Sika® Antisol® S

CURING AGENT FOR CONCRETE

Sika® Antisol S is a ready-to-use solution which forms a micro-crystalline seal in the concrete pores reducing the evaporation rate of moisture from the concrete mix and thus assisting in the complete curing process.

Sika®Antisol S provides the following benefical properties to concrete surfaces:
  • Generally helps concrete to attain maximum hydratation, strength, durability and surface hardness.
  • Improves the surfache appearance.
  • Reduces shrinkage.
  • Reduces dust formation.
  • Reduction in permeability of concrete.
  • When used properly, adhesion of subsequent treatments to concrete surface is not impaired.

Usage

Sika®Antisol S is applied to fresh concrete surfaces to form impervious layer which protects the concrete from rapid water evaporation during initial curing stages. Sika®Antisol S is particulary recommended for the treatment of vertical surfaces which will receive subsequent treatments or where resin based curing membranes would be unsuitable. Sika®Antisol S is particularly useful in:
  • Buildings.
  • Manufacturing industries.

Application

Application Information

Equipment

Sika®Antisol S can be applied using the hand or an automatic spraying device on the fresh concrete surface in order to build a continuous film.
For large areas the application of Sika® Antisol® E can be carried out by power driven automatic equipment.
Clean all the tools and application equipment after Sika®Antisol S has been applied.
Consumption

Consumption

Consumption of Sika®Antisol S depends on the wind speed, temperatures and humidity during application.

As a general rule a dosage of 0.14-0.20 kg/m2 can be considered.
Application steps

APPLICATION

Vertical Surfaces:

After removing the formwork, dampen down the concrete thoroughly with fresh water allowing the surface water to drain off. Just then apply Sika®Antisol S (spray applications are preferred for full coverage).

Horizontal Surfaces:
Apply Sika®Antisol S immediately after trowelling when all bleed water has disappeared.

Ensure that the full surface is free of water and do not apply less than the recommended coverage.
