Specification

1200-WHITE SERIES
Water-Base, Resin-Base Concrete Curing Compounds

Description
1200-WHITE SERIES Water-Base, White-Pigmented Curing Compounds are resin-base dispersions with selected white pigments. When properly applied, they provide an impermeable film, which optimizes water retention. The white pigment reflects the sun's rays to help keep the concrete surface cooler and helps prevent excessive heat build-up.

1200-WHITE SERIES meets maximum VOC content limits of 350 g/L for Concrete Curing Compounds as required by the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule.

Uses
1200-WHITE SERIES is ideal for application on exterior, horizontal surfaces, such as highways, airports, street and curb paving - for excellent curing when protection from the sun's heat is desired.

Specifications

ASTM C 309, Type 2, Class B AASHTO M 148, Type 2, Class B F.A.A. Item P-610-2.11 (e) Formulated specifically for Federal, State, County and Municipal highway and airport paving projects

Packaging
5 Gallon (18.93 Liter) Pails
55 Gallon (208.20 Liter) Drums

Features/Benefits

• When properly applied, provides an impermeable film which optimizes water retention.
• Protects by reflecting the sun's rays to keep the concrete surface cooler and prevent excessive heat buildup, which can cause thermal cracking.
• Furnished as a ready-to-use, true water-base compound.
• Produces hard, dense concrete...minimizes hair-checking, thermal cracking, dusting and other defects.
• Enhances the functional capabilities of concrete by "sealing in" the performance assets of strength and long life.
• Offers a compressive strength significantly greater than improperly cured concrete.
• Increases tensile strength for greater resistance to cracking and surface crazing.
• Improves abrasion resistance and minimizes corrosive action of salts and chemicals... minimizes shrinkage.
• Applies quickly and easily with conventional, commercial spray equipment.
• VOC compliant.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Drying Time: Typically dries in 1-2 hours. Drying times may be extended, depending on application rate, temperature, humidity and project conditions. Restrict foot traffic until completely dry.

Flash Point: Greater than 200ºF

Application Tools

Industrial Sprayer

Power Sprayer

Paving Train

APPLICATION
Preparation...Application equipment must be clean and free of any previously used materials.

Mixing...Any settling or separation in the container must be re-dispersed with gentle agitation prior to use. CAUTION: DO NOT MIX EXCESSIVELY.

Method of Application...Spray on in one even coat with a hand or power sprayer as soon as the surface water disappears from horizontal concrete surfaces. On vertical surfaces, spray on promptly after the forms are removed. Use a Chapin 8005 or equivalent spray tip that produces a flow of 1/2 gallon (1.89 liters) per minute under 40 psi (.276 MPa) of pressure.

Coverage...Approximately 200 sq. ft./gal. (4.91 sq. m/L).

Clean up...Prior to drying, application equipment can be easily cleaned up with soap and water. Once dried, it will be necessary to use mineral spirits or other suitable petroleum distillate.

PRECAUTIONS
KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not apply when the temperature of the concrete is less than 40º F (4º C). DO NOT MIX WITH COMPOUNDS CONTAINING SOLVENT - SEPARATION WILL OCCUR. DO NOT ADD OR DILUTE WITH ANY OTHER COMPOUND. Do not use on surfaces that are later to be painted, tiled, hardened, sealed or treated in any manner. Do not use on patios, sidewalks or other areas where there is typically no wheel traffic to abrade the white film surface. Not recommended for use on residential driveways. Read and follow application information.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Direct contact may result in mild irritation. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for complete health and safety information.
