MasterFinish 222

Chemical Release Agent for All Formwork Providing Excellent Finishes

How Does MasterFinish 222 Work?

MasterFinish 222 is a low-viscosity, chemical-release agent for all types of concrete formwork.

Recommended Uses:

• Use on all types of formwork to enable clean stripping of forms and provide excellent architectural finishes.

• Use in all concrete construction whether "in situ", precast, or prestressed.

• Application to wheelbarrows, trowels, buckets, and other construction tools to facilitate cleaning and provide temporary protection against rusting.

• Application to metal window and door frames to prevent adhesion of cement and mortar splashes during construction.

What Makes MasterFinish 222 a Unique Solution?

MasterFinish 222 reacts with the alkalis and water at the interface of the concrete and formwork to produce a thin film of lime soap which breaks the bond, enabling the formwork to be readily stripped.

What Are the Benefits of MasterFinish 222?

• No discolouration or blotchiness, provides stain-free, "off-form" architectural concrete finishes.

• The high coverage rate makes MasterFinish 222 economical to use.

• Suitable for use with normal, off-white, and coloured concrete.

• Leaves no residue on the concrete finish.

• Excellent "off-form" finish - produces a clear reproduction of formwork texture and sharp concrete features.

• Reduces the incidence of air pockets and the tendency of surface spalling at corners.

• Will not impair the bond of subsequent applications of paint, render, or tiles.

• Preserves and waterproofs timber forms and inhibits rusting of steel forms in use or storage.

• Protects aluminium windows and door frames from plaster and mortar splashes.

• Easy to use, requires no mixing on site.
