Resin Based Curing Compound

Resin based curing compound on a low viscosity Resin emulsion. It is supplied as a white emulsion which forms a white film on drying. When first applied to a fresh cementitious surface the Emulsion breaks to form a continuous, non-penetrating white coating. This dries to form a continuous white film which provides a barrier to moisture loss, ensuring more Efficient cement hydration, improved durability, and reduced shrinkage.
USES:
As a spray/brush applied membrane to retain moisture in concrete for effective curing. Suitable for all general concreting applications and of particular benefit for large area concrete surfaces, such as airport runways, roads and bridge works
ADVANTAGES:
*Improved curing of concrete enhance cement hydration and provides a more durable concrete.
*Control of moisture loss improves surface quality,reducing permeability,producing a hard-wearing dust free surface.
*Reduces surface cracking and shrinkage by eliminating moisture loss.
*Resin-based ,therefore,non-flammable,nontoxic.
*Spray application reduces labor costs and eliminates the need for alternative curing system.
*Rapid film formation.
*AC-CURE-R(M)
*AC-CURE-R(M S)
*Wax baed curing compounds:
*AC-CURE-S
*AC-CURE-S(W)

Applicator Guide for curing
agents:
·
Curing compounds need to be applied quickly
after the bleed water has disappeared, but while the concrete is still damp. If
the concrete surface has dried, it should be wetted with water before applying
a concrete curing and compound.
·
Curing compounds appear white (wax based) when
first applied. However, once applied, and as time passes, they will turn dry
clear. The exception is resin-based,
curing compounds, which will dry to an amber resin color.
·
For easy and adequate application, use clean
pump-up spray equipment with a fan-tip nozzle. Never let the pressure drop
below optimum. Clean the sprayer immediately after using the equipment. Do not
mix solvent-based products with
products. Even the slightest contamination from previously used
solvent-based materials can cause water-based curing/ compounds to become
permanently damaged, stringy and likely to clog sprayer nozzles.
·
Curing compounds should be sprayed and applied
in a very thin and uniform manner. Do not puddle. Too much product will result
in a mottled look. If during the application the material comes out as a stream
or droplets, as compared to a mist, stop an application, clean the nozzle and
start again. A spotted or mottled surface appearance will occur if this
precaution is not followed.
·
Important: The time needed for resin-based cures
to oxidize and dissipate will vary depending on the applicator rate, the amount
of direct sunlight and traffic upon the surface. A sun-protected or
traffic-protected membrane may remain in place for many months.
·
Low temperatures and rising humidity will
cause products to have greatly extended
drying times. Expect this condition in enclosed environments with little or no
cross-ventilation.
Protect curing compounds from freezing while in the
containers. Freezing will render the product unusable and unrecoverable.
