MudShield is a water-based, low-VOC release agent that works as both a concrete release and anti-corrosion shield. Its biodegradable formula helps concrete separate cleanly from tools, equipment, and forms, leaving behind a thin, protective film that resists corrosion and buildup. This product saves time on cleanup, reduces rust, and helps extend the life of your concrete equipment. 

WHY PROS CHOOSE IT

  • Concrete release + anti-corrosion shield in one
  • Water-based, biodegradable, low VOC; no harmful chemicals
  • Safe on rubber, metal, plastic, wiring, glass, wood, and motors
  • High coverage with a thin, even film; reduces stuck-on residue and rust
  • Saves time and labor on cleanup

PERFECT FOR MUDMIXER AND OTHER CONCRETE EQUIPMENT

MudMixer: Lightly mist the chute, guards, and external metal surfaces before mixing. After the pour, residue rinses off faster, and metal stays protected.

Other Equipment: Use on drum mixers, wheelbarrows, form liners, trowels, screeds, chutes, hoppers, and truck bodies to reduce adhesion and corrosion.

MIX RATIOS (CONCENTRATE → WATER)

Typical: 1:11 to 1:15 (apply a thin, uniform film)

Yield:

  • At 1:15, one 32-oz bottle makes ~4 gallons ready-to-use
  • At 1:11, one 32-oz bottle makes ~3 gallons ready-to-use

COVERAGE (READY-TO-USE, PER GALLON; SURFACE/TECHNIQUE DEPENDENT)

  • Non-porous forms (steel, ABS, fiberglass, etc.): up to 2,000 sq ft/gal at 1:15
  • Wood and foam (MDO, LDO, EPS): 1,000–1,500 sq ft/gal at 1:11

HOW TO USE

  1. Clean the surface and remove old residue
  2. Mix with clean water to your desired ratio (don't mix with fuels or oils)
  3. Mist a thin, even coat—avoid pooling; wipe off excess
  4. Wait for it to turn clear before use
  5. Reapply after each use for best protection

Simple Application for High Coverage

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is MudShield eco-friendly?

MudShield is a water-based, biodegradable, and low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) concrete release agent. It contains no phosphates, solvents, or silicones, making it a safer, more eco-friendly choice compared to traditional release agents that may contain harsh chemicals.

Can MudShield be used on all types of surfaces?

Yes, MudShield is safe for use on rubber, metal, plastic, wiring, glass, wood, and motors. It helps protect these surfaces from corrosion while reducing concrete buildup.

How do I use MudShield on my MudMixer?

To use MudShield with a MudMixer, lightly mist the chute, guards, and exterior metal surfaces before mixing. After the pour, residue rinses off faster, and the metal is protected for the next use.

How much coverage does MudShield provide?

At a 1:15 ratio, one 32 oz. bottle of MudShield covers approximately 2,000 square feet on non-porous forms like steel, ABS, and fiberglass. For wood or foam surfaces, coverage ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet per gallon.

Can I use MudShield on equipment other than mixers?

Yes, MudShield releasing agent is perfect for use on drum mixers, wheelbarrows, form liners, trowels, screeds, truck bodies, stamping tools, and more. It helps reduce concrete adhesion and prevents corrosion across a range of concrete equipment.

How long does MudShield last?

Store MudShield concentrate in a cool, dry place, between 40–90°F, and out of direct sunlight. When stored properly, it can last up to 60 months as a concentrate and up to 18 months once mixed and ready to use.

How often should I reapply MudShield?

For optimal protection, reapply MudShield after each use to ensure a thin, even coating on your equipment. This will help prevent buildup and protect against corrosion between jobs.

Can I use MudShield on concrete forms?

MudShield can be used as a concrete form release agent to prevent concrete from sticking to the form during the pouring process. It ensures a clean, smooth separation between the concrete and the form, making it easier to remove the form after the concrete has set.

What is the difference between liquid release agents and powder concrete release agents?

Water-based release agents, like MudShield, are liquid solutions that provide a clean separation between concrete and surfaces. They are easy to apply, biodegradable, and leave a thin protective film. Concrete powder release agents, on the other hand, tend to leave more residue (excess powder) and require more labor to apply evenly.
