Wr Meadows Evapre Evaporation Retardant 1 Gal Pail 4/cs
An economical, high quality, water-based compound. It is specifically designed to form a thin monomolecular film to reduce rapid moisture loss from the concrete surfaces prior to curing. It provides a significant aid in producing high-quality concrete flatwork. Rapid evaporation of water is retarded, slab surface conditions are normalized, and workers can adhere more closely to established finishing schedules. It is also VOC compliant. It significantly reduces plastic shrinkage and cracking, wind crusting, stickiness and sponginess, which often cause poor and uneven surface texture. It effectively combats and minimizes the effects of rapid drying conditions such as low humidity, low dew point, high winds, direct sunlight, hot weather, heated concrete or placement of concrete in a heated enclosure or interior area during cold weather. The protective film shield disappears as soon as the concrete is no longer plastic.
It is ideal for use as an evaporation retardant for concrete surfaces where the evaporation rate exceeds the rate of bleeding. It can be used with the Meadow-Patch and Meadow-Crete line of repair mortars. It can also be used with condensed silica fume concrete, concrete containing fly ash and most other cementitous products. When applying surface hardeners, it can be used after screeding and after the first floating operation, if necessary.
