1600-WHITE
WATER-BASED, WAX-BASED CONCRETE CURING
COMPOUND
DESCRIPTION
The 1600-WHITE series of water-based, white-pigmented
concrete curing compounds are wax-based
dispersions with selected white pigments.
When properly applied, 1600-WHITE forms a
premium-grade membrane, which optimizes
water retention. The white pigment reflects the
sun's rays to help keep the concrete surface cooler
and prevent excessive heat buildup.
USES
1600-WHITE is ideal for application on exterior,
horizontal surfaces, such as highways, airports,
and street and curb paving. 1600-WHITE is not
recommended for residential applications. The
product provides optimum curing when protection
from the sun's heat is desired.
TECHNICAL DATA
Drying Time: Typically dries in two hours,
depending on jobsite conditions (temperature,
wind, etc.). Restrict foot traffic for at least four
hours.
Flash Point: >212º F (100º C).

| FEATURES/BENEFITS |
- When properly applied, provides a premium-grade
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-based
compound.
- Produces hard, dense concrete ... minimizes
hair checking, thermal cracking, dusting and
other defects.
- Offers a compressive strength significantly
greater than improperly or uncured concrete.
- Increases tensile strength for greater resistance
to cracking and surface crazing.
- Improves resistance to the abrasion and
corrosive actions of salts and chemicals ...
minimizes shrinkage.
- Applies quickly and easily with conventional
commercial spray equipment.
- VOC compliant … VOC content is <100 g/L.

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: TO AVOID
FOAMING, DO NOT MIX EXCESSIVELY.
DO NOT THIN.
Application Method … Spray on in one even
coat with a hand or power sprayer as soon as the
surface water disappears from concrete surface.
Use a Chapin 5797 (or equivalent) spray nozzle
that produces a flow of 1/2 gal. (1.89 L) per
minute under 40 psi (.276 MPa) of pressure.
Cleanup … Prior to drying, equipment may be
easily cleaned with soap and water. Once dried,
use mineral spirits or other suitable petroleum
solvent.
PRECAUTIONS
KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not apply when
the temperature of the air and/or the concrete is
less than 40º F (4º C). DO NOT MIX OR
DILUTE WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS OR
LIQUIDS. 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 applications.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Direct contact may result in mild irritation. Read
and follow all application, label, precautions, and
health and safety information prior to use. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for complete
health and safety information.
SHELF LIFE (TYPICAL)
One year in original, unopened container.
