Product Overview: BRICKFORM Antique Release – Terra Cotta (30LB)

BRICKFORM Antique Release – Terra Cotta (30LB) is a finely ground, hydrophobic colored powder formulated specifically as a stamped concrete release.

Applications and Features

Intended for professional application on cementitious surfaces where a powdered release agent is specified, BRICKFORM Antique Release is broadcast onto fresh concrete prior to the placement of rollers or mat-type texturing tools. Its formulation allows it to serve as an effective bond breaker while imparting antiquing and highlighting effects.

• Visual Effects: The hydrophobic, finely ground pigment formulation becomes partially embedded in relief areas to create secondary color effects. It can be used in matching or contrasting colors to produce shading and highlights on stamped concrete.
• Storage and Handling: Supplied in moisture-resistant 5-gallon buckets suitable for jobsite handling and storage.
