Water-Based Compound fights moisture loss.
February 14, 2005 - EVAPREâ„¢-RTU evaporation retardant forms thin monomolecular film to reduce rapid moisture loss from concrete surfaces prior to curing. VOC-compliant product minimizes plastic shrinkage and cracking, wind crusting, stickiness, and sponginess, which can cause poor and uneven surface texture. EVAPRE-RTU combats effects of rapid drying conditions such as low humidity, low dew point, direct sunlight, and hot weather. Protective film disappears when concrete is no longer plastic.

Fight the Destructive Effects of Moisture Loss in Concrete Surfaces with EVAPREâ„¢ - RTU
Hampshire, IL -EVAPRE-RTU ready-to-use evaporation retardant from W. R. MEADOWS is an economical, high quality, water-based compound. It is specifically designed to form a thin monomolecular film to reduce rapid moisture loss from concrete surfaces prior to curing. EVAPRE-RTU provides significant aid in producing high-quality concrete flatwork. Rapid evaporation of water is retarded, slab surface conditions are normalized, and workers can adhere more closely to established schedules by using EVAPRE-RTU. The product is also VOC compliant.
EVAPRE-RTU significantly reduces plastic shrinkage and cracking, wind crusting, stickiness and sponginess, which often cause poor and uneven surface texture. These conditions result when the hydration is more rapid than the movement of bleed water to the surface. EVAPRE-RTU effectively combats and minimizes the effects of rapid drying conditions such as low humidity, low dew point, high winds, direct sunlight, hot weather, heated concrete or placement of concrete in a heated enclosure or interior area during cold weather. The protective film disappears as soon as the concrete is no longer plastic.
EVAPRE-RTU is available in five-gallon pails and 55-gallon drums.
