PENETRATING CURING AGENT
Ameripolish® PCA is a penetrating curing agent that chemically hardens and dust-proofs concrete for improved abrasion resistance without forming a coating. PCA is recommended on newly placed concrete to add initial water and stain repellency while retaining slab moisture for improved curing. Ameripolish PCA requires no UV light for dissipation and can be used with integrally colored concrete.
Unlike traditional cure and seal products, PCA does not form a membrane that must be removed via chemical strippers or aggressive metal bond tools prior to polishing.
Features & Benefits
- Improves cure by retaining slab moisture
- Drastically reduces crazing and map cracking
- High penetrating, non-film forming – no need to grind or chemically remove membrane to dye/seal and burnish
- Forms hydrophobic barrier to increase stain repellency
- Improves scratch and abrasion resistance
- Helps reduce efflorescence and minimizes dust for healthier indoor air quality
- Odorless, non-flammable, VOC compliant
- Replaces traditional Cure & Seal products on new concrete
Uses
- Aides in slab moisture retention
- High penetrating non-film forming
- Saves labor by not forming a topical coating that would require removal for polished or burnished concrete
- Aides in cleaning by forming hydrophobic barrier preventing moisture and microscopic soil from penetrating surface
- Prepares surface for high gloss diamond polishing
- Improves scratch and abrasion resistance and reduces loss of concrete from normal wear
- Reduces loss of concrete from normal wear
- Adds water and stain repellency to newly finished concrete
- Helps prevent ASR
