Antisol S®
Concrete Curing Compound
Construction
Description A ready to use aqueous solution of metallic silicates, incorporating penetrating

aids, designed for application to fresh concrete to inhibit evaporation of moisture,
increase the density and harden vertical or horizontal concrete surfaces. The
mechanism involves a microcrystalline seal through the formation of a course of
crystals in the upper layer of the concrete surface. Antisol S is chloride free.
Uses Curing Compound
Antisol S may be applied to the horizontal surface of fresh concrete immediately
after bleed water has disappeared, or to vertical surfaces after stripping the
boxing to provide a moisture evaporation and assisting in complete hydration of
the cement.
Surface Hardening
Antisol S may be applied to green concrete to increase the density of the cured
surface thus improving its subsequent durability, abrasion resistance and
lessening any potential surface dusting problems.
Characteristics / n Can be used as a concrete curing system where subsequent
Advantages surface treatments or paints are to be applied.
n Clear, non-staining and non toxic thus suitable for water
retaining structure.
n Non-flammable and can be employed in place of solvent based
products.
n A concrete curing system which promotes strength, surface
hardness and durability and significantly reduced any subsequent dusting
problems.
Application Vertical Surfaces
After striking shutters, dampen down the concrete thoroughly with fresh water al-
low the surface water to drain off then apply Antisol S either with standard
spray equipment or a lambs wool roller (spray application are preferred for full
coverage). Observe that the surface is fully wetted. Where a highly durable
abrasion resistant surface is required, i.e. in severe exposure conditions, apply a
further coat of Antisol S after 3 days. Where subsequent surfacing systems are
to be applied, allow 7 days before overlaying Antisol S.
Horizontal Surfaces
Apply Antisol S with spray equipment or a lambs wool roller immediately after
final trowelling when all bleed water has disappeared. Ensure full surfaces
wetting and in any case apply not less than the coverage specified below.
Earliest practical application after the concrte surfaces are ready to receive the
curing compound is recommended so as to obtain optimum performances from
the system. As a vertical surfaces, apply a second coat to maximize the benefits.
Coverage Apply Antisol S to both vertical and horizontal surfaces at a rate of one litre per
5.5 square meters for the first application and 1 litre per 7 square meters for the
second application.
