Manorteq Curing Agent
Designed specifically to reduce losses of water in fresh concrete and mortars, especially where they are treated with Xypex crystalline technology.
Manorteq Curing Agent is a curing aid which is useful to retain moisture within the substrate to help especially where:
- Xypex Admix, Concentrate, Patch’n Plug, and Modified
- Manorteq systems enhanced with Xypex Inside, including AquaRend and ReadyProof product lines.
Description
Manorteq Curing Agent is a curing aid specifically developed to retain moisture in newly laid or repaired areas of concrete, mortars and coatings, which aids the curing of the substrate.
In newly placed concrete or mortars, an application of Manorteq Curing Agent not only reduces the loss of free water, it also improves the hardening of the surface, as well as reducing its absorbency.
In areas where Xypex technology has been used, whether as a coating, repair or admixture, Manorteq Curing Agent encourages an environment that benefits the growth of the Xypex crystalline structure. In applications where Xypex Technical Data Sheet specifies the need for daily mist curing with clean water, an application of Manorteq Curing Agent eliminates the need for this process.
Benefits include
- Significantly reduces loss of batch water in freshly placed concrete.
- Aids with the hardening of the surface of the freshly placed concrete.
- Retains moisture within areas repaired with Xypex, removing the need to mist cure.
- Creates an environment that benefits the growth of the Xypex crystalline structure.
- Creates a film that is resistant to water and alkaline environments.
- Applied by spray, roller, or brush.
- Supplied ready for application; no additional dilution is needed.
Use
Manorteq Curing Agent is suitable for all applications of concretes, mortars and cementitious based repairs. Especially where Xypex crystalline technology is present and where water curing is not possible or desired.
Manorteq Curing Agent is particularly useful when conditions will accelerate the hydration process, particularly in hot, dry or windy conditions.
