Sika Film is a moisture evaporation retardant. It is designed to be used on concrete surfaces to reduce evaporative water loss. It protects freshly placed concrete from the effects of excessive moisture loss in all drying conditions. Note that Sika Film is not a curing compound.

Features:

Reduces the incidence of plastic shrinkage cracking Enables concrete to remain workable during finishing Economical and easy to apply Fugitive blue dye

Ideal for:

Retarding evaporation during dry or windy conditions
