SpecFilm 
Ready-to-use evaporation retardant/finishing aid
SpecFilm is a ready-to-use evaporation retardant and finishing aid on concrete flatwork of all types. When sprayed over fresh concrete, SpecFilm forms a thin, continuous film that prevents rapid moisture loss from the concrete surface. SpecFilm is especially effective when concreting operations must be performed in direct sun, wind, high temperatures, or low relative humidity.
- Significantly reduces plastic shrinkage and cracking caused by evaporation in low humidity, high temperatures and high winds
- Allows use of lower slump and lower water to cement ratio concrete
- Reduces wind crusting, stickiness, and sponginess, which often cause poor and uneven surface texture.
- Dyed pink as visual application aid. VOC compliant
- Helps minimize surface cracking due to early water loss of silica fume concrete
- Aids in finishing concrete and repair mortars that produce little or no bleed water such as micro silica or mixes containing no air entrainment.
Application
Before application, ensure SpecFilm RTU is well agitated. Apply to fresh concrete immediately after screeding and as necessary between finishing operations to avert plastic shrinkage. During dry-shake hardener applications or under severe drying conditions, multiple applications may be required. Apply under standard conditions at a rate of 300-500 sq. ft. per gallon. In more extreme drying conditions, increase the application rate to 150-300 sq. ft. per gallon. Avoid over-application.
Packaging
SpecFilm RTU maintains a shelf life of one year from the date of manufacture when stored in its original, tightly sealed containers. Keep containers free from water, dirt, and other contaminants.
Shelf Life
Available in 55-gallon drums, 5-gallon pails, and cases of four 1-gallon jugs.
Standards
SpecFilm RTU meets the ACI 302 guidelines for “Evaporation Retardant/Monomolecular Film,” ensuring it meets industry best practices.
