Description

MasterKure 404 is a modified acrylic, membrane forming, curing compound for use on plain or coloured concrete. MasterKure 404 meets and exceeds the moisture retention requirements of AS3799-1998 when applied at the recommended rate

Recommended Uses

  • Curing plain and coloured fresh concrete floors, smooth or textured surfaces, indoor or outdoor applications.
  • Curing cementitious toppings and surface hardening finishes, particularly those containing metallic aggregates such as the MasterTop 200 range.
  • Efficiently curing all cementitious grouts and mortars including MasterFlow iron and natural aggregate formulations.
  • Curing of concrete that will have an additional topping such as cement based tile adhesives or toppings.

Features And Benefits

  • Efficient curing of concrete - seals in moisture to facilitate complete hydration of cement matrix, maximising strength, increasing durability, improving wear resistance and minimising surface dusting.
  • Non-yellowing and safe - will not increase the slipperiness of concrete floors.
  • Easy to use -can be applied by brush, roller or spray and does not interfere with the adhesion of additional cement based toppings.
  • Multi-purpose - can be applied to smooth or rough surfaces.
  • Glossy - leaves polished glazed appearance on floor surface and can be recoated to provide semi-gloss surface.

Properties

AS3799-1998 specification requires that curing compounds achieve an efficiency index of 90% in 72 hours at a standard application rate of 5m2/L.

Application Rate Index          Efficiency(1)
5m²/litre >90%
VOC content: <1g/L Test method: SCAQMD 304-91

Water retention expressed as percent of control panel with no MasterKure 404 applied.

Drying Time: Approximately 1-3 hours at 23°C. The performance data is typical and based upon controlled laboratory conditions. Actual performance on the job site may vary from these values based on actual site conditions.

Estimating Data

Actual coverage depends on the texture and porosity of the surface. For curing fresh concrete floors, apply at a rate of 5m² per litre to meet moisture retention requirements of AS3799-1998. For sealing of existing plain or coloured concrete floors, coverage will vary depending on the texture and porosity and ambient temperatures however it will generally be in the range 7.5 to 10m² per litre per coat, two coats recommended.

Packaging

MasterKure 404 is available in 20 litre pails and 200 litre drums.

Shelf Life

MasterKure 404 has a shelf life of 12 months. Store out of direct sunlight, clear of the ground on pallets protected from rainfall.

Application

Apply as soon as the surface has hardened sufficiently to prevent marring. The surface should be damp but with no free water. Do not wait overnight before applying MasterKure 404.

Use a short nap roller (not lambswool or pile rollers). Do not add extra water.

Avoid overlapping and retouching of dried areas. Do not use in excess of 5m² per litre on fresh concrete. MasterKure 404 can be sprayed using a lowpressure spray, e.g. backpack spray. Wear masks and avoid inhaling droplets. Allow surface to dry thoroughly (minimum 3 hours at 21°C) and ban all access until concrete has developed sufficient strength to withstand traffic.

Where necessary, cover the dried MasterKure 404 with non-staining paper or polythene sheeting to protect the surface from dirt, paint etc.

If a high gloss is required on burnished floors or MasterTop cementitious floors then apply a second coat before handover and maintain with resin based wax and polish.

Note:

  • MasterKure 404 is not a coating and should not be used where it will be exposed to solvents or chemicals.
  • Tracking will be evident on MasterTop floors if a polishing programme is not implemented.
  • MasterKure 404 will darken surfaces.
