Technical Details

SpECcure AC is a versatile product tailored for concrete applications. Its typical uses include:
  • As a membrane for concrete to provide adequate and effective curing.
  • As a primer/sealer to subsequent coatings.
SpECcure AC offers a range of benefits that enhance the performance and durability of concrete applications. The advantages of using this high-efficiency curing membrane include:
  • More effective cement hydration providing more durable concrete.
  • May be applied by simple knapsack spray units.
  • In some cases, subsequent coatings can be applied directly over the membrane without the need for expensive surface preparation.
  • Minimizes surface cracking and dusting.
  • Reduces shrinkage and improves permeability.
  • Non degrading.
  • Compatible with SpECbuild repair products.

Application of SpECcure AC
Preparation: SpECcure AC may be spray applied onto the surface of fresh concrete provided no surface water is present. The nozzle of the knapsack spray unit should be kept at approximately 0.5 metre from the concrete surface. Ensure complete and even coverage of the area being treated.

Surface Pretreatment: When applied to newly demoulded concrete, it is advisable that the concrete is pretreated with a water spray to avoid absorption of the membrane once applied. Application to dry surfaces may result in unsightly surface staining.

Foot Traffic: The membrane should not be disturbed until the concrete has gained sufficient strength to accept light foot traffic.

Subsequent Coatings: SpECcure AC also acts as a primer layer for most subsequent coatings, therefore the need for complete removal of the curing membrane is avoided in most cases except in areas, which will be subject to traffic where proper surface preparation must be employed.
SpECcure AC is available in various packaging options to suit your project needs:
  • 1 litre drums
  • 5 litre drums
  • 200 litre drums

Product FAQ

SpECcure AC can be applied on fresh concrete surfaces, particularly newly demoulded concrete. It is ideal for areas requiring effective curing and can also serve as a primer for subsequent coatings.
Yes, SpECcure AC is compatible with most subsequent coatings.
The coverage rate of SpECcure AC is 4.0 to 4.5 m² per litre.
SpECcure AC is spray applied to fresh concrete using a knapsack spray unit. Ensure no surface water is present and maintain a distance of approximately 0.5 metre from the concrete surface for complete and even coverage.
During application of SpECcure AC, ensure good ventilation, avoid inhalation, and protect eyes and skin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. Keep away from ignition sources due to flammability. In case of contact, rinse affected areas with clean water and seek medical attention if necessary.
SpECcure AC enhances concrete durability by effectively inhibiting moisture loss during the curing process, which promotes better cement hydration. This leads to increased strength, reduced shrinkage, and minimized surface cracking and dusting, resulting in more resilient concrete.
