UNI CURE HD

Chemical hardener, densifier and curing compound


 

DOWNLOADS:



Recommended for use as a floor hardener in place of magnesium fluosilicates. Helps eliminate problems at the jobsite due to the simplicity of UNI CURE HD's application procedure compared with that of all fluosilicates.

 

A premium sodium silicate concrete hardener that meets Corps of Engineers specifications. It also meets USDA specifications for use in food processing areas.

 

COMPLIANCES

Federal EPA V.O.C.

Features

High solids, 16.7° Baume allows for usage in lieu of magnesium fluosilicates for hardening specs on Corps of Engineer jobs

Easy one-coat application – no dilution

Cures and chemically hardens in one application

Leaves a dense hard surface comparable to quartz – No. 7 on the hardness scale

Leaves natural appearance of concrete

Does not alter bondability of concrete when applied according to Unitex directions

Non-flammable, non-toxic and non-acid; no harmful fumes or odors

Resists acids, oils, greases, salts

Sprayers will not clog, no damage to parts

UV damage resistant

Ideal for enclosed food preparation areas where odors and toxic fumes can be absorbed by food

Usage

Chemically cures, seals, hardens and dust-proofs interior, exterior, vertical or horizontal concrete substrates.

Chemically hardens and densifies dusty tilt-up panels when dusting is caused by osmotic effect resulting in unhydrated cement.

CURING AND HARDENING

Step 1 – Apply UNI CURE HD immediately following the finishing operation as soon as the bleed water has disappeared and slab can support the weight of an applicator or as soon as forms can be stripped.

Step 2 – Avoid over application and puddling. Excess unreacted UNI CURE HD will leave white crystals on concrete.

DENSIFYING TILT-UP PANELS

Lightly mist dusting panel with UNI CURE HD to point of refusal. Will harden and densify unhydrated cement caused by osmotic effect.

 

 

Coverage

Follow recommended coverage rate guidelines; however, never exceed application past the point of rejection, i.e. puddling.

Hard troweled finish: 400-600 sq. ft./gal. (9.8-14.7 sq. m/L)

Broom or float finish: 300-400 sq. ft./gal. (7.4-9.8 sq. m/L)

Rough slab finish: 200-300 sq. ft./gal. (4.9-7.4 sq. m/L)

Vertical substrates: 400-500 sq. ft./gal. (9.8-12 sq. m/L)

Limitations

Do not dilute or alter.

Not for use on colored concrete, brick or exposed aggregate.

Test application should be performed on other substrates.

Keep traffic off floor 4-8 hrs after application.

Application temperature range: 35-120°F/2-49°C.

Protect from freezing. However, may be reused after thawing and agitation.

Avoid contact with glass, brick or aluminum. If contact occurs, immediately flush with clear water.

 

 

 

 

 



 
Epoxy Polymer Extends Life For World's Longest Covered Bridge It’s a smoother and safer ride for motorists crossing over the Hartland Covered Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick, Canada—the world’s longest covered bridge. The bridge deck has been covered with an epoxy polymer overlay from Unitex.
