About This Product
Concentrated Concrete Form Release
BLUE BEAR® 800GP Concrete Form Release is a high-yield release agent developed for general concrete construction, with an emphasis on wood forms. The concentrated formula creates a barrier between fresh concrete and the form surface, helping forms separate cleanly while reducing sticking during removal.
Clean Release with Fine Surface Detail
Excellent wettability promotes consistent coverage across the form surface and helps reproduce fine concrete detail with little to no dusting. The non-staining formula leaves a paintable concrete surface, making it suitable for projects where the finished concrete will receive paint or another compatible coating.
Compatible with Multiple Form Materials
This concrete release agent works with wood, metal, plastic, styrene, urethane, and fiberglass forms. Its broad compatibility supports construction projects that use multiple forming materials while delivering consistent release performance across the listed surfaces.
High-Yield Biodegradable Formula
The biodegradable concentrate contains no petroleum distillates and provides average coverage of approximately 2,500 square feet per gallon. Its concentrated design reduces the amount of product needed for larger concrete forming projects while maintaining clean release and detailed finished surfaces.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What form materials can BLUE BEAR 800GP be used on?
BLUE BEAR 800GP was developed primarily for wood forms and also provides clean release from metal, plastic, styrene, urethane, and fiberglass forms. This broad compatibility makes it useful for construction projects that incorporate multiple forming materials while maintaining consistent concrete release performance.
Does BLUE BEAR 800GP leave a paintable concrete surface?
Yes. The non-staining formula leaves a paintable concrete surface when mixed and applied correctly. Its excellent wettability also helps reproduce fine detail with little to no dusting. Any paint or coating should still be installed according to its manufacturer’s surface preparation and compatibility requirements.
How is BLUE BEAR 800GP Concrete Form Release mixed?
Mix one part BLUE BEAR 800GP concentrate with 20 parts clean water and shake or stir until the solution is uniform. Average coverage is approximately 2,500 square feet per gallon of concentrate. Actual coverage may vary with the form material, surface condition, and application thickness.
Do new or previously treated forms require preparation?
Season new forms by applying a generous coat of 800GP and allowing it to dry, then apply a second coat before use. Previously treated forms should have loose particles removed and old oil or release residue cleaned to a usable condition before applying the new release agent.
How should BLUE BEAR 800GP be applied?
BLUE BEAR 800GP can be applied using conventional methods, although spray application is recommended for consistent coverage. Remove any puddles and allow the release agent to dry thoroughly before placing concrete. Even application helps produce clean separation, fine surface detail, and little to no dusting.
Can BLUE BEAR 800GP be applied in cold or wet conditions?
Apply 800GP only when the forms are dry and the temperature is above 32°F (0°C). Do not apply it during steady rain or to forms that remain wet from rain or cleanup water. Suitable conditions help the diluted release agent coat and dry properly.
How are spills and overspray cleaned?
Spills and overspray can be cleaned with water. Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles and protective clothing while handling the concentrate or diluted solution. Avoid skin and eye contact, and dispose of contaminated absorbent materials according to applicable local, state, and federal requirements.
Can the diluted form release be stored for later use?
The diluted solution may begin separating when left undisturbed for one week or longer. Before using it again, shake or mix the solution until it becomes uniform throughout. Store the product according to its label and inspect the mixture before applying it to the forms.
