Description
Slab Clad R is a membrane-forming concrete curing
compound that is based on C5 resin and combined with
performance enhancing additives.
When applied to freshly laid concrete,
Slab Clad R forms a
surface film that enables a high rate of moisture retention
- assisting in the development of strength, abrasion
resistance and durability.
Slab Clad R is a Type 1-D, Class B curing compound,
achieving >95% moisture retention and complying with AS
3799-1998 (Appendix B).
Slab Clad R conforms to Department of Transport and Main
Roads MRT S70.
Features and Benefits
- Environmentally friendly
- Water based formula
- Supplied ready for use
- Provides rapid film formation
- Reduces the likelihood of cracking or dusting on the
concrete surface
- Easy to use - eliminates messy water curing or the need
for polyethelene film
Coverage Rates
5m2 per litre (or 0.2 litres/m2 ) using a spray applicator do not brush. NB: This coverage rate may vary due to the surface texture and irregularities of the concrete surface
Application Guidelines
- Apply Slab Clad R to the exposed surfaces of concrete after the sheen of water/moisture brought to the surface by the final screeding and trowelling operations has disappeared. The concrete should have hardened sufficiently to walk on and apply Slab Clad R without causing damage.
- Timing of the application is important. If applied to a dry surface, it may soak into the concrete and not form a continuous film. Premature application may not adhere to the concrete or may be broken by the bleed water from the concrete.
- Apply Slab Clad R with a low pressure spray device such as a heavy duty nap sack sprayer or garden sprayer.
- During windy conditions, it may be difficult to achieve uniform coverage at the specified application rate; additional applications may be required.
- Ensure the correct amount of material is being applied to achieve an adequate film build.
- Due to the high solids content in Slab Clad R, we recommend that the product is stirred regularly to prevent settlement and blockages in the spray nozzle.
- Apply Slab Clad R at the rate of 5m2 /litre, wet on wet, to produce a continuous film. If pinholes occur, apply a second coat (at 90ยบ to the first application).
- When dry, the coating should be continuous, flexible, without breaks or pinholes, and should remain as an unbroken film for at least 7 days after application.
- Windy conditions, high temperatures associated with rapid evaporative losses, or lack of care on the part of the operator can result in large variations in the rate of application. It is not sufficient to measure the volume of material sprayed over a large area to determine the average coverage rate. This will not indicate the uniformity of coverage nor the volume blown away by wind.
