Easy to Use
KLIN KOT  is the most user friendly water-based release product on the market today. Simply add water to the required amount of concentrate and the product is ready to use. Carry 5 gallons of concentrate with you to make 60 gallons worth of product at a ratio of 11 to 1. KLIN KOT is safe for use on all surfaces.

Economical
This is an adjustable water-based product for use in multiple jobsite applications. The concentrate formula helps reduce waste and shipping costs by 8 to 20 times that of conventional products. One gallon of concentrate, mixed at 11 to 1 with water makes 12 gallons of ready-to-use product and has an average coverage ratio of 2,000 sq. ft. per gallon.

Environmentally Safe
KLIN KOT  is the industry leader for environmentally friendly water-based release products. It does not contain any silicones, solvents or phosphates and ships in a concentrated form to reduce packaging waste and transportation related costs and environmental concerns.

Innovative
As one of the first water-based release products, KLIN KOT is the only release agent of its kind to be used for both form work and as a tilt-up bond breaker. It is nonstaining and non-dusting, providing an excellent finished surface that is ready to paint if required. The usage instructions for tilt-up are only 1 page long.

Durable Protectant
Once KLIN KOT has flashed off, it will not rinse off in the rain. This means you won’t have to re-spray after rain, saving you time and money. KLIN KOT  also has the added benefit of being a rust inhibitor, protecting your equipment when it is out in the field.

V.O.C. Compliant
Means a safer product for your employees and the environment. You also benefit from compliance with all the new requirements.

• Instructions for Using KLIN KOT  on Concrete Forms
o Mix Ratio 11 to 1 — For Porous Surfaces
o Mix Ratio 15 to 1 — For Non-Porous Surfaces
o KLIN KOT gives you the ability to adjust your release agent to work best with the concrete mix design and type of forms that you are using. It is also safe for use on all form types including wood, aluminum and plastic.

Tips for Use

• Based upon your results, you may adjust the ratio by adding more or less concentrate. The more concentrate that is added, the more reactive it will be. The less concentrate that is added, the less reactive it will be. Reducing the amount of concentrate will reduce the amount of dusting, if any, left behind.
• For best results, remove as much of the previous form release as possible to eliminate any adverse reaction between KLIN KOT and the former release agent.
• If your forms have fresh oil or other release agents already applied, you must cast off the previously applied form release agent prior to applying KLIN KOT .
• KLIN KOT  must be re-applied to the forms after EACH use. It can be applied at any time by spraying the entire forming system while either setting up or tearing down the system.
• Allow KLIN KOT to turn from white to clear on the face of the forming system prior to pouring concrete.
• This product may also be applied to the backs of the forms to prevent splatters from sticking.

Instructions
Step 1 – Determine Your Mix Ratio

• Please see the above starting mix ratios. Ratios can be adjusted based upon your results. They may be adjusted up or down in one part increments to achieve optimum results.
• NOTE: The more concentrate you add the thicker and more protective KLIN KOT will be.

Step 2 – Mixing

• Using a clean container, add KLIN KOT and water to achieve the recommended ratio for your application. Adding KLIN KOT to water and then adding more water will eliminate the need for mixing. Do NOT mix with diesel, fuels or oils. Do NOT mix with other release agents.

Step 3 – Application

• KLIN KOT  may be applied at any time. For best results, the application surface should be cleaned prior to application. Remove all other release agents before applying KLIN KOT .

Step 4 – Spraying

• Spray on and then let change from white to clear before using the treated forms. If KLIN KOT freezes on the surface you are treating, it will still work. Reapply after every use.

Typical Coverage Rates
 

• 1 gallon of mixed KLIN KOT will cover approx. 2000 square feet, depending on the surface type. Spray on for best performance and ease of application.

Notes

• DO NOT switch back and forth between KLIN KOT  and other release agents due to incompatibility.
• Once KLIN KOT has changed from white to clear, it will NOT wash off during rain. However, KLIN KOT can NOT be applied during rain because it will rinse off before the product changes from white to clear.
• If the forms are new, you can season them with KLIN KOT just as you would with oil.
• Proper vibration should be used to achieve the best surface finish. Please see our General Vibration Facts sheet for details.
• In freezing weather, mix product as needed. Concentrate will not freeze however premix may freeze.
