No. 1650

1650-WHITE
Water-Based, Wax-Based Concrete Curing Compound

DESCRIPTION

1650-WHITE water-based, wax-based concrete curing compound, when properly applied, provides a premium-grade film, 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

1650-WHITE is ideal for application on exterior horizontal surfaces, such as highways, airport runways, and street and curb paving.  The product offers excellent curing properties as well as reflection of the sun’s rays.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• When properly applied, it 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 uncured or improperly cured concrete.
• Increases tensile strength for greater resistance to cracking and surface crazing.
• Improves resistance to abrasion and the corrosive action of salts and chemicals/Minimizes shrinkage.
• Applies quickly and easily with conventional, commercial spray equipment.
• VOC-compliant.

PACKAGING

TECHNICAL DATA

VOC Content:   145 g/L

APPLICATION
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.

Application Method… Application equipment must be clean and free of any previously used materials. Spray on in one even coat with a hand or power sprayer, such as a Chapin 1949, as soon as the surface water disappears from horizontal concrete surfaces. Use a spray tip that produces a flow of 0.5 GPM under 40 psi of pressure.

Drying Time… Dries in approximately two hours. Restrict foot traffic for at least four hours.

Cleanup… Prior to drying, equipment may be easily cleaned with soap and water. Once dried, use mineral spirits, other suitable petroleum distillate, or SEALTIGHT CLEANER from W. R. MEADOWS.

PRECAUTIONS

KEEP FROM FREEZING. Do not apply when the temperature of the concrete is less than 40° F. DO NOT MIX WITH COMPOUNDS CONTAINING SOLVENT. 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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

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