Multi-reactive form release is composed of an organic chemical that effectively inhibits the bonding of the concrete to the form. Can be used on forms such as wood, steel, aluminum, fiberglass-reinforced, all grades of plywood, as well as fiber tubes.
W.R. Meadows DUOGARD VOC is a VOC-compliant form release agent designed to prevent bonding between poured concrete and form surfaces. Its multi-reactive formula combines a chemically reactive release component with an inert barrier ingredient to promote clean, quick form removal and improved cast quality. DUOGARD is suitable for a wide range of wood and metal forms and also helps reduce concrete buildup on paving and concrete placement equipment.
