Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Uses
- GCC-100 can be used on various types of forms (wood, steel, as well as fiberglass, aluminum and fiber tubes). GCC-100 increases the life of wood forms by penetrating into the wood to waterproof and prevent deterioration. It reduces maintenance requirements on metal forms because it forms a rustproof film that makes the metal form essentially self-cleaning and rust-free.
- GCC-100 should be applied to fiber tube forms even though they may be pre-coated. Tubes will strip much easier, even 60 to 90 days later. If tubes are stripped in 5 to 10 days, hand rubbing is greatly facilitated when tubes are coated with Release Guard II. GCC-100 cuts machine cleanup time and minimizes concrete build-up. Pavers, trucks, mixers, spreader-finishers, buggies, chutes, and other types of equipment should be sprayed daily. GCC-100 can be applied on forms for prestressed and precast concrete to produce a better and cleaner cast. The product will not stain or discolor concrete.
- Applications
- Surface Preparation: Form surfaces are to be thoroughly cleaned prior to application. All rust, scale and previously used form release agents must be removed in accordance with good concrete practices.
- Method of Application: Spraying is the ideal method of application. Use a Chapin 8001 spray tip that produces a flow of 1/10 of one gallon per minute. GCC-100 may also be applied by roller coating, mopping or brushing. A thin film should be applied for maximum economy and efficiency. Runs or puddles need to be brushed out. For metal forms, the best results are obtained with a spray-on "fog" application of Release Guard II
- Clean up: Tools and equipment used to apply GCC-100 clean up easily with soap and water.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Coverage
600 to 1,500 sq. ft./gal. (14.73 to 36.82 sq.m./L) depending on the type and porosity of the form surface.
The following coverage rates are approximate:
Form Surface
sq. ft./gal.
Hard & Smooth
1,500 (approx.)
Pre-Oil Plywood
1,000 (approx.)
Untreated Plywood
600 (approx.)
Safety & Health
- Precautions
- KEEP FROM FREEZING. DO NOT OVER-APPLY GCC-100 TO FORMS AND EQUIPMENT. DO NOT DILUTE. Surface tensions of certain plastic forms may prevent adequate "wet-out" of Release Guard II. A small test patch application is recommended to ensure uniform coverage of Release Guard II .HEALTH HAZARDS: Direct contact may cause mild to moderate irritation of the skin and eyes.
