DESCRIPTION
RESIN BASED ALUMINIUM PIGMENTED CONCRETE CURING COMPOUND.
AVCEM -Cure-AL is a pigmented lacquer-type concrete curing compound to prevent premature water loss from concrete. It is based on synthetic film-forming resin and leafing grade micro fine Aluminium pigment. The excellent reflection of sun rays from the Aluminium surface to dissipate heat is an added advantage. It is a very fast-setting compound, the organic solvent helps to form a tough resin film within two hours. As per BS 1992 &ASTMC -309-81, AST M-C -156-80, ASTM -97.
USES
AVCEM Cure-AL is sprayed or brushed into newly laid concrete surfaces to form a thin barrier against premature water loss. Without. hindrance to the normal curing phenomenon due to adequate hydration water held by the concrete matrix underneath and for negligible evaporation of water from below resin membrane. The concrete achieves maximum beneficial properties.
ADVANTAGES
AVCEM Cure-AL is very useful in large areas of exposed concrete such as
• Concrete highways-Road construction.
• Air Port Runways.
• Apron and hard standing
• Roof decks and shell-roofs.
• Retaining walls.
• Pre-stressed beams and piers.
• Canal lining.
• Exposed surfaces of dams.
• Sloping and angular surface where pond curing is not possible.
APPLICATION
AVCEM Cure-AL curing compound is recommended for application once the surface water has disappeared. As it is solvent based, the equipments are to be cleaned with mineral Solvents, such as white spirit, kerosene oil, etc. soon after completion of job. It is recommended to stir the contents of container before application and to keep the product away from flame and heat under shade.
