Reebol Emulsion Xtra - 20 KG

Description

Reebol Emulsion Xtra

Concentrated and emulsified chemical mould release agent

Uses
For easy and stain free release of concrete Moulds and formwork of all types. Particularly where wooden formwork is used and de-Moulding or stripping times exceed 24 hours.

Description of Reebol Emulsion Xtra

Reebol Emulsion Xtra is supplied as a pale amber liquid which turns emulsifier when diluted with water to produce a chemical release agent, combining the outstanding release properties of such materials with the economy of a conventional oil. It reacts with the alkali in the concrete to form a thin water repellent skin on the surface of the mould which enables easy stripping from the hardened concrete.

Advantages:

• Non-staining: No cleaning of unsightly oil stains if plastering is not required.
• High quality: Produces really fair faced fi knish concrete.
• Versatile: Can be used on all types of Moulds.
•  Minimizes cleaning: Makes cleaning of form faces between pours very easy.
• Concentrate form: Reduces storage and transport costs.
• Water based: Only requires water for dilution.
• Aids corrosion inhibition

Properties

Dilution rate – 1 part Rebol Emulsion Xtra: 6parts clear water (by volume).

Formwork surfaces – May be used on wooden or metal surfaces. Particularly eff active on resinous coated surfaces
including Rebol Formicate coated wooden surfaces.

Non-staining – Can be used safely with white cement.

Specific c Gravity – Typically 0.93 to 0.96 at 270C

Application instructions: Mixing

First dilute Reebel Emulsion Xtra concentrate in the proportion of 1:6 with water, using a clean container and stirring thoroughly until evenly mixed. If the solution is not used the same day, it should be stirred again before use and may require very good stirring after 5 days.

New Moulds: No preparation is normally necessary Metal Moulds showing signs of rust, must be wire brushed or treated
with emery cloth and burnished clean before coating.

New timber : Plywood will give superior results and much extended re-use if fi rest coated with Rebol Formicate.

Used Moulds : Must be thoroughly clean and free from old concrete, dirt, cement laitance, old Mould oil and other

contaminations. Use a strong detergent for removal of oil and grease; Reeba Klens for cement and concrete deposits.

Application: Apply the Rebol 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 fi rst 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 fi am of Rebol Emulsion Xtra should be applied. Excess could lead to surface dusting of the concrete.
The best results are obtained by applying with a fi ne mist sprayer. Where a cloth is used, it should fi rest be soaked in
the release agent and then squeezed out well before applying. This ensures the thinnest possible fi am. Rebol Emulsion Extra is not generally recommended where demolding is required within 24 hours, although excellent results may be obtained with shorter times.
Drying time : It is essential that the Rebol 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 : 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 aft acted 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 recoated with Rebol Emulsion Xtra each time, in accordance
with normal practice.

Packaging:
Reebol Emulsion Xtra is supplied in 5, 20 and 200 liter containers.

Coverage

1 litre of Reebol Emulsion Xtra when diluted with 6 litres of water will cover 80 to 180 m2
depending upon the nature of the substrate.

The highest coverage rate must be aimed for – As a guide : unsealed timber or plywood – 80 to 115 m2
/ 7 litres of solution. Steel or sealed (Reebol Formcote coated) plywood – 120 to 180 m2 / 7 litres of solution.

If coverage rates are appreciably less than these and satisfactory results are not being achieved, then coverages should be increased as close to the higher figure as possible.

Storage

Reebol Emulsion Xtra has a shelf life of 12 months provided the temperature is kept in the range of 50
C – 400 C. If this temperature is exceeded in any respect, advice should be sought from the supplier.
Diluted Reebol Emulsion Xtra will remain stable for at least 5 days but must be re-stirred before use.
