W. R. Meadows Launches Tilt-Crete W/B

W. R. Meadows, Inc. is proud to introduce Tilt-Crete W/B, a next-generation, water-based cure and bond breaker engineered to elevate performance, consistency, and sustainability in tilt-up construction. Designed with a proprietary blend of organic materials, this dual-action formula delivers both film-forming and reactive properties that ensure clean panel release while curing the casting slab, simplifying the process and improving job site efficiency.

With a VOC content under 10 g/L, Tilt-Crete W/B complies with the strictest regional regulations, including CARB SCM 20019, SCAQMD, National AIM, and OTC Phases I and II, offering contractors a greener solution that doesn’t compromise performance. This product meets the moisture retention requirements of ASTM C309 on steel-troweled surfaces, providing dependable results even under variable site conditions.

“Tilt-Crete W/B represents the evolution of our commitment to job site reliability and environmental responsibility,” said Jim Becker, Product Group Manager, Construction Liquids for W. R. Meadows. “Contractors told us they wanted a cleaner, easier-to-use bond breaker that performs flawlessly and aligns with today’s sustainability expectations. This product delivers exactly that; streamlining application, improving consistency, and helping crews stay on schedule.”

Formulated for tilt-up, lift-slab, and precast applications, Tilt-Crete W/B offers excellent stability, resists oxidation and wash-off from rain or dew, and leaves no staining on concrete surfaces when properly applied. By combining curing and bond-breaking functions, it also reduces inventory demands and handling costs, a practical edge for large-scale contractors and precast producers alike.

Tilt-Crete W/B is available in 5-gallon (18.93 L) pails and 55-gallon (208.20 L) drums through authorized W. R. Meadows distributors.
