Ameripolish® PCA™ is a penetrating curing agent that chemically hardens and dust-proofs concrete for improved abrasion resistance without forming a coating. PCA is recommended on newly placed concrete to add initial water and stain repellency while retaining slab moisture for
improved curing. PCA™ requires no UV light for dissipation and can be used with integrally colored concrete. Unlike traditional Cure and Seal products, PCA™ does not form a membrane that must be removed via chemical strippers or aggressive metal bond tools prior to polishing.
PCA Features
- Improves cure by retaining slab moisture
- Drastically reduces crazing and map cracking
- High penetrating, non-film forming – no need to grind or chemically remove membrane to dye/seal and burnish
- Forms hydrophobic barrier to increase stain repellency
- Improves scratch and abrasion resistance
- Helps reduce efflorescence and minimizes dust for healthier indoor air quality
- Odorless, non-flammable, VOC compliant
- Replaces traditional Cure & Seal products on new concrete
Penetrating Curing Agent Uses
- Ameripolish® PCA™ chemically hardens and dust proofs concrete for improved abrasion resistance. After concrete has cured, concrete can be mechanically polished without the removal of a film forming coating; as with traditional cures. Use Ameripolish® 3D
HS™ densifier during polish process for additional densification followed with either Ameripolish® 3D SP™ stain protector or SR²™ penetrating stain resistor. Use Ameripolish® 3D HS™, 3D SP™, or SR²™ for burnishing only as well. Use Ameripolish® Rejuvenating Cleaner Concentrate™ for subsequent on-going maintenance.
- Aides in slab moisture retention
- High penetrating non-film forming
- Saves labor by not forming a topical coating that would require removal for polished or burnished concrete
- Aides in cleaning by forming hydrophobic barrier preventing moisture and microscopic soil from penetrating surface
- Prepares surface for high gloss diamond polishing
- Improves scratch and abrasion resistance and reduces loss of concrete from normal wear
- Reduces loss of concrete from normal wear
- Adds water and stain repellency to newly finished concrete
- Helps prevent ASR
