Curing & Protection

Plaster finishes, floor coverings, patch and levelling mortar coverings are to be protected against the influences of rapid drying caused by wind and sun, using a plastic foil or using similar means of keeping the surface moist for 5 days following the application.

Protection of Green Concrete

After dilution (1 part AQUAFIN-LATEX – 2,5 parts water) the material is applied with suitable spray equipment or brush. The handling and further application starts as soon as the curing process has begun and the surface is free of water.
