DESCRIPTION AND BASIC USE • MATCRETE® Liquid Release Agent™ is a colorless bond breaker designed to keep texturing mats from sticking to still-plastic concrete or polymer modified overlays. Liquid Release Agent forms a lubricating barrier that prolongs the life of texturing mats by decreasing the friction between the texturing mat and the surface. Liquid Release Agent is used in the texturing process of both colored and uncolored concrete. It is also used as an alternative to powdered release agents that may not be desired in certain circumstances, such as interior projects. Liquid Release Agent should be considered for use on projects that are to be textured but colored later Liquid Release Agent requires minimal cleanup and it's bubble gum scent makes it easy to use for both indoor and outdoor applications.

LIMITATIONS • Liquid Release Agent is formulated to be used with most texturing mats. However, test a little on texturing mats to insure compatibility before using. Liquid Release Agent can only be used on the immediate area to be imprinted. If used on an extensive area at one time, it will evaporate before the concrete can realistically be textured. To maintain the integrity of the surface, do not trowell or in any way mix the Liquid Release Agent with the surface. To make corrections, use the texturing mat and press out the unwanted impression.

STORAGE • Store in a safe place, out of direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed. DO NOT allow product to freeze. Shelf life is approximately 1 to 2 years.

COVERAGE • Coverage requirements vary depending on timing, method of finishing prior to imprinting, and job or other conditions. For most applications, the coverage rate is approximately 200 square feet per gallon.

PREPARATION • Trowel and finish newly poured concrete or overlay surfaces, in preparation of the imprinting process. When the surface has reached the plastic stage desirable for imprinting, Liquid Release Agent should be used between the texturing mats and the concrete or overlay surface, to prevent sticking and buildup.

APPLICATION • Apply in temperatures between 55ºF and 80ºF (12.8ºC and 26.7ºC). Using a pump-up sprayer, liberally apply a mist of Liquid Release Agent on the colored concrete or overlay surface where you intend to place the next few texturing mats. Do not apply over an area of more then ten to fifteen square feet at a time as the Liquid Release Agent may evaporate before the mats are placed over it. To make corrections, use the texturing mat and press out the unwanted impression. When stamping is completed, wash off the Liquid Release Agent from the texturing mats, using plain water and soap.
