KleenKote helping Jasmax Architects to push the envelope on AUT buildings

In keeping with the AUTs desire to push the innovation envelope, Jasmax - the Architects for the 'WG Precinct on Mayoral Driveproject (with main contractor - Fletcher Construction), required a rough sawn timber finish to the outside of the buildings concrete core. Never an easy task with the variables associated with insitu or site poured concrete.

In addition to the very fine detail required on the concrete surface, it was imperative that any residue from a form release didn't hinder the application of subsequent protective coatings.


Exhaustive trials with release agents, sealers, and concrete mixes by Dominion Constructors meant Everitt's KleenKote was chosen to attempt to achieve the desired result.


A technical blend of environmentally friendly oils and water the Kleenkote is not only safer to use for the building site but can provide a release for the most intricately detailed forms.


Easily applied on site to forms by roller or spray, a minimum quantity is needed to achieve a result and being non greasy and non toxic Kleenkote is also recommended for use on any surface or machinery that requires protection from concrete splatter.


Kleenkote is also being used to protect finished painted steel on site.


Good result, nice finish!!
