Ameripolish Inc, a leading architectural concrete products provider, today introduced its Penetrating Curing Agent (PCA), a curing agent specially designed to chemically harden and dust-proof concrete for improved abrasion resistance without forming a coating.
“PCA replaces traditional cure and seal products for new concrete,” said Clint Howle, President, Ameripolish. “It is a high penetrating, non-film forming curing agent that improves cure by retaining slab moisture. It also enhances scratch and abrasion resistance.”
Ameripolish recommends using PCA on newly placed concrete, creating an initial water and stain repellency while retaining the slab’s moisture for improved curing. It will form a hydrophobic barrier that helps to reduce the formation of a powdery deposit on the slab’s surface. This will also help to minimize dust and maintain a facility’s healthy indoor air quality (IAQ).
While most curing compounds rely on UV light to dissolve, PCA requires no UV light for dissipation. You can use it with colored concrete, creating an advantage for indoor construction environments where UV is not always available. PCA minimizes the effects of traffic wear and weather, and it does not form a membrane that needs to be removed with chemical strippers or aggressive metal bond tools prior to polishing.
The product covers 1,000-1,500 square feet per gallon, keeping costs low at only three to five cents per square foot.
