Marlease is a
chemical release agent specially formulated to
provide easy production of consistent,
deformation¬free, fair-faced concrete by forming a
micro-thin film between the formwork and the
concrete surface.
Marlease is a mixture of reactive fatty compounds
carried in a volatile hydrocarbon base.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Provides an
easy and clear break between the formwork and
the concrete without contaminating the surface
with non - volatile oils.
Protects the
steel forms from corrosion and eases cleaning.
Protects
wooden forms from deformation due to water and
hence, lengthens substantially the rife
of the formwork.
Facilitates
the production of fair-faced concrete.
Reduces the
possibility of remedial work on
concrete.
SPECIFYING
"Marlease"-should be
specified by name and used as per application
procedures below.
Apply Marlease
onto all wooden formwork, steel shuttering,
concreting machinery, etc. by using a
brush/mop/roller/low-pressure pneumatic
spray.Only a micro-thin sprayed film is
necessary.
Use within 7
days after application on formwork to achieve
optimal results. otherwise re-application is
required.

Coverage
Varies
considerably according to the type of
formwork. On new rust-free steel, the
coverage can be as much as 30 sq. metres per
litre, while on absorbent wood, an average
coverage of 10 to 12 sq. metres per litre
can be achieved.
Packing
25 litre and
210 litre drum and 1000 litres bulk
delivery.
Storage
Avoid direct
sunlight.
Shelf Life
Indefinite if
stored in original sealed drums.

temperatures >= 60°C.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean tools and other
equipment with kerosene.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Avoid direct contact with eye and skin.
Wear gloves and goggles.
Wash skin or affected area with clean water.

Avoid naked flames/sparks and use in well
ventilated areas as Marlease contains volatile
solvents.
