Product Description
E-CON is a concentrated, odorless, water-based polymer liquid that, when placed on fresh concrete, helps to control the rate of evaporation and extend workability. When applied to fresh concrete, E-CON reduces contractor field problems with exposed exterior concrete by minimizing surface crusting and plastic shrinkage cracks. E-CON is ideal for achieving superior quality flatwork in challenging conditions such as high and low temperatures, low humidity, high winds, and direct sunlight. Proper placement of E-CON is aided by the presence of a dissipating pink dye.
E-CON aides workability with standard concrete mixes, silica fume concrete, thin concrete resurfacing, and all cementitious shake on floor hardeners after placement by protecting against moisture loss. The protective shield formed usually lasts as long as the concrete remains workable, despite successive floating and troweling operations. No residue or color remains after the concrete hardens.
Mock-ups and field test areas are required in order to validate performance and appearance related characteristics (including but not limited to color, inherent surface variations, wear, anti-dusting, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, stain resistance, coefficient of friction, etc.) to ensure system performance as specified for the intended use, and to determine approval of the decorative flooring system.
