Setseal
A

ACRYLIC RESIN BASED, CURING AID, SEALER, DUSTPROOFER AND HARDENER

Advantages:

Enhanced concrete durability
Increase the surface abrasion resistant by 60%
UV resistanceMinimizes potential surface cracking and shrinkage
Promotes a harder dust free surface
Can be spray applied to reduce labor cost

Description:

Setseal A is a single component, acrylic resin based, coating designed to impregnate concrete surfaces combining the benefits of a curing aid and hardener.

Usage

Setseal A has been designed to overcome the drawbacks of many commonly used curing membranes which tend to provide a limited service life following the curing period of new concrete. It has good abrasion resistance and can be coated with certain coatings.

Setseal A is mainly used for newly cast concrete and cementitious surfaces to retain sufficient moisture to ensure full hydration of the cement. Typical application areas include:

High rise construction to eliminate water curing.
Runways and roads.
Roof decks.
Retaining walls.
Irrigation canals.
General floor slab and columns.
All Cement based coloured plasters.

Materials Supplied

18 and 200 litres.

Coverage

8 - 10 m² per litre per coat depending on the absorbency of the base.

Storage

Store in a dry area out of direct sunlight between 5°C and 35°C.

Shelf Life

At least 12 months if stored in original containers.

Application Instructions

Setseal A should be spray applied as soon as possible to the fresh concrete, provided that the surface water has evaporated. Do not apply if bleed water is forming, or is present on the concrete surface.

Stir Setseal A well before use to ensure even pigment dispersion. Setseal A should be spray applied, the spray nozzle should be held approximately 450 mm from the concrete surface and passed back and forth to ensure complete coverage. Pump pressure should be maintained to give an even, fine spray.

The applied film should be protected from rain for at least 3 hours; care should be taken to ensure that the film is not broken.

In case of formed concrete, Setseal A should be applied immediately after de-shuttering. In such a case the concrete surface must be dampened with clean water prior application of Setseal A.

OVERCOATING

Setseal A can be over coated with the following:

Polymer modified cementitious paint.

Acrylic paints.

Epoxy resin coating that is not dependable on penetration for

surface bond.

Bituminous emulsion paints.

CLEANING

Tools and equipment can be cleaned with soaped water when wet. Dried Setseal A should be removed with DCP Solvent.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Setseal A should not come into contact with skin or eyes.

In case of accidental splashes to the eyes, rinse with clean water and seek medical advise. Suitable protective gloves and goggles should be worn.

Setseal A and DCP Solvent are flammable. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not use near a naked flame and do not smoke during use.
