Smooth-On introduces AquaCon water-based concrete release agent

Smooth-On has introduced AquaCon, a water-based concrete release agent that aids in releasing concrete castings from Smooth-On rubber molds and other surfaces such as melamine, metal and non-porous (sealed) wood. It provides a clean, positive release, does not interfere with color or surface detail and helps minimize bug holes and air bubbles in finished castings.

AquaCon is low cost – use it straight or dilute with up to 8 parts water. (See dilution recommendations) AquaCon is water-based and eco-friendly – it contains no VOCs, carcinogens or oils harmful to the environment. AquaCon does not stain concrete or affect color surface detail or finishing. The use of AquaCon minimizes bug holes and air bubbles. It contains no oils that will cause rubber molds to soften, shrink or swell. AquaCon does not build up, so it helps to keep molds clean and extend the useful life of the mold. When applied in a thin film (.0005 in / .013 mm), 1 undiluted gallon covers 3,200 square feet (297 square meters). AquaCon is applied via brush, roller or non-aerosol spray.
