ActiveCure™ documents and specifications

The specification table and the documents. How ActiveCure works, what it converts and how it is applied are set out in full on the product page.

Technical detail at a glance

ActiveCure™ is a water-based colloidal aluminate-silicate curing and densifying agent for freshly placed concrete. The table below is the specification a contractor or specifier needs on site: when it goes on, how it goes on, how far a gallon reaches, and what has to be true of the weather and the store room. The explanation behind those numbers, the early-age moisture loss the product is built for and the chemistry it runs, is on the ActiveCure product page.

ActiveCure has two published documents and both are listed below. There is no separate technical data sheet: the One-Sheet is the current spec card, and it is named here as Benjamin Cook names it rather than relabelled to look like something else. If Zirconia issues a further ActiveCure document, it will appear in this list.
