I'm not sure I know what this is and how it is used. Can you tell us more about it?

In the concrete construction industry, form release agents prevent the adhesion of freshly placed concrete to the forming surface, usually plywood or steel.
The contractor intends to use diesel instead of the typical water based one.

The form release agents tend to fall into a gray zone with many teams not documenting them. That said, I would have a hard time with this proposal and would reject it out of hand. It seems like it would pollute (or could) the water ways and the air at a minimum.
