Sika Antisol -15 Concrete Curing Compound

Usage

Sika® Antisol®-15 curing compound is used mainly for structural concrete surfaces. Sika® Antisol®-15 is sprayed onto newly laid concrete to form a film barrier against premature water loss without disturbing the normal setting action. The concrete is then allowed to cure and achieve maximum durability.

Antisol is particularly useful in large areas of exposed concrete such as:

• Highways
• Runways and taxiways
• Aprons and hard standings
• Roof decks
• Roof decks
• Retaining walls
• Pre-stressed beams and piers etc.
• Irrigation canals/channels

Advantages

• Reduces incidence of plastic cracking
• Ensures that cement can hydrate more efficiently in order to achieve the desired strength
• Minimises shrinkage
• Reduces dusting
• Alleviates costly methods of curing i.e. Hessian, water spraying etc.
• Minimal separation during storage

Application

Equipment

• Application by hand type backpack or motorised sprayers
• The suitability of equipment should be approved before use for full application
• Clean all tools and application equipment immediately after use.
• Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

Consumption

• Minimum coat of 0.2 litre / m² to attain ASTM C309. Consumption can be affected by substrate conditions such as permeability, profile, quality and wastage etc.

Application Steps

• Stir thoroughly before use to ensure full dispersion of solids. Spray the product in a fine mist to completely cover the concrete surface. Maintain the pressure in the application equipment to ensure a consistent spray.

Storage Conditions

• The product must be stored in original, unopened and undamaged sealed
• packaging in dry conditions at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. Always refer to packaging.
