Sika® Antisol® ER 50
(former MasterKure® ER 50)
EVAPORATION REDUCER
Sika® Antisol® ER 50 evaporation reducer reduces surface moisture evaporation from freshly placed concrete, especially in rapid drying conditions, such as high concrete surface or ambient temperatures, low humidity, high winds, direct sunlight, or work in heated interiors during cold weather.
- Does not affect concrete strength (early and ultimate), abrasion resistance, and durability
- Reduces or eliminates crusting, stickiness, and underlying sponginess, resulting in a consistent surface
- Allows reduced slump and water content in concrete to facilitate proper hydration of high-strength mixtures
- Reduces surface moisture evaporation by approximately 80% in wind and approximately 40% in sunlight to reduce plastic shrinkage cracking and wind crusting
- Prolongs surface plasticity for longer working time in hot, dry, or windy conditions
