PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET SINAK S-102™ CONCRETE CURING
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

S-102™ is formulated to exceed the performance requirements of all concrete water-cure specifications. Use of S-102™ assures that the specified design strengths will be achieved along with development of improved surface durability properties.

ADVANTAGES
• Better than water cure.
• Unlimited shelf-life.
• Lowers moisture vapor emissions.
• Prevents cure-related cracking and crazing.
• Controls slab-curling.
• Not a bond breaker.
• All vertical/horizontal concrete.
• Saves 7-days in the construction schedule.

S-102™ is a ready-to-use, NO-VOC concrete cure that outperforms all traditional wet-cure methods such as blankets, plastic sheeting, fogging, steam curing, etc. while eliminating the construction delays caused by water curing. S-102™ is the only concrete curing method proven to prevent cure related cracking and crazing, while minimizing or eliminating earlyage differential shrinkage (slab-curling). S-102™ is especially effective in hot, windy and low humidity environments. S-102™ does not interfere with the bonding of joint sealants, patching, surface removal.

CURE EFFECTIVENESS

S-102™ creates secondary hydration within the concrete which results in the formation of additional (cement). This additional cement C-S-H formation dramatically densifies the substrate which retains mix-water. As a result, relative humidity levels in the concrete remain near 100% providing optimal hydration for strength development and long-term durability. (see RH Data)

LONG TERM BENEFITS

S-102™ provides protection from chloride ion penetration; increases surface wear resistance; provides surface scaling and freeze-thaw protection; and provides protection against oil and chemical staining and damage.

Composition and Materials:
SINAK S-102™ is a water-based liquid with a proprietary formula in solution. It requires NO mixing, diluting or agitation. Color: Water clear; Specific Gravity: 1.1; Net Weight: 9.2 lbs/gal; Dry Solids Content (by weight): 11.1%; Flash Point: none; Toxicity: Non-toxic; VOC: Contains NO volatile organic compounds or solvents.

INSTALLATION


General Application Instructions:
The application should begin as soon as the surface can support foot traffic without leaving marks; and should be a continuous process from start to finish of the project. The application should not be interrupted except for rain.

1. Remove all debris that may prevent penetration of the S-102™.
2. Apply S-102™ in light, even coats, barely wetting the surface, with a garden or airless sprayer. DO NOT apply S-102™ in heavy coats.

Immediately after the first coat is dry, apply a second coat. NOTE: “Dry” means dry to the touch and the concrete has returned to original color. Drying time will vary from 10 to 30 minutes depending on temperature/environment.

IMPORTANT: The treated area is imme- diately available for foot traffic after the water spray application is dry to the touch.

3. Clean all equipment by rinsing with water.

Vertical Applications:
For vertical applications a maximum 3/8” nap roller may be used. Product rundown should be anticipated. Use a dry 3/8” nap roller to pick any and all rundown. Should the roller become saturated, change to a new, dry roller. Roller application may be used for both the first and second coat. Allow the first coat to dry to the touch and return back to the original color before applying the second coat. Excess material not picked up by the roller may result in white scaly residue. After the second coat has dried, wet the entire area with a light water spray.

HOT WEATHER APPLICATION: In hot, (above 38° C), dry and/or windy conditions apply S-102™ shortly after loss (evaporation) of surface water or upon completion of Soff-Cut operation. Follow the General Application Instructions.

COLD WEATHER APPLICATION: In freezing temperatures, or if freezing is possible, call SINAK Corporation.

Coverage Rates: 12-17 sq. meters per liter (subject to surface finish)

Storage and Handling: Store in cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Must be kept in tightly secured containers to prevent evaporation and contamination.

S-102™ MUST be protected from freezing. Product that has frozen will not function as intended, and should be discarded.

AVAILABILITY
S-102™ has an unlimited shelf-life when stored according to the above requirements.

SINAK S-102™ is available in 18.9liter plastic pails, 208liter drums and 1041 liter biodegradable totes from selected distributors.

MAINTENANCE
After application, no special maintenance is required.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
Technical assistance is available from manufacturer, from trained field representatives.
