS 6), concrete build-up, soft spots, staining, and an increased difficulty in stripping.
Dilution with fuel oil, diesel fuels, or mineral spirits will promote an increase in stripping difficulties, excessive concrete build-up, bugholes, soft spots, and staining.
Visual Guide Specification: Cresset Concrete Standards 4 (CCS 4) is typical of Super-Strip 60. See Spray Coverage Rate Chart for specification details.
Visual Specification Notes:
1. With Super-Strip 60, the thinner the film the better the appearance, plus the
forms strip easier.
2. To attain CCS 4, CCS 5 or CCS 6 use any grade of plywood (pre-oiled, B/B, LDO or MDO overlaid plywood).
3. Spraying problems caused by temperatures below 45°F can be solved by increasing spray pressure by about 10 psi. At lower temperatures it may be wise to use a slightly larger spray tip...say 8005.
4. Attain CCS 2 with Crete-Lease 880, Crete-Lease 880-VOC, Crete-Lease 727 or Crete-Lease 20-VOC.
Storage: Factory sealed containers will keep up to 2 years at temperatures from -20° F to 140° F (-30° C to 60° C). Super-Strip 60 is a class 3A liquid for purposes of meeting OSHA storage requirements (Section 1910.106).
Precautions: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Use with adequate ventilation. See Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information.
