Sika® Antisol® S TH

Sika® Antisol® S TH

CONCRETE CURING AGENT

Sika® Antisol® S TH is a ready to use spray applied aqueous solution of metallic silicates which when applied to fresh concrete forms a microcrystalline seal in the pores reducing the moisture evaporation rate from the mix, thus assisting in the complete hydration of the cement. Adhesion of subsequent treatments to concrete surface is not impaired.

▪ Generally improves the surface appearance
▪ Reduces cracking
▪ Assists reaching the required strengths
▪ Reduces shrinkage
▪ Controls cement hydration
▪ Reduces dust formation
▪ Reduced concrete permeability
▪ Alleviates other costly curing methods
▪ Adhesion of subsequent treatments to concrete surface is not impaired

Exposed concrete such as:
▪ Buildings
▪ Manufacturing industries
▪ Hangars and loading areas
▪ Retaining walls
▪ Pre-stressed structures
▪ Irrigation channels
▪ Civil Engineering structures

Application

Consumption

Consumption

5.5 - 6.0 m2 per liter

Consumption depends on wind speed, temperature and humidity during application. These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
Application steps

APPLICATION

Vertical Surfaces
After removing the formwork, dampen down the concrete thoroughly with fresh water allowing the surface water to drain off. Spray product in a fine mist to completely cover the concrete surface. Maintain the pressure in the application equipment to ensure a consistent spray.
Horizontal Surfaces
Spray product in a fine mist to completely cover the concrete surface. Maintain the pressure in the application equipment to ensure a consistent spray.
