Ecocure WS Technical Data
Description
A liquid application curing compound membrane for the protection of concrete from loss
Of water during the early age curing period.
Uses
Ecocure WS is sprayed onto newly laid concrete surfaces and will not affect the normal
setting action of the concrete. A thin film barrier is formed to slow down the rate at which water evaporates from the concrete surface during the first few crucial days of curing.
This enables more water to be available for the hydration reaction of the cement particles. The concrete can then cure more efficiently to achieve maximum performance properties.
Application
Mixing
• Ecocure WS is supplied in a ready to use form and should not be diluted.
• Ecocure WS require stirring before use.
Application
• Ecocure WS should be applied with hand held spray equipment at the specified coverage
rate to achieve a thin and even film.
• Application should proceed immediately after the desired concrete surface finish has been attained. It is important to ensure that any surface ‘bleed water’ has disappeared prior to application.
• Once Ecocure WS has been applied, protection against further water loss will start almost immediately.
Coverage
1 liter = 5 to 7 m²
Important Notes
• Staining of the concrete may occur if Ecocure WS is applied to a dry surface. Dampen concrete prior to application.
• Protect Ecocure WS from rain and traffic for 3 hours after application, or until the membrane has dried.
• Early application of Ecocure WS to the concrete surface will help prevent shrinkage cracks from occurring by significantly reducing the amount of water evaporating from the concrete after the coating has been applied.
However, curing compounds will not prevent the effects of any cracking that may occur as a result of thermal contraction, long term drying shrinkage or slab designs which restrain lateral movement. Careful attention must always be paid to the positioning of construction joints and shrinkage control joints.
