Sika® Antisol® WB

Curing Compound, Primer, Sealer and Surface Hardener for Freshly Laid Concrete

Sika® Antisol® WB is a ready to use, solvent free, water based liquid curing compound for preventing the evaporation of mixing water in concrete. It is ready for use and simple to apply. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Sika® Antisol® WB has the following characteristics:
  • Reduces incidence of plastic cracking
  • Forms stable film on the surface to provide excellent curing and sealing properties
  • Ensure achievement of desired strengths, minimize shrinkage
  • Alleviates other costly methods such as Hessian – watering
  • Increases frost resistance
  • Reduces dusting. Seals, primes and hardnens cement based compositions
  • Non-flammable, non-toxic and non-staining
  • Considerable reduction in loss of water from concrete
  • Cured film acts as primer between concrete surface and coating material

Usage

Sika® Antisol® WB can be applied on site and in precast plants. It has been specially developed for use as a high quality curing and sealing compound for interior or exterior applications. Sika® Antisol® WB is suitable for all kinds of concrete, horizontal and vertical applications and large areas of exposed concrete, such as:
  • Highways
  • Runways and taxiways
  • Aprons and hard standings
  • Roof decks
  • Pre-stressed beams and piers
  • Irrigation canals / channels

Application steps

APPLICATION

Stir the Sika® Antisol® WB well before use. Do not dilute or mix with other materials. Sika® Antisol® WB has been designed for spray application to newly laid concrete. Spray equipment must be capable of generating a fine mist to not damage the wet concrete surface. Manual spray equipment is more preferable. Sika® Antisol® WB is applied in thin layers with a fine, white dotted appearance; covering the complete surface (an additional application may be necessary in case of highly absorbent formwork). Accumulations of Sika® Antisol® WB should be avoided. Any excess should be wiped off using a cloth or sponge. After application, an evaporation period of ~20 minutes should be observed before pouring concrete.
