Pave Cure WW Green Conscious Product

High-solids, white pigmented concrete curing compound

Pave Cure WW is a high-solids, wax-based, white pigmented concrete curing compound that efficiently forms a continuous membrane when applied correctly. This membrane significantly aids in the curing process, ensuring the concrete becomes strong and durable. The addition of white pigment in Pave Cure WW reflects sunlight, reducing the surface temperature of the concrete and preventing excessive heat build-up, which is crucial for maintaining the quality of the concrete during the curing phase.

  • Minimizes moisture loss, reducing the potential for plastic shrinkage cracks.
  • Enhances concrete durability for a longer lifespan.
  • Improves compressive strength and resistance to abrasion.
  • VOC compliant and easy to apply.
  • High reflectivity, keeping concrete surfaces cooler.

Application

Ideal Applications: Pave Cure WW is perfectly suited for outdoor, horizontal concrete surfaces such as highways, airports, streets, and curb pavements that require meticulous curing to achieve optimal durability and performance.

Application Instructions:

  • Coverage: Pave Cure WW is ready to use without the need for dilution. It can be applied using a manual sprayer, power sprayer, or paving train, ensuring even coverage without puddles at a recommended rate of 200 square feet per gallon.
  • Timing: For new concrete, apply Pave Cure WW once the surface water has evaporated and the concrete can be walked on without damage, ensuring a uniform coat.

Packaging

  • 275-gallon totes
  • 55-gallon drums
  • 5-gallon pails

Shelf Life

Pave Cure WW should be stored in its original, sealed container and can last for up to one year from the manufacturing date. Avoid contamination with water or dirt and exposure to temperatures over 100°F. If the product freezes, consult SpecChem for guidance.

Test Data

  • Moisture loss when applied at 200 ft²/gal: 0.345 kg/m², below the test requirement of 0.55 kg/m² max.
  • Reflectivity: Greater than 60%.

Standards

Pave Cure WW meets ASTM C309, Type II, Class A, AASHTO M-148, Type II, Class A standards, and VOC emission requirements (EPA limit < 100g/L). It is formulated to meet specific state and CRD C 300 specifications.

Cleaning

Immediately clean tools and equipment with water after use. Use SpecChem Solvent 100 or a suitable cleaning solvent for removing cured or residual material from sprayers.
