Abstract: A concrete form liner includes a microporous membrane having pores that transmit water, but prevent the passage of particles with a diameter of 2 microns or greater, and a porous sheet having pores in the range of 0.2 microns to 60 microns on one side of the microporous membrane, the porous sheet having an air permeability at least five times greater than that of the microporous membrane. The form liner is permeable to air and water in a concrete mix, but is substantially impermeable to cement particles in the concrete mix. A drainage scrim may be juxtaposed against the side of the microporous membrane opposite the porous sheet.
