Stamped Concrete Colored Powder Release Agent (33 lb Pail)

When looking for a reliable release agent for concrete, GlobMarble’s Colored Powder Concrete Release Agent is a specially formulated dry-shake material designed specifically for stamped concrete projects. Broadcast directly on top of wet concrete prior to stamping, it forms a critical moisture barrier that prevents polyurethane stamping tools from sticking and creating surface "puckers." In addition to clean tool release, this powder contains integrated iron oxide pigments that provide a rich, secondary accent color. This two-tone antique effect highlights the grout lines and deeper textures, delivering a highly realistic stone, brick, or wood finish. (Note: Recommended for full-depth stamped concrete, not for stampable overlays).

Key Features & Benefits

• Clean Tool Separation: As a premium release agent concrete professionals trust, it creates an essential moisture barrier preventing tools from pulling up wet paste.
• Antique Two-Tone Finish: Provides a rich contrast between the concrete’s base color and the release’s secondary color.
• Highlights Textures: Settles into the lower recesses and grout lines of the pattern for maximum realistic detail.
• Multiple Custom Colors: Choose from Aged Brick, Charcoal, Desert Buff, and more to match your design.
• High Coverage Rate: A single 33 lb pail covers 750 to 1,000 sq. ft. depending on application.

Application & Cleanup Guidelines

• Preparation: The slab is ready after the final troweling prior to stamping (no bleed water). Mask surrounding areas to prevent fine dust contamination. Applicators must wear dust masks, goggles, and chemical-resistant gloves.
• Broadcasting: Loosen and "fluff-up" the powder in the pail. Using a mason’s brush, cast the powder in a sweeping motion evenly across the area to be stamped. Only broadcast enough to stay one or two rows ahead of the stamping tools to avoid clumping. Lightly dust the tools at the start.
• Cleanup: After the slab is sufficiently cured, carefully sweep up excess powder. Rinse the remaining residue with a hose equipped with a trigger nozzle and a soft broom. Keep masking in place during cleanup.
• Prep for Sealing: Leave enough release color in the lower recesses for the desired antique effect, but ensure the higher surfaces are clean enough for your concrete sealer to properly adhere.
