SpecFilm Concentrate is a concentrated evaporation retardant and finishing aid that prevents rapid moisture loss on concrete flatwork
SpecFilm Concentrate dilutes with potable water up to a 9:1 ratio, forming a thin, continuous film that's especially effective when concreting in direct sun, wind, high heat, or low humidity.
Key Features & Benefits
- Significantly reduces plastic shrinkage and cracking from evaporation
- Allows use of lower slump and lower water-to-cement ratio concrete
- Reduces wind crusting, stickiness, and sponginess for better surface texture
- Aids finishing of concrete with little or no bleed water, like microsilica mixes
- Meets ACI 302 and EPA VOC standards
Application Instructions
- Agitate well before use
- Apply to fresh concrete right after screeding, and as needed between finishing operations
- Dilute with clean, potable water at a 5:1 ratio (up to 9:1 for lighter conditions); mix thoroughly before applying
- Apply at 300-500 sq ft per gallon under typical conditions, or 250-300 sq ft per gallon in more severe drying conditions
- Re-apply as needed under severe drying conditions or with dry-shake hardener applications
Technical Data Summary
