A release agent is a colored powder that prevents concrete from sticking to the stamps/mats used to create the texture or pattern. A portion of the powder becomes embedded into the concrete leaving behind an antiqued appearance. Release agents can be used in matching or contrasting colors to create a variety of effects. A combination of colors can be used to create interesing shadings and highlights. The release agents we use are manufactured by Brickform Rafco Products and are available in the following colors:
