CONFILM®
Confilm evaporation reducer helps produce high quality concrete flatwork and reduces surface moisture evaporation. Because Confilm retards evaporation, it is especially effective in combating rapid drying conditions including, high concrete and/or ambient temperatures, low humidity, high winds, direct sunlight or work in heated interiors during cold weather, etc.
Features - Reduced surface moisture evaporation about 80% in wind and about 40% in sunlight
- Eliminated or reduced crusting, stickiness and underlying sponginess which often cause unevenness and poor surface texture
Reduced and, in many instances, eliminated plastic shrinkage cracking and wind crusting of flatwork surfaces
Supplement the recommended practices for hot weather concreting
Safeguard against the ill effects of evaporation
Allowed lower slump and lower unit water content in concrete used for flatwork
- Facilitate use of air-entrained concrete, required for durability and workability, in situations where air-entrainment might be avoided for fear that it would increase concrete's susceptibility to crusting and stickiness under drying conditions
