ADOCURE WW performs by physically “locking” moisture into freshly cast concrete surfaces to allow full hydration of the cement This assisit the concrete to achieve a full and optimum cure, giving the optimum compressive strength and highest quality surface. This is achieved by a chemical reaction between Adocure WW and the cement resulting in the blocking of the surface pores in the concrete. This in turn helps to retain hydration water within the concrete helping to optimise its curing. The treated surface is made denser and has reduced surface dusting & improved stain resistant properties.
ADOCURE WWT is identical in every respect to ADOCUREWW other than it contains a trace of blue dye to ease application and identify areas for treatment. This is a fugitive dye designed to become transparent under the action of sunlight (UV light), and correctly applied will not permanently discolour the concrete

Use on freshly cast surfaces
Apply progressively as soon as final tamping or trowelling of the concrete has been completed. If surface water is present a second application is recommended once the surface water has evaporated. Avoid ponding or over application of ADOCURE WW by applying at the correct rate, as ponding may glaze the surface of the concrete, leaving a white crystalline deposit on the surface which can be difficult to remove. Any excess Adocure WW remaining on the surface should be squeegeed away to avoid any risk of surface drying. Also avoid contact with glass or metals as permanent staining can also occur if Adocure WW is not quickly washed off and is allowed to dry.
Use on vertical cast surfaces
On vertical surfaces (struck from shuttering for example) less surface water is present and this may cause freshly applied ADOCURE WW not to perform as designed. In these cases it is recommended initially to flood coat the outer surface with water as soon as the formwork is struck and as soon as, this water has run off, apply ADOCURE WW. If this is not done it is possible that the curing compound will be absorbed below the concrete surface leaving the concrete surface unprotected and if ADOCURE WWT has been used UV light may be unable to act upon the “fugitive dye”, thus leaving the concrete with a permanent blue hue. This advice regarding the flood coating of concrete surfaces protected by formwork is applicable whatever curing agent you may be using. Curing agents are designed to lock moisture into concrete; they can only achieve this by being on the concrete s surface.
In extremes of temperature, to reduce the risk of thermal shock, it may be desirable to preheat both the ADOCURE WW and the water used to flood coat the concrete prior to application.
ADOCURE WW and ADOCURE WWT are water based products and as such are capable of freezing in extreme weather conditions. If this should occur prior to application simply allow defrosting and ensure that the contents of the container are thoroughly agitated before use.
At normal concreting temperatures the curing compound will not freeze and there will be no problems regarding application. Formwork surfaces should preferably be struck at temperatures above freezing and once again there will be no problems regarding application. As soon as either ADOCURE WW or ADOCUREW WT come into contact with the concrete surface they immediately react with the cement particles and block the pores allowing undisturbed hydration to commence.
Under subsequent exposure to freezing conditions curing compounds do not provide thermal protection and it may be advisable to provide independent thermal protection.
Immediately after use the application equipment should be thoroughly washed out with clean water.
NOTE. Care should be taken that over spray does not get onto paint or glass. Permanent damage may be caused if not rinsed off immediately.

Apply the selected grade by spray or watering can at a rate of approximately 4-6 m2 per litre taking care to ensure complete coverage.
