1600-WHITE

WATER-BASE, WAX-BASE CONCRETE CURING COMPOUND
Provides an excellent cure and reflective protection for highway, airport, street and curb concrete paving applications.

SEALTIGHT 1600-WHITE is a Water-Base, Wax-Base Concrete Curing Compound, that when properly applied, provides an impermeable film which optimizes water retention.

Technical Description
SEALTIGHT 1600-WHITE, Water-Base, Wax-Base Concrete Curing Compound, when properly applied, provides an impermeable film which optimizes water retention. The white pigment reflects the sun's rays to help keep the concrete surface cooler and prevent excessive heat build-up. 1600-WHITE is a true, water-base product which meets maximum VOC content of 350 g/L for Concrete Curing Compounds as required by the U.S. Architectural Coatings Rule.

Uses
SEALTIGHT 1600-WHITE is ideal for application on exterior horizontal surfaces such as highways, airports, street and curb paving – for excellent curing when protection from the sun's heat is desired.

Advantages and Benefits

• When properly applied, it provides an impermeable film which optimizes water retention
• Protects by reflecting the sun's rays to keep the concrete surface cooler and prevent excessive heat buildup which can cause thermal cracking
• Furnished as a ready-to-use, true water-base compound
• Produces hard, dense concrete... minimizes hair-checking, thermal cracking, dusting and other defects
• Enhances the functional capabilities of concrete by "sealing-in" the performance assets of strength and long-life
• Offers a compressive strength significantly greater than improperly cured concrete
• Increases tensile strength for greater resistance to cracking and surface crazing
• Improves resistance to abrasion and corrosive action of salts and chemicals...minimizes shrinkage
• Applies quickly and easily with conventional, commercial spray equipment
• VOC compliant...meets the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule requirements

Physical Properties
DRYING TIME: Depends on weather conditions and coverage, but will generally dry in 1 hour. Restrict foot traffic for at least 4 hours.
FLASH POINT: Greater than 212ºF (100ºC).

Application Tools

Manual Sprayer

Power Sprayer

Paving Train

Application
PREPARATION: Application equipment must be clean and free of any previously used materials.

MIXING: Any settling in the drums can be easily redispersed with gentle agitation prior to use. Do not mix excessively to avoid foaming.

NOTE: DO NOT MIX "WATER-BASE" COMPOUNDS WITH ANY COMPOUND CONTAINING SOLVENT.

APPLICATION METHOD: Spray on in one even coat with a hand or power sprayer as soon as the surface water disappears from horizontal concrete surfaces. Use a Chapin 8005 spray tip that produces a flow of 1/2 gallon (1.89 liters) per minute under 40 psi (.276 MPa) of pressure.

CLEANUP: Clean application equipment with soap and water.

Coverage
Approximately 200 ft.²/gal. (4.9m²/L).

Packaging
5 gallon (18.93 liter) Pails
55 gallon (208.20 liter) Drums

Specifications
ASTM C 309, Type II, Class A
AASHTO M 148, Type II Class A

Precautions
HEALTH HAZARDS: Direct contact may result in mild irritation.

Do not use on surfaces that are later to be painted, tiled, hardened, sealed or treated in any manner. Do not apply when the temperature of the concrete is less than 40ºF (4ºC). DO NOT MIX WITH COMPOUNDS CONTAINING SOLVENT. DO NOT ADD OR DILUTE WITH ANY OTHER COMPOUND. KEEP FROM FREEZING. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for complete health and safety information.
