Maintenance

In order to use Gatch for a long time, proper maintenance is very important. Please comply with the following instructions.

  • Before using

    Apply release agent over the surface of Gatch. This will prevent concrete from sticking to Gatch.

  • After using

    To remove concrete residues, wash the surface with high-pressure water.
    Do not scrape the concrete from the surface. Otherwise, the surface could be damaged.

  • Storage

    Keep Gatch at a storehouse with a roof. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for extensive periods.
