ANTISOL A

Acrylic Based Curing Compound

A liquid application curing membrane for the protection of concrete from loss of water during the early age curing period.

The Antisol curing membrane is supplied world-wide to the construction industry.

Uses

The Antisol curing compound is sprayed onto newly laid concrete surfaces and will not affect the normal setting action of the concrete. A thin film barrier is formed to slow down the rate at which water evaporates from the concrete surface during the first few crucial days of curing. This enables more water to be available for the hydration reaction of the cement particles. The concrete can then cure more efficiently to achieve maximum performance properties.

Advantages

The use of Antisol curing compound eliminates the need for costly and impractical curing methods such as wet hessian, polythene sheeting, continuous watering, ponding, etc.

Antisol will assist in providing the following beneficial properties when applied to freshly placed concrete surfaces:

  • Reduction in the incidence of shrinkage cracking.
  • Improved strength and durability of the concrete.
  • Reduction in surface dusting.
  • Increased abrasion resistance.
  • Reduction in permeability of the concrete.
