Description |
|
As a paraffin-based, non-solvent, ready-to-use concrete curing material applied onto fresh concrete surface, Permo Paraffin prevents instant water losses as well as the formation of cracks and retreats and ensures optimum strength in concrete. |

|
|
Usage Areas |
|
Permo Paraffin is sprayed onto fresh concrete to form a film layer, thus preventing rapid water loss. It ensures concrete curing with no effect on normal setting reactions and helps it reach maximum performance.
Permo Paraffin is especially suitable for large and open concrete surfaces such as:
• Motorways,
• Common concrete production which requires curing,
• Industrial floors,
• Terraces,
• Battered walls,
• Prestressed girders and piles,
• Irrigation channels,
• Locations with low humidity and high vaporization and air circulation.
|
|
Advantages |
• Decreases cracks caused by plastic retreat.
• With the formation of the film layer, contributes to the hydration of concrete.
• Minimizes shrinkage.
• Decreases dust formation on the surface.
• Increases the frost resistance.
• It is a more effective and economic alternative compared to other curing methods such as geo-textiles or irrigation.
• Suitable to indoor applications.
• It is easy to apply and decreases labour costs.
• Because it does not contain any solvent, it is not harmful for human health. |

Application |
|
Surface Conditions |
|
On horizontal surfaces, it should be applied after the disappearance of sweating water and completion of surface
repairments (0,5 to 2 hours later depeding on the temperature). On vertical surfaces, it should be applied after the removal of the molds. For best results, it may be tested on a small area.
Application
Permo Paraffin is ready to use, so it should not be diluted with water. Shake well before use. Permo Paraffin is designed to be sprayed with a pistol or a spraying machine with an air compressor as a continuous thin film layer. It should be applied with a low pressured spraying equipment and it is critical to avoid puddling. The most suitable spraying equipment should be determined by testing. If it will be applied onto a large area or onto a set of concrete elements serially, it can be applied with an automatic system. The area treated with Permo Paraffin should be protected from rain and foot traffic for at least 3 hours or until it is completely dry.
