Sika® Antisol®-106 J

Wax emulsion curing compound for concrete

Sika® Antisol®-106 J is a solvent free, membrane forming wax emulsion, suitable for spray application to freshly poured concrete. The resultant film retains sufficient moisture in the concrete to ensure full hydration of the cement, essential for optimum strength development. Membrane cured concrete is typically harder and exhibits a dust free surface with a reduced incidence of drying shrinkage cracks. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Sika® Antisol®-106 J has the following characteristics:
  • Economical alternative to hessian, water and polythene curing regimes.
  • Single component, easy to use
  • Promotes a harder dust free surface
  • Cured film is clear and water repellent
  • Reduces drying shrinkage
  • High curing efficiency
  • Reduced labour costs

Technical Information

Concreting guidance

The standard rules of good concreting practice for production and placing must be observed when using Sika® Antisol®-106 J in concrete as a curing compound. Please refer to relevant standards. Use of Sika® Antisol®-106 J will help to reduce the risk of plastic and drying shrinkage in fresh concrete  especially at high temperatures.

Consumption

Consumption

The recommended rate of application isapproximately 5–6 m2 per liter. This corresponds to that at which Sika® Antisol®-106 J has been tested, and at which it attains the claimed degree of curing efficiency. In favorable conditions such as shaded interior surfaces, adequate curing can be achieved with extended coverage rates. The rate of coverage can vary depending on wind speed, relative humidity, temperature conditions and surface profile of the concrete. 
Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Sika® Antisol®-106 J should be spray applied as evenly as possible on to the freshly placed concrete. For horizontal surfaces Sika® Antisol®-106 J should be applied as soon as the initial surface sheen has disappeared from the concrete surface. In the case of formed concrete, the Sika® Antisol®-106 J should be applied immediately on removal of the formwork. To assist breakdown of the Sika® Antisol®-106 J film on vertical and formed surfaces, it is essential to dampen down the concrete with clean water prior to application.
