Description
1150-CLEAR water-based concrete curing compound is formulated from hydrocarbon resins and may be used on interior, exterior, vertical, and horizontal concrete surfaces. Once applied, it forms a liquid membrane that retains an optimum amount of water present in freshly placed concrete to allow complete hydration of the cement.
NOTE: After approximately four weeks, the membrane begins to chemically break down. When the curing cycle is complete, the membrane will eventually wear off the surface. This process usually takes another three to five weeks under normal traffic and weathering conditions.
Product Features
- When properly applied, produces a premium-grade film, which optimizes water retention
- Furnished as a ready-to-use, true water-based compound
- Produces hard, dense concrete … minimizes hair-checking, thermal cracking, dusting, and other defects
- Enhances the functional capabilities of concrete by “sealing in” the performance assets of strength and long life
- Offers a compressive strength significantly greater than improperly cured or uncured concrete
- Increases tensile strength for greater resistance to cracking and surface crazing
- Improves resistance to the abrasive and corrosive actions of salts and chemicals … minimizes excessive shrinkage
- Can be applied quickly and easily with conventional, commercial spray equipment
- VOC compliant
Product Applications
1150-CLEAR can be used on both interior and exterior applications where paint, resilient tile, or resilient flooring will be applied. Because of the wide variety of paints and adhesives for carpeting and resilient tile in use, contact the manufacturer of the flooring system for application approval on substrates containing residual resin-type curing compounds. A small test application is also recommended.
Coverage
Approximately 200 ft2/gal.
Coverage is approximate and may vary depending on surface finish/texture, concrete condition, climatic conditions, etc.
