Water-based release agents make a multiple contribution to the concrete industry. They not only improve the quality of the products, but also have a positive influence on a wide range of key figures in concrete production.
RELEASESAVE is the name of one of the new product ranges. This generic term covers all release agents from Fluid Competence. These products replace mineral oil-based release agents of previous generations. The high-performance release agents from our company are rapidly biodegradable and have excellent product properties with regard to the release of formwork materials for the manufacture of concrete products. They are also ready to use and reduce potential hazards for employees. Fire protection risks can also be significantly reduced thanks to the water-based and mineral oil-free base.

In our brief discussion, you describe your current situation – and receive a non-binding initial assessment of how your processes can become oil-free, safe and more efficient.
Fluid Competence accompanies you reliably with our partner TotalEnergies. We are there for you at every step of the transformation – from the initial analysis to the successful switch to high-performance, water-based substitutes. Our transformation service combines technical expertise with practical support – so that you can concentrate on the essentials. We remain at your side even after the changeover: with regular laboratory analyses and targeted adjustments, we ensure that your processes remain powerful and efficient.

Together we analyze your machines, your processes and the requirements of your industry. The aim is to provide a reliable basis for decision-making.
After the analysis, we put together a concept for you. Your transformation plan contains time frames, responsibilities and specific measures.
The system setup is the central technical step in your changeover. We clean, check and fill your systems – structured, documented and accompanied on site.
The use of smart fluids also changes your requirements and specifications. We help you to minimize all follow-up costs – in a structured and fully documented manner.
After the changeover, we ensure that your systems continue to run optimally in the long term. With monitoring, laboratory analyses and targeted adjustments, we get the best out of your fluid.
In agriculture, machines often come into direct contact with sensitive ecosystems – e.g. when working on the edges of water bodies, in water protection areas or when spraying. Water-based, biodegradable lubricants minimize the risk of soil or groundwater contamination in the event of leaks. They are also much safer for humans and animals as they leave no toxic residues.
Our lubricants offer comparable or even better lubrication performance than conventional oils – even under high loads, dust, heat and continuous operation. They reliably protect bearings, gearboxes and hydraulic systems against wear and deposits. At the same time, they help to extend maintenance intervals and reduce operating costs – a major advantage during seasonal peaks.
Rapidly biodegradable chainsaw oils are mandatory, especially in protected areas and spring areas. Municipalities and public clients are also increasingly stipulating the use of environmentally friendly fluids. Our products meet all relevant standards and eco-label criteria such as the EU Ecolabel or Blue Angel, which means you are also on the safe side from a regulatory perspective.
We work with you to analyze your requirements, check material compatibility and select the right product. In the next step, we accompany the initial changeover – including machine cleaning and initial filling. Training for users and close monitoring in the first few weeks ensure that everything runs smoothly. We are also available afterwards for subsequent deliveries, analyses and advice.
Yes, our water-based fluids are generally very compatible with existing systems. Careful cleaning and testing of sealing materials is important. We have already successfully carried out numerous conversions, even in older machinery – such as tractors, cable winches or forwarding tractors. Talk to us – we will test your machines individually.
Our products are generally stable for 12 to 24 months, provided they are stored correctly. Ideally in closed original containers, cool, dry and protected from direct sunlight. For customers with seasonal requirements, we also offer take-back and storage concepts – including recycling and reprocessing of leftover stock.
