Material & Application Notes

Dilutable with potable water at ratios up to 9:1, it forms a protective film over fresh concrete to prevent rapid moisture loss, essential in conditions of direct sunlight, wind, high temperatures, or low humidity. Facilitates the use of concrete mixes with lower water-to-cement ratios for enhanced strength and durability. Promotes a smoother and more resilient concrete flatwork surface.

Application

Before use, ensure SpecFilm is well-agitated. It’s best applied to fresh concrete right after screeding and, as necessary, between finishing operations to curb plastic shrinkage. In conditions requiring dry-shake hardener applications or when combatting severe drying conditions, re-application may be necessary. During typical weather, apply at a rate of 300-500 square feet per gallon, adjusting to 250-300 square feet per gallon as conditions dictate.

\n

For optimal performance, dilute SpecFilm Concentrate with clean, potable water following a 5:1 ratio, although up to 9 parts water can be used. Mix thoroughly before application.

Packaging

SpecFilm Concentrate is available in 55-gallon drums, 5-gallon pails, and cases of four 1-gallon jugs.

Shelf Life

When stored properly, SpecFilm Concentrate has a shelf life of one year from the date of manufacture.

Standards

SpecFilm Concentrate aligns with the ACI 302 guideline for “Evaporation Retardant/Monomolecular Film,” ensuring industry-standard performance.
