High-solids White Pigmented Poly-Alpha-Methylstyrene Curing Compound

PaveCure AMS is a high-solids, white pigmented poly-alpha-methylstyrene (AMS) concrete curing compound. It forms a continuous membrane on concrete surfaces, significantly improving their durability by controlling curing. The white pigment reflects sunlight, maintaining cooler surface temperatures and preventing excessive heat buildup. This product is specifically designed for exterior, horizontal concrete surfaces such as highways, airports, and other paving applications.

  • Moisture Retention: Reduces plastic shrinkage cracks by retaining essential moisture during the curing process.
  • Enhanced Durability: Proper curing increases concrete’s longevity, compressive strength, and wear resistance.
  • High Reflectivity: Over 70% reflectivity helps in reducing surface temperature.
  • VOC Compliant: Meets the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule with a VOC content of less than 350 g/L.
  • Easy Application: Can be applied using manual or power sprayers without dilution.
  • Versatility: Suitable for use on new or aged concrete, ensuring broad application potential.
