Description
Aardcure WAX is a wax-based, sprayable curing compound formulated to cure freshly laid concrete. This membrane is suitable for curing of large infrastructure projects such as roadways. Formulated of specially blended waxes with low to medium viscosity and is white pigmented.
Application Instructions
Surface Preparation
Areas to be treated must be clean, dry, free from sawcutting debris.
Apply Aardcure WAX undiluted to the surface.
Freshly laid concrete
After surface finishing the concrete must be free of bleed water and sufficiently set to be firm and able to be walked on without marking or damaging the surface.
To achieve stated curing efficiency Aardcure WAX must be applied on the day of the pour and not left overnight.
Care must be taken not to apply thick coats as excessive build may cause the film to blush when subjected to ponding which may be unsightly.
Application Method
Assess the application area so that a fixed volume of mixed material can be applied over a fixed area to determine the correct application rate.
Agitate the material until thoroughly mixed to ensure effective curing properties.
Effective application temperatures are between 10°C and 35°C.
Application is recommeded via low pressure spray unit (40psi). Spray at a sufficient rate to achieve consistent coverage in even coats. A short nap roller can also be used for smaller applications.
