Perma Cast Antiquing Release

Perma Cast Antiquing Release is a color powdered bond breaker used with stamping mats, texturing skins and texture rollers. It provides accent colors that complement or contrast with the underlying concrete surface. Additionally, it enhances the transfer of the detailed pattern and texture, and prolongs the surface life of the stamping mat or texturing tool. Perma Cast Antiquing Release is compatible with integrally colored concrete, color hardened concrete and stampable cementitious overlays. It is a finely ground, streak free powder that is a blend of UV-resistant pigments and water repelling additives. To use Perma Cast Antiquing Release, broadcast it over the concrete surface prior to placing the stamping or texturing tools. As the imprinting tool is pressed into the plastic concrete surface, a portion of the Perma Cast Antiquing Release is embedded into the textured surface of the concrete. As the tool is removed, it breaks cleanly, without marring the colored concrete surface. Upon washing and sealing, the difference in color between the base concrete and the release creates a visually attractive, antiqued look to the concrete. The added color visually enhances the depth of the texture. The amount of release agent retained on the concrete will vary. Perma Cast Antiquing Release can be used in matching or contrasting colors to create a variety of effects. A combination of colors can add interesting shading and highlights to the finished concrete surface. Perma Cast Antiquing Release is available in 14 standard colors, as well as colors selected from the Perma Cast ® Color Hardener Color Chart. The resultant release colors may not be an exact match to concrete colored with those of integral or shake-on colors. Custom colors and color matching are available with ample lead-time, without up charges or minimums. Perma Cast Antiquing Release is a versatile and easy-to-use product that can add a touch of beauty and sophistication to any concrete surface.
