SpecStrip is a chemically reactive, mineral oil-based release agent engineered to prevent concrete adhesion to forms and liners
SpecStrip contains no waxes or silicones, delivering enhanced formwork release, reduced concrete buildup, and protection against rust and residue for clean, stain-free results.
Key Features & Benefits
- Zero waxes or silicones
- Enhanced formwork release with reduced concrete buildup
- Protects against rust and residue
- Performs well in cold temperatures
- Reduces surface voids and extends wood form lifespan
- Complies with VOC emission standards for form releases (<250 g/L)
Application Instructions
- Ready to use — do not dilute
- Ensure form surfaces are free of dirt, rust, scale, and concrete buildup
- Apply rates vary by surface: 2,000 sq ft/gal for steel, plastic, and fiberglass; 1,000 sq ft/gal for dimensional lumber and BB grade plywood
- Use an atomizing or misting spray tip for a thin, uniform film; avoid over-application
- Leaves a smooth, architectural concrete surface ready for coatings, without residue or staining
