Elastic Formliners Shape Your C< Our pattern book contains 250 standard designs that are available to planners, architects, designers and producers of all concretes. There is a selection of timber and plaster/stucco designs. We have ribbed patterns, broken and smooth. Masonary, brick, stone and rock designs, many taken from actual rock formations. Abstract and anti-slip patterns and many others. 2

Ra Standard The use of elastic formliners for patterning and texturing fair-faced concrete surfaces has achieved the widest acceptance from the point of view of quality and economy. Many millions of sq. metres endorse this. The elasticity of the formliners enables damage free demoulding of concrete, even for com-plicated and delicate details. Our system allows architects, planners and builders the greatest possible freedom to meet virtually any design requirements. The production of patterned and textured concrete surfaces made with our elastic formliners has been used worldwide for more...

We can only guarantee the stated figures concerning the amount of uses provided that the auxiliary materials such as release agents, adhesives and repair spatulas that are spe-cially tailored to the material of the formliners are also used. Due to manufacturing-related reasons, not all designs can be supplied in all 3 series. There are also limits with regard to the dimensions. Information concerning which design can be manufactured in which series as well as the maximum dimensions are noted underneath the pattern images. Based upon the varying surface conditions of the formliners, it may...

Custom-made Formliner In addition to the standard formliners in our pattern book, there is a possibility to have custom-made designs from detailed drawings. From these drawings we will manufacture an 1:1 master pattern. The formliner made from this pattern will become a "negative mould" that is used to produce the patterned concrete element. This system gives architects, planners and property developers the freedom in being able to realize almost any requirements in designing. Your only concern would be, can the formliner be handled and transported? 6

Engraved Formliners The photo-engraving technique is a computer-controlled method of transferring pictures to concrete by means of a milling technique. To do this, an image master is first scanned and converted to 256 shades of gray. In order to transfer the picture to the material, a processing file is generated from the determined grey-scale values, which contains the milling commands for a special CNC miller. A milled model then serves as a template master for the manufacture of the formliners. The formliners elasticity, quality and reproducibility of detail allow an economic production...

Make-your-own formliners It is possible to make one's own formliner using silicone or polyurethane elastomers. A polyurethane elastomer is better for concrete castings as the resistance shown towards the concrete is higher. In the case of use polyurethane elastomers, there are 3 different degrees of elasticity available for selection e.g. Shore A 40 for softer elasticity, Shore A 55 for medium elasticity or Shore A 70 for harder elasticity. Appro-priate accessory products for pre-treating the models so as to obtain perfect casts are also available.

Concrte Surface Retarde RECKLI Concrte Surface Retarders allows the controlled exposure of aggregate in the concrete by deactivating the setting of the cement to required depths. Our range contains 12 different retardation depths from fine to coarse with either positive or negative application. With the positive process, our products allow to acidify the concrete surface so that with a gentle wash the surface texture will resemble the appearance of sandstone. Other depths of exposure and surface textures are also possible. 12

■ Surface Protection Systei RECKLI Surface Protection Systems are used to provide protection to the concrete against moisture penetration, weather and other chemical actions. For use on precast concrete faades, cast stone structures and in bridge, parapet and tunnel construction. The main cause of weathering and damage to buildings is water. It penetrates the concrete surfaces with pollutants, micro-organisms and salts. In turn, this may lead to severe damage to the building fabric over time. With our surface protective products, we assist the protection of concrete in the long term. It is...
