Sika® Antisol® S

Concrete Curing Agent

Sika® Antisol® S is a ready to use solvented spray applied liquid curing agent to prevent water loss from the surface of freshly placed concrete. It forms a micro-crystalline seal in the concrete pores reducing the moisture evaporation rate from the concrete mix. Adhesion of subsequent treatments to concrete surface is not impaired.

  • Generally improves the surface appearance
  • Reduces cracking
  • Assists reaching the required strengths
  • Reduces shrinkage
  • Controls cement hydration
  • Reduces dust formation
  • Reduced concrete permeability
  • Alleviates other costly curing methods
  • Adhesion of subsequent treatments to concrete surface is not impaired.

Usage

Treatment of vertical surfaces which will require subsequent treatments or where resin / water based curing membranes would be unsuitable. Exposed concrete such as:
  • Buildings
  • Manufacturing industries
  • Hangars and loading areas
  • Retaining walls
  • Pre-stressed structures
  • Irrigation channels
  • Civil Engineering structures

Application

Application Information

Equipment

Application

  • Hand type backpack or motorised sprayers
  • Suitability of equipment should be approved before using for full application
Consumption

Consumption

0,15–0,20 kg/m2

Consumption depends on wind speed, temperature and humidity during application.

These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.

 

Application steps

APPLICATION

Vertical Surfaces

After removing the formwork, dampen down the concrete thoroughly with fresh water allowing the surface water to drain off. Spray product in a fine mist to completely cover the concrete surface. Maintain the pressure in the application equipment to ensure a consistent spray.

Horizontal Surfaces

Spray product in a fine mist to completely cover the concrete surface. Maintain the pressure in the application equipment to ensure a consistent spray.
