  • Vulk - Aardcure ECO - Environmentally Friendly Curing Agent

Environmentally friendly curing agent

Environment Friendly

Available Options

Aardcure Eco is a uniquely formulated environmentally friendly liquid curing compound that does not contain hydrocarbon resins and mineral spirits. Aardcure Eco is proven to have better or equal performance to traditional hydrocarbon-based curing compounds, will dust off after 28 days of UV exposure, is water washable and after trade friendly. This product achieves moisture retention of 90% or greater.

Uses

  • Curing freshly laid concrete, smooth or textured surfaces, indoor or outdoor.
  • Concrete to take after trades.

Features and Benefits

  • Environment friendly
  • Meet the environmental requirements of “green” construction methods
  • No odour before or after application
  • Increased abrasion resistance
  • Reduced concrete dusting and plastic shrinkage
  • One coat application
  • Eliminates the need for curing by ponded water, damp hessian or polythene sheeting

Application Rate Curing Efficiency
1L/5m² >90%

Curing Time

Drying time is dependent on the temperature but estimated time is 2 hours at 25˚ C.

Estimating Data

Apply as 1L/5m² for curing effiency.

Coverage for a single coat application is 100m² per 20 litre drum.

Application Guidelines

Areas to be treated must be clean, dry, free from sawcutting debris.

After surface finishing the concrete must be free of bleed water and sufficiently set to be firm and able to be walked on without marking or damaging the surface.

Application Method

Assess the application area so that a fixed volume of mixed material can be applied over a fixed area to determine the correct application rate.

Agitate the material until thoroughly mixed to ensure effective curing properties.

Application is recommended via low pressure spray unit (40psi). Spray at a sufficient rate to achieve consistent coverage in even coats.
