Overview
What is MasterKure 111?
MasterKure 111 is an evaporation retardant and finishing aid for fresh concrete which retards water evaporation during trowelling and combats rapid-drying conditions
How does MasterKure 111 work?
MasterKure 111 is an evaporation retardant and finishing aid, which assists in producing high-quality concrete flatwork. It retards water evaporation during trowelling, regulates the surface condition of the slab, and permits better adherence to finish schedules.
Recommended uses:
All types of concrete slabs, toppings, and finishing operations including:
- Concrete containing water reducing, retarding, or accelerating admixtures
- Air entrained concrete
- Tilt-up, lift slab, pre-cast or prestressed concrete
- Metallic or natural aggregate dry shakes and toppings
- Coloured concrete
- Burnished hard trowel, non-slip, swirl-trowelled, or wood float finishes
- Hand or machine finishing
- Membrane-type curing compounds, plastic sheeting, waterproof paper, or ponding
MasterKure 111 is not a curing agent and has no effect on hardened concrete. Concrete must still be properly cured.
What makes MasterKure 111 a unique solution?
MasterKure 111 is especially effective in combating rapid-drying conditions such as high temperatures, low humidity and high winds.
What are the benefits of MasterKure 111?
- Reduces surface moisture evaporation – reduces or eliminates plastic shrinkage cracking and wind crusting by about 80% in wind and 40% in sunlight
- Reduces potential for surface drying shrinkage crazing – concrete quality improves with better and denser surface
- Easier finishing – the surface closes better under the trowel giving an improved finish with less work
- Reduces or eliminates crusting, stickiness, and underlying sponginess – due to rapid evaporation leading to unevenness and poor surface texture
- Essential hot weather concreting practice – to combat rapid-drying conditions and retard evaporation
