Euclid Chemical has announced the launch of EucoTilt WB and EucoTilt SB bond breakers. These two new, patent-pending products are designed for tilt-up concrete construction projects.
EucoTilt SB
EucoTilt SB is a solvent-based bond breaker that features a chemically reactive, membrane-forming cure. Formulated without wax or hydrocarbon resins, EucoTilt SB utilizes organic compounds to react with free lime in concrete casting surfaces, forming amorphous gels and metallic soaps. This chemical reaction promotes a clean release of cast panels, minimizing surface defects and eliminating the need for subsequent repairs. EucoTilt SB’s solvent blend enables rapid drying, even in cool, damp conditions.
EucoTilt WB
EucoTilt WB offers a water-based bond breaker alternative with identical chemical reactivity and performance. Like its solvent-based counterpart, EucoTilt WB contains no wax or hydrocarbon resins for compatibility with post-applied coatings, preventing staining or adhesion issues. It is a microemulsion featuring a small particle size, which offers application characteristics and uniform film formation on a casting slab—allowing even distribution of active ingredients. This results in tilt-up panels that not only lift but maintain a clean surface less prone to defects and residue buildup. It complies with all U.S. EPA and local VOC regulations, including OTC, LADCO, Maricopa County and California standards (e.g., CARB, SCAQMD).

Applications
Both EucoTilt SB and EucoTilt WB can be used for cure coats, meeting the moisture retention properties of ASTM C309 when applied to hard-troweled surfaces prepared according to CEN/TS 14754. Their chemical reactivity with free lime in concrete supports wash-off resistance to rain and foot traffic abrasion.
“We are excited to expand Euclid Chemical’s position as the leader in concrete flooring products,” said Matt Kwiecien, senior product manager at Euclid Chemical. “Representing our commitment to innovation and sustainability in tilt-up construction, our new EucoTilt bond breakers offer contractors a solution that improves efficiency and delivers superior results.”
