Features

  • Easily diluted; it’s stability will not be affected. It may be diluted up to a concentration of 1 part Dry-Cotcell namemulsion to 200 parts water.
  • Excellent stability in either concentrated or diluted form.
  • Remarkable efficacy as a mold release agent; due to it’s fine particles, it leaves a thin, uniform film which inhibits any adherence after the evaporation of residual water. Demolded parts are left unblemished with an extremely smooth surface finish. Do not exceed 1:200 dilution.
  • Excellent waterproofing ability. For porous materials (i.e. Calcium Silicate), add 1 part Dry-Cote to 12 parts water. Mix thoroughly. Apply with a sprayer, roller, or other suitable device, taking care to completely coat the entire surface including edges.
