Formwork Preparation

All mold and formwork surfaces must be clean and free from rust, oil, hardened concrete, cement deposits, dust and other contaminants.

If rust, old oil or other deposits are present, clean the surface thoroughly using suitable mechanical or chemical cleaning methods before applying WHITE SAND MOLD RS.

Application

1. Apply WHITE SAND MOLD RS evenly using a brush, fine spray or another suitable application method.
2. Apply a thin and continuous film over the entire mold or formwork surface.
3. Avoid excessive application or flooding the formwork with the product.
4. Ensure that all areas that will contact the concrete are uniformly covered.
5. Remove any accumulated or excess material before placing the concrete.
6. Do not use or apply the product at temperatures above 60°C.

Application Restrictions

• Do not apply at temperatures exceeding the product’s flash point of 60°C.
• Do not allow excessive quantities of the product to accumulate on the formwork.
• Keep the product away from heat, sparks, flames and other ignition sources.

Yield and Coverage

The consumption of WHITE SAND MOLD RS depends on the formwork material, surface condition, texture, application equipment and thickness of the applied film.

Apply only a thin, uniform coat and avoid excessive application.

Cleaning

Clean application tools and spraying equipment immediately after use with a suitable cleaning solvent.

Do not use water to clean tools containing the product. Hardened or dried residues may require mechanical removal.
