​MasterFinish 222

General purpose chemical release agent used for all types of formwork which provides excellent architectural finishes​

How does MasterFinish 222 work?

MasterFinish 222 is a low viscosity, chemical release agent for all types of concrete formwork. 

Recommended uses:

• Use on all types of formwork to enable clean stripping of forms and provide excellent architectural finishes.
• Use in all concrete construction whether "in situ", precast or prestressed.
• Application to wheelbarrows, trowels, buckets and other construction tools to facilitate cleaning and provide temporary protection against rusting.
• Application to metal window and door frames to prevent adhesion of cement and mortar splashes during construction

What makes MasterFinish 222 a unique solution?

MasterFinish 222 reacts with the alkalis and water at the interface of the concrete and formwork to produce a thin film of lime soap which breaks the bond enabling the formwork to be readily stripped.
