Ecocure Water Based Concrete Curing Compound 205 Ltrs

Uses

• Locks in moisture into freshly cast concrete surfaces to prevent premature drying out
• Reducing the risks of surface cracking and dusting
• The tinted version allows areas to be easily identified
• The dye breaks down on exposure to UV light and will not permanently discolour the concrete

Advantages

• Economical and easy to use
• Tinted grade available to assist identification during application
• Prevents premature drying out of the concrete surface reducing the risks of surface cracking and reducing the risk of surface dusting
• Improves the durability of the concrete surface
• Silane compatible, guaranteed not to adversely affect the bond of subsequent coatings, screeds or renders

Application

For freshly cast surfaces:

• Apply as soon as final tamping or trowelling has been finished
• If surface water is present a second application is desirable as soon as the surface water has evaporated
• Make sure the correct rate is used to avoid ponding as it may glaze the surface of the concrete

For surfaces struck from shuttering:

• Flood coat with water as soon as the formwork is struck, apply the chosen grade as soon as the water has run off
• If this is not carried out it is possible that the curing compound will be “sucked” below the concrete surface leaving the surface unprotected
• If the Tinted grade has been used UV light may not be able to act upon the “fugitive dye” thus leaving the concrete with a permanent colour
• This advice is applicable whatever grade you may be using

Note: Care should be taken that over spray does not get onto paint or glass as it may cause permanent damage if not rinsed off immediately.
