Drying time is dependent on the temperature. The sealer is usually dry in 1-3 hours at 25˚C.
Accessible to foot traffic when dry and vehicle traffic after a minimum of 24 hours.
Coverage to meet AS3799 moisture retention is 5m2 per litre per coat. Coverage for a single coats application is 100m² per 20 litre drum.
Areas to be treated must be clean, dry, free from sawcutting debris.
Apply Aardcure WAX undiluted to the surface.
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.
To achieve stated curing efficiency Aardcure WAX must be applied on the day of the pour and not left overnight.
Care must be taken not to apply thick coats as excessive build may cause the film to blush when subjected to ponding which may be unsightly.
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.
Effective application temperatures are between 10ºC and 35ºC.
Application is recommeded via low pressure spray unit (40psi). Spray at a sufficient rate to achieve consistent coverage in even coats. A short nap roller can also be used for smaller applications.
