MasterKure 111WB
Evaporation retardant and finishing aid
Description:
MasterKure 111 WB evaporation retardant helps produce high quality, concrete (slab) and reduces surface moisture evaporation. Because MasterKure 111WB retards evaporation, it is especially effective in combating rapid drying conditions (high concrete and / or ambient temperatures, low humidity, high winds, direct sunlight, work in heated interiors during cold weather, etc.).
Recommended for:
- Concrete surfaces where the evaporation rate exceeds the rate of bleeding of the concrete.
- GGBS concrete.
- Condensed silica fume concrete.
- Concrete containing fly ash.
- All Master Builders Solutions cementitious dry shakes.fe
Features and benefits:
Reduces surface moisture evaporation approx 80% in wind and about 40% in sunlight. It has no effect on the cement hydration process. Concrete strength (early and ultimate), abrasion resistance and durability are not altered, except for the improvement in overall quality resulting from the control of rapid evaporation. When applying MasterTop surface hardeners under hot and / or windy conditions, the use of MasterKure 111 WB is strongly recommended after screeding.
Eliminates or reduces crusting, stickiness and underlying sponginess which often cause unevenness and poor surface texture by controlling the evaporation of concrete while waiting between initial finishing and later trowelling or power floating.
Reduces and, in many instances, eliminates plastic shrinkage cracking and wind crusting of flatwork surfaces. Also supplements the recommended practices for hot weather concreting. Under some conditions, properly diluted MasterKure 111 WB alone will provide the necessary safeguard against the ill effects of evaporation.
Increases the amount of surface handled per finisher, even under rapid-drying conditions because the surface remains plastic and finishable for a longer time. Thus, work can proceed whereas, without MasterKure 111 WB, it might be postponed to avoid finishing problems.
