Pave Cure AMS is a high-solids, white-pigmented poly-alpha-methylstyrene curing compound built for exterior paving surfaces
Pave Cure AMS forms a continuous membrane that controls curing for strong, durable concrete, with white pigment that reflects sunlight to prevent excessive heat buildup on highways, airports, and other paving applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Reduces plastic shrinkage cracks by retaining moisture during curing
- Improves durability, compressive strength, and longevity
- White pigment reflects sunlight to keep surfaces cooler
Application
- Preparation: Ensure the concrete surface is clean, dry, and free from oils, grease, or any previous coatings.
- Application Rate: Apply uniformly at a coverage rate of 200 sq ft per gallon. Avoid puddling to prevent uneven coating.
- Curing Time: Allow each application to dry thoroughly before applying subsequent layers, if necessary.
Packaging
Available in 5-gallon pails (also offered in 55-gallon drums).
Shelf Life
- Store in original tightly closed containers at a location free from extreme heat or freezing conditions.
- Shelf life is one year from the date of manufacture when stored as recommended.
