Concrete Forming Products, Overlays, Facings and Panels
MCO® (Maxam Composite Overlay) is a unique, advanced composite material that provides quick, clean release from cured concrete for many pours without any form oil or other release agent. MCO® leaves a clean, smooth architectural finish on the concrete each time, minimizing the requirements and associated costs for finishing the cured concrete. Unlike other facings, MCO® does not deteriorate as it is being used for successive pours, and especially with high alkalinity concrete formulations, it provides the same quality finish on the 100th or more pour as it did on the first pour, without needing to oil the forms.
MCO® reduces potential safety risks to work crews and site contamination resulting from the use of oil or other release agents, as well as the number of times panels need to be replaced in forming systems and recycled or disposed of in landfills.
MCO® Features Include:
Does not require form oils or other release agents |

Highly alkaline resistant |
Takes a chalk line |
Thermo-formable and can be provided with patterns for decorative applications |

Maxam’s Family of Forming Products Includes:
MCO®-Faced Plywood Panels
These panels are MCO™ factory-laminated onto structurally rated plywood, edge-sealed and with a moisture-barrier back. They can be used in concrete forming systems or for forms that are hand-built at the project site.
MCO®-Faced Futura™ Structural Light Weight Panels
These panels replace the plywood substrates used for concrete forming panels, and can reduce significantly the weight and improve the fuel efficiency of trailers and other transportation vehicles. The panels can be Composite Profile Core, Metal Core and Structural Foam Core.
MCO® “Peel & Apply” Facings
This unique “peel & apply” adhesive allows contractors to re-face their existing wood, aluminum and steel forming panels, and line pre-cast forms. The structural foam-supported adhesive bridges minor holes/gouges in, and hides irregular or uneven areas on, the surface of existing forms. This Facing can be curled or bent by hand for use on forms with a radius, including the interior and exterior faces of column forms, or shaped for use as a liner for precast applications. The panels can be Structural Foam Adhesive, Standard Adhesive or No Adhesive.
MCO/FLEX™ Overlay
MCO/FLEX™ Facing is a very flexible, advanced polymer-rubber composite material that provides quick, clean release from cured concrete without any form oil or other release agent, but for a limited number of pours. It is designed for very large and curved/shaped forming applications, where seamless concrete finishes are desired. MCO/FLEX™ is supplied in rolls and is applied by the contractor to the form surface with a special adhesive supplied by Maxam.
