KingKure 100AE®
Multipurpose resin based economical concrete curing compound.
SpecWorld has the Spec Pack, CSI specification and drawings for registered specifiers.
Overview
KingKure 100AE is an economical single component, acrylic resin based, coating designed to impregnate concrete surfaces combining the benefits of a curing aid and hardener.
KingKure 100AE is designed to overcome drawbacks of many commonly used curing membranes that tend to provide a limited service life following the curing period of new concrete. It has abrasion resistance and is compatible with several types of coatings.
Where to use
KingKure 100AE is mainly used for newly cast concrete and cementitious surfaces to retain sufficient moisture to ensure full hydration of the cement. Typical application areas include:
- High rise construction to eliminate water curing.
- Runways and roads.
- Roof decks.
- Retaining walls.
- Irrigation canals.
- General floor slab and columns.
- All cement based coloured plasters.
Why use it
- Recoat able.
- Non-degradable, single component.
- Enhanced concrete durability.
- Increase the surface abrasion resistance.
- UV resistance.
- Helps achieve concrete desired strengths.
- Minimizes potential surface cracking and shrinkage.
- Promotes a harder dust free surface.
- Can be spray applied to reduce labor cost.
OVERCOATING
KingKure 100AE can be over coated with the following:
- Polymer modified cementitious paint.
- Acrylic paints.
- Epoxy resin coating that is not dependable on penetration for surface bond.
- Bituminous emulsion paints.

How to use
Method of use
KingKure 100AE should be spray applied as soon as possible to the fresh concrete, provided that the surface water has evaporated. Do not apply if bleed water is forming, or is present on the concrete surface. Stir KingKure 100AE well before use to ensure even pigment dispersion.
KingKure 100AE should be spray applied, the spray nozzle should be held approximately 450 mm from the concrete surface and passed back and forth to ensure complete coverage. Pump pressure should be maintained to give an even, fine spray.
The applied film should be protected from rain for at least 3 hours; care should be taken to ensure that the film is not broken.
In case of formed concrete, KingKure 100AE should be applied immediately after de-shuttering. In such a case the concrete surface must be dampened with clean water prior application of KingKure 100AE.
REMARKS
- KingKure 100AE minimum application temperature is 5°C.
- KingKure 100AE can be applied on dry and old mineral substrates as a sealer and protective abrasion resistance coat. Doing this will result in deepening the substrate colour with semi-gloss finish.
- Water based curing compounds are also available from KINGKRETE.
Cleaning
Tools and equipment can be cleaned with soaped water when wet. Dried KingKure 100AE should be removed with KINGKRETE Solvent.
