Hydrasheen 30% is a non-yellowing, water-based compound containing acrylic polymers that offers outstanding curing, sealing, dustproofing, increased abrasion and chemical resistance for freshly finished concrete surfaces. On older concrete surfaces Hydrasheen 30% will simultaneously seal and dustproof while extending service life and minimizing maintenance costs. Hydrasheen 30% has been formulated to form a membrane film on the surface of the concrete optimizing water retention for maximum concrete hydration and compressive strength development. Hydrasheen 30% will appear milky white in the container and dries to a clear film.

Applications & Uses

Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Uses

Hydrasheen 30% is ideal for curing and sealing applications:

  • Walls
  • Commercial floors
  • Basements
  • Garages
  • Hospitals
  • Industrial floors
  • Pavements
  • Parking decks
Application

Surface Preparation:

When used as a curing compound, Hydrasheen 30% should be applied to freshly placed concrete as soon as the bleed (surface) water has dissipated. For formed applications, Hydrasheen 30% should be applied to concrete immediately upon the removal of formwork. For older concrete, surface must be structurally sound and free of contaminants. A suitable concrete cleaner should be used as a degreaser and to remove rubber tire marks. Thoroughly rinse and allow surface to dry prior to application.

Coverage:

Actual rates may vary depending on type and porosity of the surface and application method. Recommended coverage is as follows:

Curing: 200–300 ft²/gal
Sealing: 200–400 ft²/gal
Second Coat: 400–600 ft²/gal

Mixing:

For best results, mix thoroughly before each use. Do not over agitate or use high speed mixing equipment.

Placing:

Apply with a low pressure sprayer, brush or roller at required rate. Spray application is recommended. A hand held pump sprayer or an airless industrial sprayer is acceptable. Apply evenly without puddling. Do not use a sprayer that has been used with solvent based products. Application of a second coat is required to meet ASTM C309 requirements as a curing compound.

Technical Details & Test Data

Limitations

If surface is to receive subsequent coatings, paints or toppings, it is necessary to completely remove the sealer before application. Although compatible with many carpet, tile and floor covering adhesives, a test area is recommended. This product may cause colored concrete to blush. Use US SPEC CS-25-1315 or US SPEC Rocá 1315 to cure colored concrete. Do not apply when the temperature of the concrete is below 50°F (10°C). Do not mix with any other products. Do not pour unused material back into original container.
