How to avoid shrinkage of freshly laid concrete

Abrupt and excessive shrinkage of freshly laid concrete is a problem that builders who work in conditions of elevated or unstable ambient temperatures regularly face.

The solution to this problem, as well as insurance against shrinkage cracks on the surface of freshly poured concrete, is the water-based acrylic emulsion Teknokur 100.

The ready-to-use Teknokur 100 mixture is simple and easy to use, quickly sets on the concrete surface, protecting and making it smoother and shinier. Uniform application of two layers of acrylic protection with an interval of 6 hours is guaranteed to create a durable protective layer over the entire surface of the concrete.
 

 

The Teknokur 100 membrane forming agent creates a visible protective layer on the concrete surface, preventing moisture evaporation and shrinkage of fresh concrete until it is fully hydrated. Acrylic emulsion is actively used on large-scale construction sites and in hard-to-reach places where it is not physically possible to control the hardening of concrete and, if necessary, compensate for unnecessarily lost moisture. Teknokur 100 is combined with any type of concrete, performing the function of protection, while not affecting the quality and strength of the concrete structure. The absence of chemically active substances in the composition of the Teknokur 100 membrane forming agent allows the use of shrinkage protection of fresh concrete at facilities of any purpose.

Until the moment of full strength, freshly poured concrete needs to be monitored for condition, moisture level and ambient temperature, or reliable protection from excessive evaporation and shrinkage - this is exactly what the Teknokur 100 membrane forming agent creates.
