al drawing under the pattern photos in this book are average values and nominal dimensions which have the stated toler- ances. In using these sizes for the calcu- lation of your requirements you should not expect that there is an equal repeti- tion of measurements within the same formliner. The same criteria will apply whether you place two full sizes sheet formliners together or two or more ‘made to measure’ (smaller) formliners. The maximum formliner dimensions are noted underneath the structure images. Some formliners can only be supplied with the stated fixed dimensions; others can only be supplied in a complete form. You can also find this information under- neath the structure images. All information provided with regard to the dimensions is approximate. If no fixed dimensions are provided, the formliners can be manufactured to any desired dimension (minimum size of 1 m 2 ) in a square or rectangular at no extra charge. When dealing with designs with structure directions, the structure must run to a side in a parallel manner. Other geometric areas or formliners with diago- nally-running structures for example can be produced at an extra cost. Due to the raw materials and manufactur- ing-related reasons, it cannot be avoided that dimension tolerances of up to +/- 1 % in the length and width may occur when dealing with A and E series in addition to the tolerances in the back thickness. Due to their high level of elasticity, C series formliners are subject to stretching and buckling during packaging and trans- port which may lead to dimensional devi- ations. For this reason and in order to pro- tect against frame damage, the formliners are generally supplied with a length and width that is a few centimetres longer than the exact dimension ordered in order to be able to accurately adjust them to the dimensions at the operating location. Cut A and E series formliners can be cut to size using conventional circular saws. The RECKLI formliner knife is particularly suitable when cutting C series formliners. Release Agents Before each use the formliners must be provided with sufficient RECKLI-Stripping Wax to ensure a complete and thorough release. Depending upon the require- ments and type of application, we make and supply 3 different types of Stripping Wax which are Type TL, Type TL-SO and Type TL/W. Please refer to RECKLI with details of your application so that we may advise you of the correct type. Releasing of Formliners We recommend that releasing/striking of the formliners takes place as soon as possible within the recommended criteria for the particular application for which the formliners are being used. If the formliner remains on the concrete for a longer peri- od of time, adverse conditions can result in a vacuum being created between the formliner face and the concrete which increases the longer the formliner remains on the concrete. This can com- plicate the release/striking process and possibly render it virtually impossible. Resistance to Temperature The formliners can used in temperatures up to + 65° C. Temperatures which exceed this value will damage the mater- ial. Should you expect a concrete tem- perature on the interface to the formliner of more than + 65° C due to the concrete mass, production technology, surround- ing temperature or other circumstances, the mix design should be adjusted to allow for the safe use of the formliner within its temperature constraints. Storage The formliners must be protected against intensive weathering such as UV light, rain, frost and any other aggressive con- ditions. This is best accomplished by covering with dark or black polyethylene sheets. All formliners must be stored on a level foundation and kept dry. Formliners deliv- ered upon transport and storage sleeves should also only be transported in a rolled condition using these sleeves. Handling with sharp and pointed objects is to be avoided. Form of delivery We regularly deliver C series formliners in a rolled condition upon transport and storage sleeves. In contrast, A and E series formliners are either delivered in a flat condition on pallets or in boxes. Depending upon the type of structure, A and E series formliners are also delivered in a rolled condition upon transport and storage sleeves Application Guide Line Please refer to our extensive fixing and application directive which is available to purchasers of our formliners. Special Projects The patterns illustrated in this catalogue represent our standard programme. In this brochure you will notice many instances of special moulds, too. These are the projects of architects, artists and contractors own conceptions and designs which we have produced for them and for which RECKLI have many years experience throughout the world. Our pattern and mould making shop can support you in realising your plans. We would be pleased of the opportunity to quote you for your own special project. Making your own Formliners For producing your own formliners we manufacture and supply the Elastomers and all accessories required to complete this task. Please ask for our advice. Reservation of Rights We reserve all rights to technical modifi- cations due to continuous development of materials, pattern size and design. Our production moulds must be renewed from time to time due to normal wear and tear. It is unavoidable that small pattern changes will take place.
