Description
Castrol CastconTM range of low viscosity mold release agents contain special additives to provide a chemical release
action at the interface between the form surface and the material. Mainly used for concrete they can also be used on
all existing molds and forming materials (steel, wood and plastic), with or without the steam curing process.
Application
Castcon 51 is highly versatile and supplied ready to use. It is suitable for virtually all types of mold and form face
material including steel, timber and plastics (such as GRP and PVC). Castcon 51 is strongly recommended for use
where a high quality and blemish-free surface is required. It is also recommended for application to pallets during
block manufacture. Ideally Castcon 51 should be applied by spray. For smaller areas a brush, swab or squeegee can
be used. Over application should be avoided and for best results the thinnest possible coating should be applied.
Castcon 55 contains special additives to provide a chemical release action at the interface between the form surface
and the concrete. Castcon 55 is highly versatile and supplied ready to use. It is suitable for virtually all types of mold
and form face material including steel, timber and plastics (such as GRP and PVC). Castcon 55 is strongly
recommended for use where a high quality and blemish-free surface is required. It is also recommended for
application to pallets during block manufacture. Ideally Castcon 55 is of low viscosity to give easy spray application
and a thin film, maximizing coverage. For smaller areas a brush, swab or squeegee can be used. Over application
should be avoided and for best results the thinnest possible coating should be applied.
Castcon 59 is a special molding oil, for all types of molds and forms used in the building industry. Especially
suitable base oils conform to the application, ensuring the best seperation effect, and provide a high protection
against corrosion. The base oils also give concrete a smooth, clean and nonporous surface. In the case of an
operation interruption, this product also provides a sufficient wetting.
Advantages
Highly versatile eliminating the need to stock several different grades.
Contains rust preventatives and is resistance to corrosion on steel molds.
Promotes easy striking hence fewer rejects and less repair work
Does not stain and is not easily removed by rain
Gives an excellent surface finish
