In addition to forming an effective film forming curing and sealing compound, it also contains silane. Silane penetrates the fresh concrete and provides protection against spalling and deterioration of concrete structures caused by deicing salts.

CURESHIELD EX can be applied to fresh concrete unlike other siloxane, silane type products and also meets ASTM C-309 and 1315 curing standards.

CURESHIELD EX penetrates the surface and bonds directly with the substrate, which results in a surface that is highly resistant to moisture and salt.

 

APPLICATION

Coverage: Ready to use. Do not dilute. Apply with a sprayer in uniform thin film; spray apply for best results. Apply a single coat uniformly and do not allow to puddle. Apply in accordance with recommended coverage rates.

Curing Fresh Concrete: 200 – 250 sq ft / gal
Aged concrete: 200 – 300 sq ft / gal

On broom or rough finished concrete, increase the coverage rate to compensate for the added surface area. Coverage may vary due to porosity and conditions of the concrete.

New Concrete: CURESHIELD EX should be applied as soon as the surface water has disappeared and the concrete surface will not be marred by the walking applicator. At this point, apply in a uniform coat leaving no gaps. Do not allow the material to puddle.

Existing Concrete: Concrete surface must be clean, dry or damp and free of all stains, oil, grease, dirt, and other contaminants that can prevent adhesion or penetration of the CureShield EX An application of CURESHIELD EX will renovate existing concrete surfaces. These surfaces will be brighter and easier to clean and maintain.

NOTE: CureShield EX dries much faster than standard solvent –based product. CureShield EX should not be applied on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight as this could cause rapid evaporation and will not allow the film to form properly. Under these conditions the film may
bubble, peel and/or blush. Tip: If spraying CureShield EX keep pressure in pump up sprayers as high as possible to ensure a steady and even spray pattern. Maintain the sprayer tip near the concrete surface, within 12 inches.
