Uni Cure RA

Uni Cure RA is aluminized resin based liquid curing membrane for protecting concrete from loss of water during the early stage of the curing period. It is supplied as single component liquid which is ready for immediate site application. It produces a hard wearing surface, with excellent adhesion properties. It complies and exceeds all the requirements of ASTM C 309, Type 2, class B and BS 7542.

Uni Cure RA Uses

Uni Cure RA is used to slow down the rate at which water evaporates from the concrete to cure more efficiently and achieve maximum performance properties.

Uni Cure RA can be used on :

General concrete requiring curing.
Road decks.
Runways.
Bridge works.

Instruction for Uni Cure RA Use

Water based concrete curing compound

Mixing

Uni Cure RA is supplied ready to use and should not be diluted. Stir thoroughly before use.

Application

Uni Cure RA should be applied by handheld spray equipment at the specific coverage to achieve a thin and even film. Application should be proceed immediately after the desired concrete surface finish has been attained, ensuring all surface bleed water has disappeared before hand.
Uni Cure RA performs best when one full coat is continually applied until uniform film is achieved.

Cleaning

Cleaning Equipment used to mix and apply Uni Cure RA should be washed immediately after use with mineral solvent.

Limitations

Concrete staining may occur if Uni Cure RA is applied to dry surfaces.
Uni Cure RA should be protected from rain and traffic for three (3) hours after application, or until the membrane has completely dried.
To prevent clogging, regular cleaning of jet sprays during application is recommended.
A should not be over coated with other coatings or treatments. If material is to be applied over the top of a surface treated with Uni Cure RA, sandblasting or solvent treatment is recommended as surface preparation.
Early application of Uni Cure RA will help prevent plastic shrinkage cracks from occuring by reducing the amount of water evaporating. Concrete curing compound, however, will not counter the effects of cracking that may occur as a result of long term drying shrinkage. Good concrete practices must apply when positioning construction joints and shrinkage control joint.

Packing & Coverage

Packing : 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 & 200 ltrs. Containers.
2 Coverage : 5-6 m per liter

Shelf Life & Storage

Uni Cure RAhas a shelf life of 6 months from date of manufacture when kept at a temperature between 5 0C to 45 0C and store in the original, unopened bags. All material shall be stored under cover in a manner that will prevent damage preferable on pallets and protected from excessive heat and moisture. Do not freeze.

Health & Safety

Uni Cure RA is a resin based product. Resins and solvents may cause allergic reactions in some people. Wear gloves, use barrier cream on unprotected skin areas and wear eye protection when mixing, using and cleaning. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent inhalation of vapours. If skin contact occurs remove resin immediately with cleansing cream and wash with soap and water. Do not use Solvent. Should eye contact occur rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately.
