ZETOLAN®-E: Product-No. 10.070
ZETOLAN-E is a concentrated pale amber liquid which turns white when diluted with water ro produce a chemical release agent combining the outstanding physical release properties of a chemical release agent together with the economy of a conventional mould oil. It reacts with the water in the concrete to form a thin water-repellent skin on the surface of the mould, thereby enabling easy stripping from concrete, whilst serving to protect steel and wooden formwork.
With the ZETOLAN-E, you seriously reduce cleaning time
ZETOLAN-E has been developed through close teamwork with our successful partners in the construction industry.
Profit from the positive experience of your industrial partners or your competition!
Shelflife of concentrate: 12 months
Shelflife of diluted emulsion: Diluted ZETOLAN-E will remain stable for at least 5 days and is easily reformed by re-stirring.
Service temperature: Suitable for use with steam cured concrete.
Formwork surfaces: Equally effective on wood or metal moulds and shutters.
Non-staining: Does not stain concrete and can be used safely.
In addition to preventing adhesion of the cement paste to the mould or shutter face, ZETOLAN-E allows air, which would otherwise be trapped, to escape from the face when the concrete is being poured and vibrated, thereby eliminating a major cause of imperfection. The emulsion spreads uniformly over the surface of the mould, forming a thin gydrophobis film which helps to minimize any variations of the formwork, and so produces a much more uniform surface colour and texture to the concrete.
Due to excellent release properties, little or no desposit of cement paste remains on the shutter surface. Minimal cleaning down and a further coat of ZETOLAN-E renders shuttering ready for re-use.
On account of the high rate of coverage, the applied cost of ZETOLAN-E compares fav with that of conventional mould oils. Having regard to the technical benefilts additionally obtained, the overall economy of using ZETOLAN-E can be significant.
New Moulds – No preparation is necessary although untreated new timber may require two coats. Used Moulds – All traces of cement must be removed together with any surface desposit of prvious oils.
