SureCrete Powder Release Agent — Colored Concrete Release

SureCrete Powder Release Agent is a professional-grade colored powder release designed to prevent stamping tools from sticking to wet concrete while adding a rich, natural-looking antique effect. The formula forms a moisture barrier between concrete and stamps, ensuring clean impressions and vibrant color contrast on patios, walkways, driveways, and overlays.

Key Features & Benefits

Prevents stamping tools from sticking to fresh concrete
Creates a protective moisture barrier for cleaner impressions
Adds a secondary accent color for authentic, two-tone effects
Enhances texture depth in stone, slate, and wood patterns
Formulated with iron oxide pigments for long-lasting color stability

How It Works

This powder release agent is broadcast directly over freshly troweled concrete before stamping. It ensures that mats lift cleanly, preventing puckering or surface tearing. The result is a natural, weathered appearance that highlights the details of stamped concrete patterns.

Application Instructions

Masking: Protect surrounding areas from airborne dust.
Broadcasting: Use a mason’s brush to apply evenly 1–2 rows ahead of stamping.
Surface Prep: Apply after the final troweling, when no bleed water remains.
Stamping: Lightly dust tools at the start; avoid over-application or clumping.
Cleanup: Once cured, sweep and rinse off excess. Leave color in grout lines for a realistic antique effect.

Coverage

1 pail covers approximately 750–1,000 sq. ft., depending on surface texture and application thickness.
