Concrete Form Release
BioLube CFR is a readily biodegradable product formulated as a concrete release agent for the concrete construction forming industry for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is designed to produce a void free concrete surface and aid in the release of the form from hardened concrete on a wide range of forming materials without creating a chemical action or causing harm to the concrete. BioLube CFR's low toxicity formula protects vegetation, wildlife, and the environment and is easy to apply with a brush, spray, or roller. Wood forms after repeated use will become water repellent and last longer. Coverage is approximately 600-1500 square feet per gallon depending on form material.
- Complies with EPA, OSHA, and DOT requirements
- Contains a special additive to extend low temperature working range
- Will not cause problems with secondary coatings, sealants, or caulk
- Produces a void-free concrete surface
- No VOC's

Frequently Asked Questions
What Can Be Used for Concrete Release?
Concrete release agents are used to prevent concrete from bonding to forms, molds, or equipment. BioLube CFR is a purpose-built concrete form release agent that creates a clean separation, helping preserve form surfaces and improve finished concrete appearance.
Is a Concrete Release Agent Necessary?
Yes, in most applications. A concrete release agent reduces sticking, minimizes surface defects, extends form life, and speeds up stripping. Using a dedicated product like BioLube CFR also reduces cleanup time and improves jobsite efficiency.
Can You Use Diesel as a Release Agent for Concrete?
Diesel fuel is sometimes used as a low-cost alternative, but it can damage forms, stain concrete, create health hazards, and violate environmental regulations. BioLube CFR is a safer, biodegradable alternative that delivers consistent results without the risks associated with diesel.
Can I Use WD-40 as a Concrete Release Agent?
WD-40 is not designed for concrete release and can cause inconsistent finishes, surface defects, and unnecessary cost. A purpose-formulated release agent like BioLube CFR ensures proper coverage, clean separation, and predictable performance.
What Is a Substitute for a Concrete Form Release Agent?
While makeshift substitutes exist, they often introduce safety, quality, and environmental concerns. A dedicated product like BioLube CFR is the most reliable substitute, offering controlled release, reduced form wear, and environmentally responsible performance.
