DESCRIPTION : PENETRON PLUS® is a unique integral crystalline chemical treatment for the waterproofing
and protection of concrete. PENETRON PLUS® has been specially formulated for dry-shake applications on horizontal concrete surfaces where greater impact and abrasion resistance is required. Packaged in the form of a dry powder
compound, PENETRON PLUS® consists of Portland cement, various active proprietary chemicals, and a synthetic aggregate hardener that has been crushed and graded to particle sizes suitable for concrete floors.
PENETRON PLUS® becomes an integral part of the concrete surface, thereby eliminating problems normally associated with coatings (e.g. scaling, dusting, flaking and delamination). The active chemicals react with the moisture in the fresh concrete causing a catalytic reaction that generates a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Application rate:
Under normal conditions, the coverage rate for PENETRON PLUS® is 1
lb/yd2 (0.6 kg/m2), depending on the degree of abrasion resistance
required.
NOTE: Under heavy traffic conditions or where even greater abrasion
resistance is required, consult a PENETRON technical representative for a
recommendation that meets your specific needs.
Application procedures:
application steps:
1. After fresh concrete is placed, consolidated and leveled, wait until
concrete can be walked on leaving an indentation of 1/4-1/3" (6-8 mm).
2. Concrete should be free of bleed water and be able to support the
weight of a power trowel. Float open the surface.
3. Immediately after floating open the surface and within one hour of
finishing the concrete, apply one-half of the dry-shake material by
hand or mechanical spreader. The dry-shake material must be spread
evenly.
4. As soon as the dry-shake material has absorbed moisture from the
base slab, it should be power floated to the surface.
5. Immediately after power floating, apply remaining dry-shake material
at right angles to the first application.
6. Allow remaining dry-shake material to absorb moisture from the base
slab and then power float the material into the surface. When concrete
has hardened sufficiently, power trowel surface to the required finish.
Curing:
Curing is important and should begin as soon as final set has occurred but
before surface starts to dry. Conventional moist curing procedures such as
water spray, wet burlap or plastic covers may be used. Curing should
continue for at least 48 hours. In hot, dry sunny conditions consult
manufacturer for specific instructions. In lieu of moist curing, concrete
sealers and curing compounds meeting ASTM C309 may be used. In all
cases, follow ACI guidelines and recommendations for proper curing.
NOTE: It is common that edges of a slab wall will set up earlier than the
main body of concrete. Such edge areas can be dry-shaked and finished
with hand tools prior to proceeding with application of the main body of concrete.
