Sika® Film

Finishing Aid & Evaporation Control

Sika® Film retards moisture evaporation from the concrete surface and acts as a finishing aid for concrete flatwork.

  • Sika® Film eliminates the need to add water to low slump concrete, or sprinkle water on the concrete surface to aid in finishing.
  • When applied to fresh concrete Sika® Film is an excellent finishing aid for extra smooth and durable concrete floors.
  • Prevents plastic shrinkage cracking caused by evaporation in low humidity conditions such as heat and high winds.
  • Aids in finishing concrete that produces little or no bleed water, such as microsilica mixes or mixes with air entrainment.
