Water-based concrete curing compound, white pigmented for solar reflectance
Description of Product Typical Properties
MASTERKURE 102W incorporates a white Appearance: White liquid pigment, which at recommended coverage rates Specific gravity: Approx. 1.00 gives a daylight reflectance value of 60-80%. This Flashpoint: Not applicable permits a high curing efficiency to be maintained Finished film white solar reflective, tack- appearance: free, water repellent even in conditions of intense ambient light. Drying time ASTM C309:at a 2hours 45 minutes 32º C MASTERKURE 102W is a solvent-free dosage 0.2kg/m² membrane forming emulsion, suitable for spray application to freshly poured concrete. The Standards ASTM C309 Type II Class A resultant film retains sufficient moisture in the concrete to ensure full hydration of the cement Directions for Use essential for optimum strength development. The compound should be spray applied as evenly Membrane cured concrete is typically harder and as possible to the freshly placed concrete. exhibits a dust-free surface with a reduced For horizontal surfaces, MASTERKURE 102W incidence of drying shrinkage cracks. should be applied as soon as the initial surface sheen has disappeared from the concrete face. In Primary Uses the case of formed concrete, MASTERKURE As a more effective and economical alternative to 102W should be applied immediately on removal hessian and water and polythene curing regimes. of the formwork. To assist breakdown of the Suitable for use on all concrete surfaces. MASTERKURE 102W film on the vertical and formed surfaces, it is essential to dampen down Advantages Eliminates the need for water the concrete with clean water prior to application. Single application Promotes a harder dust free surface Coverage The recommended rate of application is 5- Cured film is clear 6m2/ltr. This corresponds to that which Reduces drying shrinkage MASTERKURE 102W has been tested, and at High curing efficiency which it attains the claimed degree of curing Reduced labour costs efficiency. In favourable conditions such as Water-based shaded interior surfaces, adequate curing can be Solar reflective achieved with extended coverage rates. Packaging MASTERKURE 102W is available in 210ltr Film Breakdown The time for deterioration of the membrane is drums. dependent on a number of variables, which include film thickness, degree of exposure to weathering, traffic, UV light, and the porosity of the substrate concrete.
Subsequent Surface Finishes
It is important that the complete removal of the MASTERKURE 102W should be ensured prior to MASTERKURE® 102W the application of any surface finish or additional treatment. It is recommended that where the Quality Statement concrete is to receive a coating or the application All products manufactured by BASF Egypt, or of tiles, the use of MASTERKURE 101 is imported from BASF affiliate companies world- considered. wide, are manufactured to procedures certified to conform to the quality, environment, health & MASTERKURE 101 is a resin-based, non- safety management systems described in the degrading curing membrane meeting the ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 & OHSAS requirements of ASTM C-309 Type 1 Class B.
