Sika® Antisol® A-4 White
Water dispersed, acrylic copolymer based white pigmented concrete curing compound
Sika® Antisol® A-4 White is a water dispersed acrylic copolymer based white pigmented curing compound. It is ready to use and simple to apply.Sika® Antisol® A-4 White will form a thin film, covering the surface of the concrete to prevent premature water loss due to evaporation.
Sika® Antisol® A-4 White provides the following beneficial properties to the concrete surfaces:
- Reduces incidence of plastic cracking
- Reduces shrinkage
- Reduces surface dusting
Usage
Sika® Antisol® A-4 White is sprayed on to newly laid concrete surfaces to form a thin film barrier against premature water loss, without disturbing the normal setting action. No need to remove Sika® Antisol® A-4 White from concrete surface for subsequent application of acrylic water based paints, cement plasters, gypsum plaster, tile adhesives etc. We recommend to conduct compatibility test between Sika® Antisol® A-4 White and subsequent application material before start of application of Sika® Antisol® A-4 White.

APPLICATION
Sika® Antisol® A-4 White is ready to use. Do not dilute. Stir well before use.
Sika® Antisol® A-4 White curing compound can be applied by a sprayer, brush or paint roller.
For maximum beneficial effect, it should be applied immediately after disappearance of the surface water sheen following final finishing on horizontal surfaces.
For vertical surfaces, apply immediately after removal of formwork.
Apply single coat in two applications at right angles to each other to ensure uniform and more complete coverage.
After application, the area must be protected from rain for at least 2-3 hours.
