Sika® Antisol®-106

(former MKure 106)

Wax emulsion curing compound / bond breaker

Sika® Antisol®-106 is a solvent free, membrane forming wax emulsion, suitable for spray application to freshly poured concrete.
The resultant film retains sufficient moisture in the concrete to ensure full hydration of the cement, essential for optimum strength development. Membrane cured concrete is typically harder and exhibits a dust free surface with a reduced incidence of drying shrinkage cracks.
The film can also act as a bond breaker between initial and subsequent concrete pours.

  • Eliminates the need for water.
  • Single application.
  • Promotes a harder dust free surface.
  • Cured film is clear and water repellent.
  • Reduces drying shrinkage.
  • High curing efficiency.
  • Reduced labour costs.
  • Water based.

Application Information

Dispensing

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A CURING COMPOUND
The compound should be spray applied as evenly as possible on to the freshly placed concrete.
For horizontal surfaces Sika® Antisol®-106 should be applied as soon as the initial surface sheen has disappeared from the concrete surface. In the case of formed concrete, the Sika® Antisol®-106 should be applied immediately on removal of the formwork. To assist breakdown of the Sika® Antisol®-106 film on vertical and formed surfaces, it is essential to dampen down the concrete with clean water prior to application.

 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A BOND BREAKER
The compound should be spray applied to form an even film covering the entire surface against which the subsequent segment will be cast. If necessary, more than one coat should be applied. The actual coverage and number of coats will be dependent on texture and porosity of the surface. The recommended application rate when used as a bond breaker is 4 square meters per litre.
Consumption

Consumption

The recommended rate of application is 5-6 square metres per litre. This corresponds to that at which Sika® Antisol®-106 has been tested, and at which it attains the claimed degree of curing efficiency. In favourable conditions such as shaded interior surfaces, adequate curing can be achieved with extended coverage rates.
