Product Description
Fast Curing & Densifiers not only cures the green concrete but also hardensit. When FCD is applied, itpenetrates and settles in the pores or reacts with the hydroxide and oxides toproduce bigger molecules which reduce the porosity of the surface. This trapsthe moisture of wet concrete, which aids in curing of wet concrete and makesthe top layer more compact and dense thereby increases hardness and abrasionresistance of the applied surface. Mild usage of concrete can be started within24 hours of application. This is beneficial for floors where movement isrestricted during curing because of water or coating.
ADVANTAGES
- Dueto early usage of surface, further work can be expedited, which saves precioustime.
- Nofurther cleaning / grinding of surface is required. It saves labour and time.
- Penetratesinto the surface - it hardens and decreases porosity of treated surface.
- Thistraps water in wet concrete which is used for hydration / curing.
- Itrestricts movement of salt from concrete and deposition of salt on the surface.
- Qualityand Durability of concrete surface improves due to lower salt on surface.
- Itprovides a tough protected long lasting surface that does not discolor.
- Improvesabrasion resistance of the surface and prevents efflorescence.
- Protectsthe surface against scratching or peeling thus making it dustproof.
- Itimproves chemical and water resistance of treated surface.
- Concentrated- reduces logistic cost. One has to dilute with water before use.
- Itis easy and economical to use. It saves labour, time and precious water.

APPLICATIONMETHOD
- Clean the surface before application. For best result, the surfaceshould be dry to allow FCD penetratethe pores and react.
- FCDshould be diluted with water in 1:3 ratio. It can be applied on clean surfaceby using a low-pressure sprayer or by spreading evenly with a soft-bristledbroom.
- ForHorizontal surfaces, apply enough diluted FCDto keep the surface wet for 20 minutes. If areas dry out before that, applymore diluted FCD. In hot, dry orwindy conditions dampen concrete before application to prevent flash drying. Remove any dried powder residue using a stiff broom, powersweeper or floor scrubbing machine.
- Forvertical surfaces, apply from the bottom up. For maximum penetration anddesired coverage rates, a wet-on-wet application is recommended; retreat withinthree to five minutes after initial application. Repeated applications shouldbe made until the surface remains moist for a minute or so before solutiondisappears
- Restrict usage of the treated surface for 12 hours.
