Consumption

Consumption

Wooden formwork

~13–21 m2/L

Metal or plastic formwork

~27–42 m2/L

Consumption depends on the roughness and absorbency of the formwork.

These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.

 

Application steps

APPLICATION

Surface preparation

All surfaces to be coated with Sika® Separol® must be clean and free from dirt, dust, grease and any remaining concrete or grout residue. Steel formwork must be dry. Used formwork must be cleaned before using Sika® Separol®.

Application

Ensure full mixing before applying.

Apply a single, uniform and continuous thin layer of Sika® Separol® on the full area of dry or damp formwork using a brush, roller or spray equipment.

For architectural aesthetic concrete finishes, consumption may need to be adjusted.

A preliminary trial must be carried out before full application in all situations.

Cleaning of equipment

Clean all tools and application equipment with cleaning solvent, dissolvent or petroleum ether immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
