CITRUS-BASED FORM RELEASE AGENT FOR CLEAN, EASY CONCRETE SEPARATION
DUOGARD CITRUS is a citrus-scented, multi-reactive form release agent designed to prevent concrete from bonding to forms. It combines chemically reactive ingredients with inert barrier components to create a highly effective release film for clean, easy form removal.
This dual-action formula reacts with the alkali in concrete while also providing a physical barrier, delivering superior performance compared to traditional release agents. DUOGARD CITRUS produces smooth, clean concrete surfaces without staining or discoloration and leaves forms ready for reuse.
USES
DUOGARD CITRUS is suitable for a wide range of form types and construction applications, including:
- Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum forms
- Fiber tube forms (recommended even if pre-coated)
- Precast and prestressed concrete applications
- Concrete equipment such as mixers, trucks, pavers, chutes, and buggies
Note: Do not use on expanded polystyrene (foam), rubber, latex, or SBR/natural rubber forms.
It also helps extend the life of wood forms by waterproofing and protects metal forms by forming a rust-resistant, self-cleaning surface.
