Chembeton Gives Customers What They Want: an Economical, High-Quality Release Agent

End users and distributors alike want best-in-class release agents, but they want them at a lower cost. Over the past 60 years, Nox-Crete has learned a thing or two about manufacturing best-in-class chemical solutions to concrete problems.

Chembeton provides a crisp, positive release, along with a cleaner, smoother appearance than competing release agents. Chembeton was used on the two panels in the foreground.

What you might not know is that our family of release agents features high-performance products at all price points—including Chembeton.

Providing the greatest value and a high level of performance, Chembeton is ideal for plywood-faced handset forms, B-B plywood, steel and aluminum, and forms previously treated with form oil.

Chembeton is a hybrid form release agent that combines both chemically active and barrier-type release properties for a crisp, positive release. Its petroleum-based formulation also allows for easy spraying in cold weather.

Chembeton provides many advantages, including:

  • Dries fast
  • Resists wash-off
  • Mild odor
  • Can be applied up to three weeks before concrete pour
  • Is ready to use, no dilution required
  • Provides a crisp, positive release
  • Reduces cleaning and maintenance costs–forms become self-cleaning with continued use
  • Resists removal by foot traffic and rain
  • Can be used on forms that have been previously treated with competitive form oils
  • One grade for year-round sprayability
  • Surpasses performance requirements of US Army Corps of Engineers, GSA and Bureau of Reclamation specifications for nonstaining form oil
  • Meets all federal, state and Canadian VOC requirements (excludes SCAQMD of California)
