Application :

Apply the Reebol Emulsion Xtra 1:6 water dilution to the face of the formwork by spray, brush or cloth. Only one coat should be applied ( as thinly as possible except on very absorbent new timber where two coats may be necessary for the first application only ) and allow to dry. If the formwork is not used for several days, a further coat may be applied.Only a very thin film of Reebol Emulsion Xtra should be ap-plied. Excess could lead to surface dusting of the concrete. The best results are obtained by applying with a fine mist sprayer. Where a cloth is used, it should first be soaked in the release agent and then squeezed out well before applying. This ensures the thinnest possible film.Reebol Emulsion Extra is not generally recommended where de moulding is required within 24 hours, although excellent results may be obtained with shorter times. Drying time : It is essential that the Reebol Emulsion Xtra is thoroughly dry before placing concrete. Otherwise, being an emulsion, its performance may be impaired. In condition of high humidity drying times will be much longer than in warm dry conditions.

Rainfall :

Reebol Emulsion Xtra It is necessary to protect freshly coated formwork from rain which may dilute the emulsion before it has dried. After drying the coating will withstand an occasional lighty shower but may be affected by heavy or continuous rain. In such cases, a further coat is advised once surfaces have dried out thoroughly.

De-moulding :

De-moulding can be carried out in the normal way and no special precautions are necessary. After de-moulding : Formwork surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned, but this is normally easy due to the excellent release action.

Before re-use :

The cleaned formwork surfaces must be re-coated with Reebol Emulsion Xtra each time, in accordance with normal practice.

Coverage
