Permacolour Release Agents are recommended for use with Permacolour Colour Hardener, or Permacolour Integral Colour and Permacolour Texture Mats. This dual action product acts, firstly, as a bond breaker between the texture mat and freshly imprinted concrete. Its second function is to produce a unique contrasting surface known as 'concrete antiquing'.
There are two types of release agent available, powder and liquid with the liquid being the most preferred one to use by most contractors due to an easy and clean application process.
Apply Powdered Release Agent using by hand broadcasting onto the surface. The Liquid Release is applied by a small sprayer ensuring only a mist is formed onto the concrete, you do not want to saturate the area.
In addition, the concrete should be sealed with a Permacolour Sealer for protection.
Permacolour Liquid Release
Permacolour Liquid Release comes as a clear and coloured bond-breaker designed to decrease the friction between texture mats and the concrete. It is formulated and recommended for use with all Permacolour Texture Mats and with many other architectural concrete texturing systems. Permacolour Liquid Release forms a lubricating barrier that prolongs the life of the texturing tools. It should be used in the texturing process of both coloured and uncoloured concrete. It is also used as an alternative to powdered release agents that may not be desired in certain circumstances, such as interior projects.
