Sika® Separol®-202

(former MFinish 202)

Oil based, anti-corrosive shutter release agent

Chemical release mould and shutter faces prior to casting concrete in order to achieve a clean release. After removal of the formwork, the resultant concrete has a smooth, hard, uniform finish, with reduced incidence of blow holes.
Low viscosity hydrocarbon carrier blended with a chemically active release agent. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

▪ Sika® Separol®-202 exhibits a smooth, hard, and uniform finish. ▪ Sika® Separol®-202 has no negative effect on the properties of concrete. ▪ It will not impair the adhesion of subsequent surface treatments when applied at the recommended coverage rates. ▪ Allows clean, easy striking
▪ Extends the life of formwork
▪ Improved finish for fair faced concrete
▪ Reduces concrete contamination
▪ Economical to use

Consumption

The coverage rate for Sika® Separol®-202 is between 30 to 70 m²/L when spray applied depending on the smoothness, type and porosity of the formwork used.
Application steps

APPLICATION

Apply before the first casting and thereafter re-apply immediately after stripping and cleaning the mould.

Shutter surfaces must be clean and free from moisture, dirt and laitance.
Lightweight horticultural sprayers are ideal as Sika® Separol®-202 is finely atomised to give a uniform coating. Excessive application should be avoided.
Alternatively, application may be made by a fine haired brush, only a very thin coating should be made and any excess removed.
If after the first application, the Sika® Separol®-202 is completely absorbed into new timber or plywood, a further application should be made before filling the moulds or formwork.

 

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Sika® Separol®-202 may usually be left in spray guns or sprayers without detriment, but with certain types, there may be some softening of rubber seals with prolonged contact.
