Cleaning, Repairs & Maintainence

Concrete is a sticky material that can quickly build-up on items that are not maintained.  Reid can show you the way in keeping formwork and equipment in top condition.  Where concrete products have been damaged, patching products are available to suit any situation.

The solution to concrete build-up on tools and formwork! Kem-Ex-It Plus is a water-based acidic solution that quickly removes hardened concrete, masonry mortar build-up, rust stains, and salt deposits. Ideal for cleaning steel and aluminium placing and forming equipment, Kem-Ex-It Plus is also safe to use on paint, rubber, plastic, and glass.

Quick Patch is the product of choice for patching and filling of damaged areas, connection plate recesses, precast lifting anchor voids and other repair or finishing applications. Quick Patch is a lightweight non-shrink cementitious patching mortar which can be feathered off to zero. Quick Patch is a primer, bulk filler, and feather coat rolled into one, saving time and money in a one-pass process.

Quick Coat is a finishing product for covering discoloured or graffiti stained panels, providing a water resistant textured membrane of consistent colour.

For high strength structural applications, use our range of epoxy repair materials for piece of mind.

Aluminium forms require seasoning to prevent chemical reaction with concrete. In a ready to use water based formulation and being completely biodegradeable, Seasonox is the seasoning compound of choice.

Reducing maintenance costs, Formgard TJ protects steel forms from rust for up to 6 months in outdoor storage situations. Formgard TJ forms a water resistant corrosion protective film, resisting temperatures up to 135°C and the effects of salt water environments, without collecting dust.

Reid KleenSkin is a water-based masking compound for tools, equipment and surrounds, to protect against concrete “spatter”, spillage, and run-off.   KleenSkin forms a thin protective film, producing a non-stick surface which neutralizes cement on contact and prevents adhesion. This dual release mechanism ensures KleenSkin keeps treated surfaces clean and free of concrete build-up. Hardened concrete can be simply removed from treated surfaces by light pressure wash, soap and water, or light tapping. These gentle removal methods avoid mechanical surface damage caused from hammering, grinding, and chiseling.
