Alumi-Nox R is a ready-to-use, petroleum-based aluminum form release agent designed for maximum performance with aluminum forming and ideal for concrete mix designs containing chemical and mineral admixtures like fly ash or blast furnace slag. The release agent counteracts the affinity aluminum has for concrete through a mild chemical reaction with the oxidation products present on the aluminum surface. The result is a metallic soap which inhibits concrete adhesion.

When successfully used, Alumi-Nox R ensures attractive concrete appearance, reducing spalling, bugholes and surface voids.

Applications

• On new seasoned and previously used aluminum faced forms to facilitate removal from concrete and minimize form cleaning and maintenance
