Perma-Cast Clear Liquid Release – 5 Gallon (18.9 L)

CONTACT US FOR AVAILABILITY

Perma-Cast® Clear Liquid Release is a special liquid agent designed to make decorative concrete stamping easier and cleaner. When concrete is freshly poured and ready to be imprinted with patterns (using tools like stamping mats, skins, or rollers), there is a natural problem: the wet concrete tends to stick to the tools. This can damage the surface, blur the pattern, or even ruin expensive stamping mats.

This is where Clear Liquid Release comes in. By spraying a thin layer of this clear, quick-drying liquid onto both the surface of the concrete and the stamping tools, it forms a temporary barrier (bond breaker). This prevents sticking, allows tools to be removed easily, and ensures that every imprint comes out crisp and detailed.

Unlike powdered release agents, which leave residue and often require more cleanup, the liquid version evaporates quickly. That means less cleanup, no leftover dust on the slab, and no interference with stains or sealers applied later.

• Clear and Non-Staining: The liquid is transparent, so it won’t change the color of your concrete. This is especially useful when working with colored or decorative concrete finishes, because you won’t risk uneven tints or residues.
• Quick Evaporation: It dries and disappears shortly after stamping. This reduces waiting time and ensures the surface is ready for the next step, like sealing or staining.
• Protects Expensive Tools: Stamping mats and texturing skins are costly. This product protects them from being gummed up with cement paste, extending their lifespan.
• Cleaner Process vs. Powder Release: With powders, you often need extensive washing and brushing afterward. With this liquid release, little to no cleanup is needed, making jobs faster and more professional.
• Safe to Use with Other Products: After it evaporates, you can directly apply solvent-based sealers (like Clear Guard® Cure and Seal) or decorative stains (like Sierra Stain® Reactive Acid Stain) without problems. This makes it very versatile.

• Concrete Stamping Projects: Whether you’re pressing a brick pattern, stone texture, or wood plank look into concrete, this product ensures the mats or skins release smoothly from the surface.
• Cementitious Overlays: Works just as well on decorative overlays (thin resurfacing layers) as it does on freshly poured concrete.
• Both Indoors and Outdoors: Can be used on driveways, patios, pool decks, sidewalks, interior decorative floors, or commercial stamped projects.
• Works with or without Added Color: Whether your slab is plain gray, integrally colored, or treated with color hardeners, this release won’t interfere or leave behind stains.

• Packaging: Supplied in a 5-gallon (18.9 L) metal pail.
• Coverage: One pail typically covers about 750 sq. ft. of stamping area. That’s roughly the size of a 2-car driveway. The exact coverage depends on weather (hot conditions make it evaporate faster) and how generously it’s sprayed.
• Shelf Life: Can be stored indefinitely if the pail is sealed tightly and kept in a cool, dry place
• Application Method and the tool before stamping. Because it evaporates quickly, it’s best to spray small sections at a time, stamp, and then move on.

• 5-gallon (18.9 L) pail.
• A metal container keeps the solvent-based liquid stable and prevents leaks.
• Professional size makes it suitable for contractors, but a single pail can also serve a large homeowner project, like a driveway or patio.
