Resin Based Curing Compound

http://www.applechemie.com/
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.

        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.

        Concrete Curing Compound

        Curing is essential for the hydration of cement in concrete making. So, to maintain required moisture content, come precautions are applied. Concrete curing compound is a compound which helps to prevent the loss of moisture content from the concrete. So, concrete is properly cured which results the full development of strength of concrete. Types of Concrete Curing Compounds ·          Synthetic Resin Concrete Curing Compound Synthetic resins will seal the concrete by forming membrane. If we want to provide plastering, the membrane can be removed by washing it with hot water. ·          Acrylic Concrete Curing Compound Acrylic is made of polymers of acrylic acid. It also seals the concrete in good manner. It is having property of adhesion to the subsequent plaster. No need to wash the surface of acrylic with hot water if we want to provide plastering. ·      ...

        Materials are used for road construction

        Image
        Road consist of basically 4 layers: Sub-grade: The sub-grade material should be clean and free from organic matter and should be able to be compacted by roller, to form stable sub-base. The material should have the following characteristics: ·          Well graded, uniformity coefficient (D60/D10) should not be less than 3. ·          Fraction passing sieve #200 shall not be greater than 2/3rd of the fraction passing sieve #40. ·          Should have a L.L not greater than 25%. ·          P.I not greater than 6 ·          CBR should not be less than 25. ·          In coarse grain, aggregate retained by #10 sieve, %age of wear shall not be greater than 5%. ·          The maximum dia...

        DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR A BUILDING FOUNDATION

        Good design must not only be safe but must aim to save construction costs, time and materials. The following procedures should help to achieve this and an ‘educated’ client will recognize the importance of funding this work with a realistic fee. 1. DECIDE THE LOCATION OF COLUMNS & FOUNDATION AND TYPE OF LOADS ACTING ON THEM On the building plan, the position of columns and load bearing walls should be marked, and any other induced loading's and bending moments. The loads should be classified into dead, imposed and wind loading's, giving the appropriate partial safety factors for these loads. 2. ESTIMATE ALLOWABLE BEARING PRESSURE OF SOIL USING GROUND INVESTIGATION REPORT From a study of the site ground investigation (if available), the strength of the soil at various depths or strata below foundation level should be studied, to determine the safe bearing capacity at various levels. These values – or presumed bearing values (from any standards or codes) in the...
