Sika® Antisol® E (WP) I

Paraffin wax emulsion white pigmented curing compound

A ready to use, liquid curing compound based on paraffin and also White Pigmented to substantially increase light reflectance to effectively prevent premature water loss from the concrete both due to heat of hydration and sunlight.

Sika® Antisol® E (WP) I provides the following benefits:
  • Reduces incidence plastic cracking
  • Ensures achievement of designed strengths
  • Minimises shrinkage
  • Reduces surface dusting
  • Eliminates expensive methods of curing such as hessian-watering, etc.

Usage

Sika® Antisol® E (WP) I is sprayed on to newly laid concrete surfaces to form a thin film barrier against premature water loss and thereby promote total cement hydration. It is particularly recommended for large areas of exposed concrete such as :
  • Highways
  • Runways and taxiways
  • Aprons and hard standings
  • Roof decks
  • Canals linings
 

Advantages

Sika® Antisol® E (WP) I provides the following benefits:
  • Reduces incidence plastic cracking
  • Ensures achievement of designed strengths
  • Minimises shrinkage
  • Reduces surface dusting
  • Eliminates expensive methods of curing such as hessian-watering, etc.

Technical Information

Specific Advice

After application the coating are must be protected from rain for at least 2–3 hours.

  • To prevent clogging, regular cleaning of jet sprays during application is recommended.
  • Sika® Antisol® E (WP) I can be sprayed using most common spraying equipment.
  • Early application of Sika® Antisol® E (WP) I will help prevent plastic shrinkage cracks from occurring by reducing the amount of water evaporating. Concrete curing compounds, however, will not counter the effects of cracking that may occur as a result of long term drying shrinkage. Standard concrete practice must be applied when positioning construction joints and shrinkage control joints.

Application

Consumption

Consumption

0.10 to 0.20 kg/m2 depending on wind, humidity and temperature. Actual dosage to be finalised on the basis of site trials.
Application steps

APPLICATION

Stir Sika® Antisol® E (WP) I well before application. Apply uniformly on to the newly laid concrete as soon as the surface water evaporates. Apply preferably using low pressure sprayer uniformly on concrete surface. Brush/Roller application could consume more.

For vertical surfaces, apply immediately after removal of formwork.
After application, the area must be protected from rain for at least 2-3 hours.
