Overview

 

Pentra-Cure™ (MH) is an eco-friendly, all-in-one treatment that cures, hardens and densifies fresh concrete with one application. It provides long-term protection for commercial and industrial floors against heavy wear and abuse. This unique solution forms a membrane on the surface that retains moisture for proper curing while the densifier penetrates and creates an abrasion resistant surface. This lithium-based solution is VOC compliant and easy to apply.

  • Meets current ASTM C-309 specification (<0.52 kg/m2 in 72 hours (* 0.55 kg/m2 max))

  • Cures, hardens and densifies in a single application

  • Easy to apply, can be applied by either the concrete finishing contractor or sub-contractor

  • Reduces labor costs

  • Easier curing compound removal

  • Minimizes surface defects common to improperly-cured concrete

  • Provides improved chemical and abrasion resistance
