Product Description:
Sika® Antisol® A is a water-dispersed acrylic copolymer based curing compound. It is ready for use and simple to apply. Sika® Antisol® A will form a thin film, covering the surface of the concrete to prevent premature water loss due to evaporation.
Usage:
Sika® Antisol® A is sprayed onto newly placed concrete surfaces to form a thin film barrier against premature water loss, without disturbing the normal setting action. Sika® Antisol® A is suitable where subsequent surface treatments such as screed, protective coating, decorative paint, etc. are required.
Features / Advantages:
Sika® Antisol® A provides the following beneficial properties to concrete surfaces:
- Reduces incidence of plastic cracking
- Reduces shrinkage
- Reduces dusting
- Increases frost resistance
- Replaces labour intensive curing methods such as wet-Hessian, watering, etc.
- Can be overcoated without affecting the bonding of the subsequent application (concrete surfaces to be washed prior to overcoating in accordance with normal practice)
- Will not re-emulsify in contact with water therefore allows overcoating even where back pressure of water is expected
Shelf Life:
- 6 months from the date of production
Storage:
- Stored properly in original, unopened and undamaged sealed packaging in dry conditions. Keep away from direct sunlight.
Application Steps:
Step 1 : Pre-Application
Sika® Antisol® A is ready to use. Do not dilute. Stir well before use.
Step 2 :
Sika® Antisol® A curing compound can be sprayed, brushed or rolled onto newly placed concrete. Apply as soon as possible after final trowelling when surface water has disappeared (approximately ½–2 hours depending on ambient conditions).
For vertical surfaces, apply immediately after removal of formwork.
Step 3 :
After application, the area must be protected from rain for at least 2–3 hours.
Sika® Antisol® A is transparent after curing.
Step 3 :
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
