CONTROL, CONCRETE CONTROL, SIKA CHEM 190,

IDEAL FOR ALL CONCRETE
SikaCem®-190 Concrete Control is ideal for all concrete, colored concrete, and dry shake hardener applications. It is applied during the floating and troweling of freshly placed concrete to control moisture loss, allow proper cement hydration, extend workability, and make finishing concrete flatwork easier and faster under adverse conditions of wind, sun, high temperatures, or low humidity.

YOU'RE IN CHARGE
Maintains adequate moisture while reducing the risk of concrete setting prematurely. Puts the contractor in charge of the concrete workability and timing of the finishing process

THE ADVANTAGES ARE ENDLESS
Extended concrete workability
Lubricates concrete surface
Promotes proper hydration
Reduces surface crazing
Reduces efflorescence
Improves abrasion resistance
Chemically reacts with entire mix design
Promotes flatter, thicker, denser cream cap
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Decorative concrete
Concrete slabs
Polished concrete
Driveways and sidewalks
Interior or exterior concrete
Parking garages
Industrial floor slabs
Bridges and roads

SikaCem®-190 Concrete Control
A non-film forming, low VOC, amorphous colloidal silica topical additive applied to freshly placed concrete that maintains adequate moisture while reducing the risk of concrete setting prematurely
Extended concrete workability
Lubricates concrete surface
Promotes proper hydration
Application
SikaCem®-190 Concrete Control must be worked into the surface immediately after application. Apply SikaCem®-190 Concrete Control using an automatic or low-pressure pump sprayer. A fan or cone tip is recommended for even application. SikaCem®-190 Concrete Control can also be used using the water tanks of a ride-on trowel.

TROWEL FINISHED CONCRETE:
Spray apply uniformly onto the concrete surface in three equal applications as follows:

First application should be applied directly after the screed and before bull floating.
Second application shall be applied just before the first panning.
Third application shall be applied after panning is complete, during the finishing stage.
TROWEL FINISH CONCRETE - FINISHING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Follow industry best practices/procedures to begin the finishing process as you would on a standard pour.
Machine panning is not recommended for exterior/air entrained concrete.
Finish by burning/burnishing the floor to desired level.
BROOM FINISHED CONCRETE:
Spray apply uniformly onto the concrete surface in two equal applications as follows:

First application should be applied directly after the screed and before bull floating.
Second application shall be applied before edging and refloating, prior to brooming.
STAMPED OR COLOR HARDENED CONCRETE:
Spray apply uniformly onto the concrete surface in two equal applications as follows:

First application shall be applied directly after the screed and before bull floating
Second application shall be applied before edging and refloating, prior to stamping or texturing.
