Application

For optimal results, refer to theAmerican Concrete Institute Standard 302for floor and slab construction guidelines.

Ideally, work under a roof. Factors like low humidity, wind, and sunlight that accelerate surface drying also influence hardener application timing. Use a mechanical spreader for even distribution over fresh concrete.

Before application, ensure concrete is at grade level and smoothly compacted using a wooden bull float. If conditions promote rapid drying, applySpecFilmpost bull floating to mitigate quick surface water loss.

Application Tips:
  • Application timing should consider concrete slump, job site conditions, and hardener coverage. The perimeter sets faster than the center—start application at the edges.
  • After concrete placement, allow the first two-thirds of hardener to absorb moisture before a final float. Follow up immediately with the remaining one-third and complete the floating process.
  • Maintain a flat trowel during edge work to avoid blistering. Re-trowel with lowered blades if necessary.
  • Do not add water to aid finishing; it weakens the surface. A hard troweled finish is ideal.
  • Curing:After the final float, apply an approvedSpecChem ASTM C309compliant curing compound.
