- 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/galMixing:
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.
