High Range Water Reducing and Set Retarding

Description A liquid curing compound for the prevention of premature water loss in concrete
Construction

Use Antisol S is applied to fresh concrete surfaces to form impervious membrane which
protects the concrete from rapid water evaporation during initial curing stages.

Antisol S is particularly useful in:

„ Buildings
„ Manufacturing industries

Advantages Antisol S provides the following beneficial properties to concrete surfaces:

„ Reduces incidence of plastic shrinkage
„ Reduces dusting
„ As a concrete curing system which subsequent surface treatments of paints are
to be applied

Coverage 0.15 – 0.20 kg/m2.

Depending on wind, temperature, humidity and the roughness of concrete surface.

Instruction For Use

Surface Conditions Vertical Surfaces
After striking shutters dampen down the concrete thoroughly with fresh water
allow the surface water to drain off then apply Antisol S either with standard spray
equipment or a lambs wool roller (spray applications are preferred for full coverage).
Observe that the surface is fully wetted. Where a highly durable abrasion resistant
surface is required, i.e. in severe exposure conditions, apply a further coat of Antisol
S after 3 days. Subsequent surfacing systems can be applied after 7 days.

Horizontal Surfaces
Apply Antisol S with spray equipment or a lambs woll roller immediately after final
trowelling when all bleed water has disappeared. Ensure full surfaces wetting and
apply not less than the coverage specified below

 Important Notes „ To prevent clogging, regular cleaning of jet sprays during application is
recommended
„ Antisol S can be sprayed using most common spraying equipment.
„ Early application of Antisol S will help reduce 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
apply when positioning construction joints and shrinkage control joints.

Handling
Precautions: „ Avoid contact with skin, eyes and avoid breathing it’s vapour
„ Wear protective gloves and eye protection during work
„ If skin contact occurs, wash skin thoroughly
„ If in eyes open and flood with warm water. Seek medical attention without delay
