Sika® Antisol® A (NZ)

Sika® Antisol® A (NZ)

ACRYLIC BASED CONCRETE CURING COMPOUND

Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) is a liquid applied curing membrane for the protection of concrete from loss of water during the early age curing period.

The use of Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) eliminates the need for costly and impractical curing methods such as wet hessian, polythene sheeting, continuous watering, ponding, etc. Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) 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

Usage

Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) 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.

Application steps

APPLICATION

Mixing: Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) is supplied in a ready to use form and should not be diluted. Always stir Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) thoroughly before use. Application: Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) should be applied with hand held spray equipment at the specified coverage rate to achieve a thin and even film. Application should proceed immediately after the desired concrete surface finish has been attained. It is important to ensure that any surface ‘bleed water’ has disappeared prior to application. Once Sika® Antisol® A (NZ) has been applied, protection against further water loss will start almost immediately.

Cleaning: Clean up with cold water immediately after use. If cured use mineral solvent.
