DEFINITION
Novo Kure 123 is a water-based acrylic modified polymer emulsion that is suitable for spray application to freshly poured concrete; where the resultant film retains sufficient moisture in the concrete to ensure full hydration of the cement; essential for optimum strength development. Membrane-cured concrete is typically harder and exhibits a dust-free surface with a reduced incidence of drying shrinkage cracks.
Novo Kure 123 complies with ASTM C 309 Type 1, Class B
FIELD OF USES
Novo Kure 123 is used to provide a membrane on the surface of fresh placed concrete to retain moisture for effective curing of concrete.
ADVANTAGES
• Reduce surface shrinkage and cracking.
• Enable concrete to hydrate more efficiently.
• Easy applied.
• Solvent free – more safety.
• No waiting-apply as soon for damp hessian, sand or polyethylene.
• Reduce labor costs.
• Form a tough film on the surface of freshly placed concrete or render. This enables the cement to hydrate more efficiently, eliminates the shrinkage cracking causes and produces high compressive strength with harder wearing surface to the concrete.
