SpecTilt EX

SpecTilt EX

Spec Tilt EX is a chemically reactive tilt up cure/bond breaker specially engineered to provide a clean, easy lift of tilt-up panels. Spec Tilt EX is formulated with a unique solvent blend allowing fast-drying, solvent-base performance along with VOC compliance in the OTC/ LADCO/MRPO regions

  • Fast-drying for improved productivity in cool damp climate
  • Chemically reactive
  • Clean panels – no residue, stain, or discoloration
  • Resists foot traffic abrasion
  • OTC/VOC compliant less than 350g/l

Packaging

  • 55 gallon drums
  • 5 gallon pails

Shelf Life

Store material in the original tightly closed containers. Moisture allowed to contaminate open drums may cause gelling. Do not allow the accumulation of water, dirt, or other contaminants. The shelf life of properly stored SPECTILT EX is two years from the date of manufacture.

Curing New Concrete:

  • Ready to use; do not dilute.
  • Apply immediately after final steel troweling when surface water has evaporated.
  • Covers entire slab to meet ASTM C-309 for moisture retention at 200-400 sq ft/gal.

Bond Breaker Coat:

  • Apply on well-cured, smooth, dense casting slabs.
  • Remove all contaminants before application.
  • First coat: Spray apply at 400 sq ft/gal. Second coat: Apply at 500-700 sq ft/gal after drying, at right angles to the first coat.
  • Ensure complete, uniform coverage. Reapply if necessary.

On Old or Water-Cured Concrete:

  • Ensure slab is free of substances that could impair Spec Tilt EX’s performance.
  • Flood slab with water, remove excess, then apply Spec Tilt EX to damp slab at 300-500 sq ft/gal. Apply a second coat as per the first.
  • Properly dried application should feel dry and soap-like.

Before Pouring Concrete:

  • Ensure the treated surface feels dry and soap-like.
  • Test slab with water droplets; they should bead up. Mist slab with water in hot/dry conditions before pouring.

Hot Weather Application Tips

  • Apply cure coat immediately after finishing to ensure uniform surface film accumulation.
  • Saturate the casting slab with water before applying bond breaker coats to fill any porosity and ensure even application.

Special Considerations

  • Use extra care with stack panels to prevent sticking. Apply Spec Tilt EX at 200-250 sq-ft/gal as a cure coat before bond breaker coats.
  • For painting panels, ensure Spec Tilt EX is not over-applied and follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for surface preparation.
