Description
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.

 
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 dustproofs 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

Physical Characteristics
Flash Point: None
Toxicity: 0
Color: Transprarent blue
Acidity: 0
Set to Touch: 4 min.
Dry Hard: 20 min.

Cleanup
Rinse equipment with cold water. If UNI CURE HD is accidentally sprayed on glass, brick or aluminum, rinse with clear water immediately.

Packaging
5 gal./18.9 L pails
55 gal./208 L drums

Drying Time
45 min at 72°F/22°C)

 
Application
METHOD: Sprayer.

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 overapplication 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.
   
Application Procedure Comparison
UNI CURE HD PROPERTIES ALL ZINC & MAGNESIUM FLUOSILICATES
Premixed at UNITEX to the dilution ratio which complies with Corps of Engineers Specification CEGS-03300 Section 6.6 Must be diluted at jobsite by workers to varying ratios for specific surfaces.
Lower cost on labor.  
Less chance of injury to workers.  
Material costs approximately the same. Material costs approximately the same.
Contains no acids. Basic pH close to concrete. Contains acids and fluosilicates. Precautions must be observed. Corrosive material.
One application only is necessary to meet CEGS-03300 Section 6.6. Three applications are usually necessary to meet CEGS-03300 Section 6.6.
