It helps produce high-quality concrete flatwork and reduces surface-moisture evaporation. It is especially effective in rapid-drying conditions, such as high concrete-surface or ambient temperatures, low humidity, high winds, direct sunlight, or work in heated interiors during cold weather. Allows lower slump and lower water content in concrete. It reduces surface moisture evaporation approximately 80% in wind and approximately 40% in sunlight. Locations for use include horizontal or vertical surfaces as well as interior or exterior. Applications include:
- Concrete surfaces where the evaporation rate exceeds the bleed rate.
- Air-entrained and non-air-entrained concrete.
- Silica-fume concrete.
- Concrete containing fly ash.
