EUCON 37
High Range Water Reducer - Superplasticizer
Description
shotcrete
EUCON 37 is a high range water-reducing admixture for us in wet shotcrete applications. It may be added to the
concrete at the job site or at the ready mix concrete plant. EUCON 37 is formulated to retain plastic consistancy
for 30-60 minutes after dosing depending on the initial slumps, dosage rates, and ambient temperature. No
chlorides are used in its formulation; consequently, it is recommended for prestressed concrete. It is also
compatible with air-entraining agents, waterproofing agents, calcium chloride and many other admixtures;
however, each material should be added to the concrete separately.
Primary Applications
• Wet shotcrete applications • Flatwork and mass concrete
• High performance concrete • Minimum water content concrete
• General ready mix concrete • Low water/cement ratio concrete
• Heavily reinforced concrete • High slump, flowable concrete
Features/Benefits
• Produces low water content and low water/cement ratio concrete allowing higher strengths
• Produces flowing concrete with better than normal strengths
• Aids in concrete placement and reduces labor cost
• When used in precast work with Type I cement will produce the high early strengths

Packaging
EUCON 37 is packaged in bulk, 275 gal (1041 L) totes, 55 gal (208 L) drums and 5 gal (18.9 L) pails.
Shelf Life
2 years in original, unopened package.
Specifications/Compliances
• Fully complies with the requirements of ASTM C 494, Types A & F admixtures.
• Fully complies with the requirements of AASHTO M 194.
• ANSI/NSF STD 61
Directions for Use

Eucon 37 can be added to the initial batch water or directly on the freshly batched concrete and mixed for
approximately 5 minutes or 70 revolutions. However, better results have been observed batching directly
on the freshly batched concrete. It should not come into contact with dry cement or other admixtures until
mixed thoroughly with the concrete batch.
EUCON 37 is typically used at dosages of 6 to 18 oz per 100 lbs (400 to 1170 mL per 100 kg) of
cementitious material. Other dosages are acceptable with prior testing and confirmation of the desired
performance with specific materials being used.
For any concrete application including Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC), the dosage of EUCON 37
will vary depending on the mix design, local materials, and individual needs of the concrete producer.
Trial mixes should be run to verify plastic and hardened performance with local materials. If the material
gradations are not optimum for SCC, a viscosity modifier may be used to improve the quality of the mix.
Please consult a local Euclid Chemical Sales Professional for trial mixtures and dosage recommendations.
EUCON 37 is compatible with most admixtures including air-entraining agents, accelerators, most water-
reducers, retarders, shrinkage reducers, corrosion inhibitors, viscosity modifiers, and microsilica; however,
each material should be added to the concrete separately. Please contact a Euclid Sales Professional for
any compatibility issues.
Figure 1:Recommended Dosage of Eucon 37 to achieve flowable concrete (7 - 9”/ 180-230 mm slump)
Initial Slump, inches (mm) Dosage Range of Eucon 37, oz/cwt (mL/100 kg)
4 (100) 8 - 10 (520 - 650)
3 (75) 10 - 12 (650 - 780)
2 1/2 (65) 12 - 14 (780 - 910)
2 (50) 14 - 16 (910 - 1040)
1 1/2 (40) 16 - 18 (1040 - 1170)
Placement
Concrete treated with EUCON 37 may be placed in the same fashion as conventional concrete.
Formwork
Forms for walls or narrow sections must be watertight, strong and have good bracing. During the “flowing
period”, when the concrete is at a slump of 7” to 9” (180-230 mm), the concrete will exert a higher pressure at
the base of the form than conventional concrete. Formwork for slabs is the same as for conventional concrete.
Precautions / Limitations
• Care should be taken to maintain EUCON 37 above freezing; however, freezing and subsequent thawing will
not harm the material if thoroughly agitated. Never agitate with air or an air lance.
• Keep concrete from freezing until a minimum strength of 1000 psi (7 MPa) is reached.

Directions For Use

Batching Sequence: The batching sequence in a SCC system is critical to optimize performance of each
admixture introduced. Laboratory data has shown the following order of addition to be effective:
1. Air Entraining Agent (optional)
2. Water Reducers
3. Accelerator or Retarder (optional)
4. VISCTROL
5. HRWR added at the end of the batching sequence
Master Format #:
Note: VISCTROL can be added at the end of the batching sequence on a limited basis to correct a slight
bleeding or segregation problem.
03 3000
Dosages of VISCTROL will vary widely depending on w/c ratio and the gradation of the materials used. Consult
your Euclid Chemical representitive for appropriate dosing suggestions. Typically, 1 to 12 oz/yd³ (39 to 470
mL/m³) should be used to control bleeding and segregation in SCC when polycarboxylate HRWR are used.
Variables such as water/cement ratio, sand gradations and mix design play an important role. Trial mixes should
be run to optimize dosing requirements. With higher water/cement ratios, lower total fines in SCC mixes, and
use of napthalene based HRWR, dosages of VISCTROL could be as high as 20 oz/yd3 (775 mL/m3).

11
• Agitate VISCTROL before use.
• Do not allow material to freeze.
• Air entraining agents must be added first, insuring adequate air void system when air is required.
• If slump increase is desired, the HRWR must be added after the addition of VISCTROL to insure an adequate
air void system.
• Set retardation may occur with the use of this product when dosages exceed 15 oz/yd3 (576 mL/m3).

Dosage
EUCON SURESHOT AF is generally dosed at rates ranging from 2.5% to 8% by weight of cement. Dosages will
vary depending on desired acceleration, ambient conditions and cement used. Use of alkali-free accelerators
to attain very early initial set times will cause lower 28 day strengths to occur. For this reason, it is important to
determine the lowest practical dose rate to attain desired acceleration.
Directions for Use

EUCON SURESHOT AF is added through the shotcrete nozzle.
For best results The Euclid chemical company recommends dosing EUCON SURESHOT AF using a peristaltic
or progressive cavity type pump. Do not use diaphragm, piston, ball and seat valve pumps, pressure tanks or
gear pumps.
After using EUCON SURESHOT AF, clean equipment thoroughly with water. Failure to do so could cause pump
blockage and/or breakdown.
• EUCON SURESHOT AF should be stored above 40oF (4oC) and below 85oF (29oC). Freezing and subsequent
thawing will not negatively affect product performance.
• Store EUCON SURESHOT AF in plastic or stainless steel tanks that are sealed to avoid contact between air

Shelf Life
Directions for Use
Surface Preparation: The concrete must be clean and rough. All oil, dirt, debris, paint and unsound concrete
must be removed. The surface must be prepared mechanically to achieve a surface profile similar to CSP 7
or greater in accordance with ICRI Guideline 310.2 and expose the coarse aggregate of the concrete. The final
step in cleaning should be the complete removal of all residue by pressure washing.
Exposed Reinforcement Steel: Remove all loose rust and scaling, preferably by sandblasting to white metal
prior to application.
Bonding: No bond coat should be used for this product.
Mixing Dry Shotcrete/Gunite: Set up dry process equipment in an area convenient to the placement site.
Pre-dampening is recommended prior to adding material to gun. Gauge water at the nozzle and adjust to the
desired consistency.
Placing Dry Shotcrete/Gunite: In general, EUCOSHOT should be applied in accordance with the
recommendations of ACI 506R “Guide to Shotcrete”. Pay special attention to the angle of the application (i.e.
90o) and distance from the substrate, normally 2 ft (0.6 m) to 6 ft (1.8 m). Typical application depths range from
1/2" to 6" (12 to 150 mm). If placement at a depth greater than 6" (150 mm) is required, cross hatch the surface
of the initial layer. After the surface has sufficiently hardened additional layers may be placed.
Mixing Wet Shotcrete: Add EUCOSHOT to water in the mixer drum [35 gal (130 L) of water per 3,300 lb (1500
kg)] bag of EUCOSHOT. Mix for 2 minutes and add remaining water up to 15 gal (60 L). eucoN 37 can be used
to reduce the amount of water required.
Placing Wet Shotcrete: In general, EUCOSHOT should be applied in accordance with the recommendation of
ACI 506R “Guide to Shotcrete’.
Finishing: A natural gun finish is preferred; however, conventional finishing methods such as screeding,
troweling, or brooming are acceptable. Do not add additional water to surface for finishing. If a finishing aid is
desired, use EUCOBAR. Note: Over-finishing can cause debonding.
Curing and Sealing: Proper curing procedures are important to ensure the durability and quality of the repair.
To prevent surface cracking, cure with water spray or a high solids curing compound, such as KUREZ W VOX
or KUREZ DR VOX.
clean-up
Clean tools and equipment with water before the material hardens.
• Do not allow applied shotcrete to freeze until the material has reached a minimum of 1000 psi (7 MPa)
compressive strength.
• In adverse temperatures, follow ACI recommendations for hot/cold weather concreting practices.
• Use only potable water at the nozzle.
• Minimum application thickness is 1/2" (13 mm).

Directions for Use
Surface Preparation: Concrete surfaces must be structurally sound, free of loose or deteriorated concrete and free
of dust, dirt, paint, efflorescence, oil and all other contaminants. Mechanically abrade the surface to a minimum depth
of 1/8” (3 mm) to achieve a surface profile equal to CSP 6 - 7 in accordance with ICRI Guideline 310.2. Properly clean
profiled area. Priming: Prior to placement the prepared concrete surface should be SSD (saturated surface dry).
A brush or spray application of DURALPREP AC can be used as a bonding agent. The DURALPREP AC must be
allowed to thoroughly dry prior to the application of EUCO IRON TOP. Alternately, a scrub coat of EUCO IRON
TOP can be applied to the SSD surface. The repair must be made before the scrub coat dries out.
Mixing: Small quantities may be mixed with a drill and “jiffy” mixer. Use a paddle type mortar mixer for large
jobs. Add the appropriate amount of water for the batch size and then add the EUCO IRON TOP. Mix for 2
minutes or until uniform consistency is reached.
Placement: EUCO IRON TOP has a fast set time; mixing and application must proceed quickly. Place EUCO
IRON TOP immediately after mixing, and finish the material to the desired texture.
Curing: Proper curing is critical to product performance. As soon as possible without marring the surface of
EUCO IRON TOP, apply a concrete curing or cure & seal compound.
Clean-Up
• If aesthetics is an issue, consider another product rather than EUCO IRON TOP.
• Mix only one unit at a time.
• The temperatures at the time of placement must be at least 40oF (4oC) and rising.

significantly enhances strength and durability. The super fine microsilica fills the voids between cement particles
creating a very dense, less permeable concrete.
• High strength concrete
• High density concrete
• Bridge decks
• Parking structures
• Marine environments
Features/Benefits
• High ultimate compressive and flexural strength for greater structural capacity
• High early strength gain for faster turnaround time
• Low permeability for greater resistance to water and salt penetration
• Increased abrasion and chemical resistance for a longer life expectancy
• Greatly improved freeze/thaw and scaling resistance
• Improves concrete performance to reduce column size, increase production and lower transportation and
erection costs

03 7000

43
Directions for Use
Due to the fineness of the EUCON MSA particles, the admixture needs to be thoroughly mixed and dispensed
in and around the cement particles. The proper dispersion is accomplished by adding the microsilica first in the
truck mixing process. A typical mix sequence would be:
1. EUCON MSA
2. 75% coarse aggregate, plus sand and 75% water
3. Air entraining admixture (if required)
4. Cement
5. Any Euclid Chemical high range water reducer(*).
6. Coarse aggregate 25% and 25% water
(*) Water demand will be increased when using microsilica. Most mixes will require the use of a high range
water reducer to maintain workability, a low water content and a low water/cement ratio.
Dosage: The use of EUCON MSA is normally used at the rate of 5 to 10% by weight of cement. Contact The
Euclid Chemical Company for guidance where higher dosages of up to 15% by weight of cement are needed.
Placement: Concrete treated with EUCON MSA may be placed in the same fashion as conventional concrete.
Finishing: Concrete containing EUCON MSA will bleed much less than conventional concrete; at higher dosage
rates bleeding will be essentially eliminated. Plastic shrinkage cracks occur due to rapid moisture loss from the
surface of the concrete. Because concrete containing EUCON MSA will have a reduced amount of bleed water
to replenish what has evaporated, it will be more susceptible to plastic shrinkage cracking.
Also, plastic shrinkage cracking is most likely to occur when low humidity, wind, high air temperature and high
concrete temperature are present in any combination. When these conditions do exist, the use of an evaporation
retardant such as EUCOBAR should be used. (See page 1 of the EUCOBAR technical data sheet for a table
which will show when conditions are favorable for the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking.) Note that
plastic shrinkage cracking on concrete containing EUCON MSA will occur at lower evaporation rates than for
normal concrete.
Methods other than EUCOBAR can be employed to help reduce the possible occurrence of shrinkage cracking.
These include erecting windbreaks, fog spray between finishing operations, covering concrete with wet burlap
and reducing concrete temperature with ice or cooled aggregates. Placing concrete later in the day to avoid
direct sunlight and high temperatures can also be done.
If plastic shrinkage cracks do occur, prompt reworking of the fresh concrete can effectively close them, preferably
using magnesium or steel tools. To prevent the reoccurrence of the shrinkage cracks, the concrete should be
promptly and thoroughly covered or kept moist.
If a high dosage of EUCON MSA is used in the concrete mix and conditions are favorable for plastic shrinkage
cracking, the concrete may become very difficult to finish. In situations such as this, it is recommended to use a
one pass finishing procedure of screeding, bullfloating and broom finishing or texturing of the surface followed
immediately by curing procedures.
Curing: Proper curing of concrete containing EUCON MSA is absolutely critical in order to achieve the
designed high strength and high durability. Proper curing requires the maintenance of proper moisture and
proper temperature conditions in the concrete.
All curing of concrete containing EUCON MSA should begin immediately after the finishing procedure
is completed. Acceptable curing methods are wet burlap, polyethylene and the use of a high solids liquid
membrane forming curing compound such as SUPER REZ-SEAL or SUPER AQUA-CURE VOX.
If a curing compound is not desired, wet cure for a minimum of seven (7) days.
Clean-Up
• Test batches/mix designs/sample slabs may be required due to variations in local cement and aggregates.
• Keep concrete from freezing until a minimum strength of 1,000 psi (7 MPa) is reached.

TUF-STRAND SF
Synthetic Macro-Fiber
Description
shotcrete
Tuf-strand SF “structural fibers” are a patented polypropylene / polyethylene synthetic macro-fiber successfully
used to replace steel fibers, welded wire mesh and conventional reinforcing bars in a wide variety of applications.
TUF-STRAND SF fibers comply with ASTM C1116, Standard Specification for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and
Shotcrete, and are specifically designed to provide equivalent tensile and bending resistance to conventional
reinforcement requirements. Concrete reinforced with TUF-STRAND SF will have three-dimensional reinforcing with
enhanced flexural toughness, impact and abrasion resistance and will also help mitigate the formation of plastic
shrinkage cracking in concrete. Dosage rates will vary depending upon the reinforcing requirements and can
range from 3.0 lbs/yd (1.8 kg/m³) to 20 lbs/yd (12 kg/m³). TUF-STRAND SF synthetic macro-fibers comply with
applicable portions of the International Code Council (ICC) Acceptance Criteria AC32 for synthetic fibers, are
UL certified for composite metal deck construction and are recognized within ACI 360 and SDI/ANSI-C1.0 as
a reinforcing alternate to WWF.
• Thin walled pre-cast (septic tanks, vaults, walls, etc.)

45
Directions for Use
TUF-STRAND SF fibers can be added to the concrete mixture at any time prior to placement of the concrete. It is
generally recommended to add any fiber material at the ready-mix concrete plant during batching. Fibers must be
mixed with concrete for a minimum of three (3) to five (5) minutes at maximum mixing speed to ensure complete
dispersion and uniformity. When adding 3 to 5 lbs/yd (2 to 3 kg/m3), a slump loss of 2” (50 mm) can be expected for a
typical ready-mix concrete design. For dosages of 6 to 12 lbs (4 to 7 kg/m3), a slump loss of 3 to 5 in (75 to 125 mm)
can be expected. The use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, such as Eucon 37, 1037 or the Plastol series of
admixtures may be necessary to maintain desired workability.
Add other admixtures independently from fiber addition. TUF-STRAND SF is compatible with all other Euclid Chemical
admixtures. When used properly, and placed in a concrete mix of sufficient workability, the fibers will not adversely alter
the compressive or flexural strength of concrete or shotcrete.
Clean-up
Loose fiber material may be disposed in proper receptacles for refuse. Finishing equipment with fibers embedded
in concrete should be thoroughly cleaned.
• Use of fibers may cause an apparent loss in measured slump of concrete. This may be offset with the use of
a water reducing admixture if necessary.
• Fibers should never be added to a “zero-slump” concrete. Ensure a minimum concrete slump of 3” (80 mm) prior
to addition of any fiber material. Fibers may also be added in loose form to aggregate charging devices.
• In all cases, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet before use. Rev. 8.11

Directions for Use
Surface Preparation: The form surface must be free from dirt, cement paste, hardened concrete and
other residue that could transfer to the finished concrete surface. Before coating plywood forms, apply a
heavy brush coat to the plywood edges to protect laminations.
Application: In cold weather or if FORMSHIELD PURE has been stored in a cold location, gently stir
the product before using. FORMSHIELD PURE can be applied by brush, spray or roller. Apply in a
continuous film, avoiding excessive buildup, runs and puddles. Forms treated with FORMSHIELD PURE
will be ready to use within one hour on plywood and 2 to 3 hours on metal and plastic forms. Used forms
can be re-coated with FORMSHIELD PURE if proper surface preparation techniques are followed.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and application equipment immediately after use with mineral spirits. Clean drips and
overspray while still wet.
• Do not thin or dilute FORMSHIELD PURE.
• The viscosity of FORMSHIELD PURE increases at low temperatures, resulting in reduced sprayability.

Directions for Use
PSI 11050 Steel fibers can be added to the concrete mixture at any time prior to placement of the concrete. It is
generally recommended to add any fiber material at the ready-mix concrete plant during batching. The actual
dosage rate will vary depending upon the application and performance requirements for each project. Fibers must
be mixed with concrete for a minimum of four (4) to five (5) minutes at maximum mixing speed, depending on
the mixer type, to ensure complete dispersion and uniformity. The addition of PSI 11050 Steel Fiber, at provided
dosage rates, will decrease the measured slump of concrete; however, additional water should not be added. The
use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, such as Eucon 1037, Eucon MRX or the Plastol series of admixtures
may be necessary to maintain desired workability.
Add other admixtures independently from fiber addition. When used properly, and placed in a concrete mix of
sufficient workability, the fibers will not adversely alter the compressive or flexural strength of concrete or shotcrete.

• ASTM C 94, Type A & F
• AASHTO M 194
• ACI 201 and ACI 318 Minimal chloride content
Directions for Use

Quantity- EUCON 37 “P” is used at a range of 0.2 to 0.56% by weight of cementitious material. When EUCON
37 “P” is added, at a rate of 0.4% of cement, to a 1”- 3” (25 - 75 mm) slump concrete, it will produce flowable
concrete with a slump of 7”- 10” (180-255 mm).
The slump loss will be gradual up to six (6) hours at a temperature of 72˚F (22˚C) and up to three (3) hours
at a temperature of 120F (49˚C) when proper quantities of EUCON 37 “P” are used. Variations in slump loss
and setting characteristics are a function of the amount of admixture used, cement characteristics and the mix
design selected. An increase in concrete temperature will cause an increase in slump loss and a decrease in
initial set time.
Suggested Quantities
Initial Slump (inches (mm) Dosage (% by wt cement
4” (102) 0.25 - 0.30
3” (76) 0.30 - 0.38
2 1/2” (64) 0.38 - 0.44
2” (51) 0.44 - 0.50
1 1/2” (38) 0.50 - 0.56
Formwork: Forms for walls or narrow sections must be watertight, strong and have good bracing. During the
“flowing period”, when the concrete is at a slump of 7” to 9” (180-230 mm), the concrete will exert a higher
pressure at the base of the form than conventional concrete. Formwork for slabs is the same as for conventional
concrete.

• The use of EUCON 37 “P” varies with every application. Therefore, The Engineering or Technical Services
Departments of The Euclid Chemical Company should be consulted whenever a question on usage or
compatibility with other admixtures is raised. Many successful mix designs are on file and can be an excellent
reference when preparing a project mix design.
• To minimize concrete problems at concrete temperatures higher than 75˚F (24˚C), or in windy weather, follow
recommendations of ACI 305-89 report, “Hot Weather Concreting”.
• Add to mix independent of other admixtures.

79
Directions for Use
Underwater Applications
To reduce the washout of cement and fine aggregates when placing concrete underwater, 10 to 32 oz per 100 lb
(0.65 to 2.1 L/100 kg) of cement is recommended. At a dosage rate of 25 oz per 100 lb (1.6 L/100 kg) of cement,
set retardation may be 6 to 10 hours. In non air entrained concrete applications, the concrete should be batched
and the slump adjusted either with water or HRWR prior to the addition of EUCON AWA.
Do not use water to adjust slump after EUCON AWA has been dispensed, instead, adjust slump through the use
of a superplasticizer such as EUCON 37. Contact Euclid Chemical for a product recommendation.
If air entrainment is desired, the addition of the air entraining admixture should be done at the beginning of the
batching sequence. EUCON AWA should be added before the HRWR to insure an adequate air void system.
For further recommendations on underwater concreting and underwater concrete mix designs, please consult
the ACI 304, “Measuring, Mixing, Transporting and Placing Concrete”.
• Do not allow material to freeze
• Superplasticizers must be used to increase slump after the addition of EUCON AWA
• Significant set retardation may occur with the use of this product

Directions for Use

Surface & Crack Preparation: To ensure the project is completed properly, clean the exterior of the surface so that the
full extent of the crack or joint can be seen. This will aid in proper hole drilling. Start by determining the thickness of the
concrete substrate that will be repaired. This will be used in the spacing of packers. Starting at the lowest point of the
crack; triangulate the position of the first hole to be drilled, so it will intersect the crack at a 45° angle, half-way through
the thickness of the concrete. Drill a 5/8” (16 mm) hole in this position and ensure that the bit used is long enough to
pass through the crack. Drill the next hole in the same manner on the opposite side of the crack. The spacing between
holes should be equal to the thickness of the concrete. Continue to drill holes in the same manner, moving up the crack
until the entire length of the crack or joint has an equal chance of receiving the grout. Install 5/8” (16 mm) injection
packers into the drilled holes and tighten. Inject water through the packers to make sure they don’t leak around the
sides. This water injection will also flush out any dust and debris that is in the crack due to the drilling process.
Mixing: Prior to injecting DURAL AQUA-DAM, properly stir the material and the accelerator. Do not use high speed
mixing equipment and avoid whipping air into the product. Pour the appropriate amount of DURAL AQUACCELERATOR
into the DURAL AQUA-DAM and mix on slow speed for a minute or two, to ensure the accelerator is fully mixed in. The
mixing ratios are as follows:
DURAL AQUA-DAM DURAL AQUACCELERATOR
Package Size Standard Amount Minimum Maximum

5 gal (19 L) Pail 16 oz. (0.47 L) 8 oz. (0.24 L) 32 oz. (0.94 L)
55 gal (208 L) Drum 1.25 gal (4.75 L) 80 oz. (2.4 L) 2.5 gal (9.5 L)
The standard mixing ratio should be used in most instances. Do not mix less than the minimum amount of accelerator
because the material may not react correctly, especially in colder weather. Do not add more than the maximum amount
of accelerator or the material risks shrinking, thus allowing water to pass through the crack or joint again.
Placement: Once the injection packers have been set and the drilled holes and crack have been flushed out with water,
the injection of the material can begin. Start at the lowest point of a vertical crack and work upwards. Pump DURAL
AQUA-DAM into the packer until foaming material comes out the face of the crack and starts to approach the next
packer. On a horizontal crack, start at the end that was first installed and flushed with water. The more water left in the
crack and injection site, the better. Move the injection head to the second packer and repeat for the entire length of the
crack. A standard airless paint pump can be used for this application. Typical injection pressure into cracks is 200-3000
psi (1.4-20 MPa), depending on the width and depth of the crack. For large cracks and joints, oakum rope or a similar
open celled structure device can be soaked in DURAL AQUA-DAM and placed into the crack or joint. Once the DURAL
AQUA-DAM has cured, the packers can be removed or cut-off, flush with the surrounding surface. Any grout cured
outside of the face of the crack can be cut-back with a margin trowel or similar scraping tool. The packer holes can then
be filled in with Euclid Chemical’s Speed Plug hydraulic cement and finished as desired.
Clean-Up
Use all appropriate protective equipment. Avoid contact with the active grout. Use DURAL PUMP RINSE to clean out the
lines of the injection equipment. DURAL PUMP RINSE can be left in the lines as a primer, prior to the next project. Be
sure to expel all DURAL PUMP RINSE from the lines prior to the next grouting job, or it will drastically affect the curing
capability of the grout.
• Colder temperatures will affect the viscosity and setting times of the product.
• Avoid exceeding 90°F (32°C) when warming product.
• Water mixed with DURAL AQUA-DAM must be in the pH range of 3-10.
• Store material in moisture free packaging. Atmospheric moisture can cause a foam “head” on the product inside of
pail. Remove the foam and the remaining material can be used.

Directions for Use

Quantity- EUCON 37 “P” is used at a range of 0.2 to 0.56% by weight of cementitious material. When EUCON
37 “P” is added, at a rate of 0.4% of cement, to a 1”- 3” (25 - 75 mm) slump concrete, it will produce flowable
concrete with a slump of 7”- 10” (180-255 mm).
The slump loss will be gradual up to six (6) hours at a temperature of 72˚F (22˚C) and up to three (3) hours
at a temperature of 120F (49˚C) when proper quantities of EUCON 37 “P” are used. Variations in slump loss
and setting characteristics are a function of the amount of admixture used, cement characteristics and the mix
design selected. An increase in concrete temperature will cause an increase in slump loss and a decrease in
initial set time.

Formwork: Forms for walls or narrow sections must be watertight, strong and have good bracing. During the
“flowing period”, when the concrete is at a slump of 7” to 9” (180-230 mm), the concrete will exert a higher
pressure at the base of the form than conventional concrete. Formwork for slabs is the same as for conventional
concrete.
• The use of EUCON 37 “P” varies with every application. Therefore, The Engineering or Technical Services
Departments of The Euclid Chemical Company should be consulted whenever a question on usage or
compatibility with other admixtures is raised. Many successful mix designs are on file and can be an excellent
reference when preparing a project mix design.

be produced (5,000 psi in 24 hours) which allows for early stressing of anchors and loading of micropiles. No
chlorides are used in the formulation.
High strength grouts are made using low water – cement ratio grouts (<0.45 – 1.0). Admixtures such as EUCO
THX increase grout flowability at low water – cement ratios allowing them to be pumped and placed with ease.
Additional components of EUCO THX provide for expansion of the grout to compensate for cement grouts
normal tendency to shrink which provides a non-shrink grout.

Directions for Use
EUCO THX can be added to regular anchor grout mixes to improve flowability and increase grout strength and
reduce grout shrinkage. To increase early and ultimate grout strength and further reduce or eliminate shrinkage,
use 4 to 4 ½ gallons of water per 94 pound sack of cement and 5 to 6 pounds of EUCO THX. Grout strength
and shrinkage will vary depending on cement used, so always test grout mixes prior to production grouting.
When casting sample cubes always use brass molds to provide confinement against expansion during curing.
• Test mixes may be required due to variations in local materials and conditions

EUCON WO
Cement Stabilizer/Water Reducing Set Retarding Admixture
for Geotechnical Applications
Geotechnical
Description
EUCON WO slows or prevents the normal hydration of portland cement for up to 96 hours depending upon the
dosage rate used. It is advantageous in hot weather applications to prevent early setting of the grout and can
be used to extend the working time of cementitious grouts and concrete by hours or days. EUCON W.O. can be
used to stop the hydration of grouts and concrete due to unscheduled delays, such as mechanical breakdown
of equipment, hose breaks, etc. Rather than dumping an entire batch of grout or concrete and clean out mixer
and agitator, the existing material can be “put to sleep” for an extended period of time to allow for production
blocks to be cleared allowing the resumption of grouting.
EUCON W.O. does not contain any added chloride ions and is non-corrosive. EUCON W.O. can be used as a
water reducing set retarding admixture to minimize slump loss.

Fresh Grouts
EUCON W.O, can be added to freshly batched grout mixes in a range between 1 to 32 ounces of EUCON W.O.
to 100 pounds of reactive cementitious material. The set delay is a function of the amount of EUCON W.O. used.
Samples should be taken and the set time measured to determine the dosage response.
Existing Grouts
An estimate of the amount of cementitious material must be made prior to dosing the grout. For every 100
pounds of cement estimated to be in the grout mix, add approximately 10 ounces of EUCON W.O. This dosage
recommendation is a starting point. A dosage chart should be developed based on varying cement types and
contents, temperatures and concrete ages.

109
Directions for Use
Mixing: For soil stabilization projects, an accelerator is not typically used. Important: It is more beneficial to allow
the material to soak further into the soil before it sets, rather than having a catalyst react the material before it can
fully penetrate. If you feel you need to mix an accelerator into DURAL MUD LOCK, mix in the appropriate amount
of DURAL AQUACCELERATOR according to the chart below.
Dural Mud Lock Dural Aquaccelerator
Package Size Standard Amount Minimum Maximum

5 gal (19 L) Pail 16 oz. (0.47 L) 8 oz. (0.24 L) 32 oz. (0.94 L)
55 gal (208 L) Drum 1.25 gal (4.75 L) 80 oz. (2.4 L) 2.5 gal (9.5 L)
For most applications, the reaction will occur underground, so visual inspection of this reaction will be difficult. Do
not add more than the maximum amount of DURAL AQUACCELERATOR or the grout will face a greater risk of
shrinking, thus allowing some loose soil to free up from the bound mass.
Placement: Placement techniques vary for this application due to variations in soil type and content, compaction
of the ground, amount of water/moisture present, and temperature. Injection rods are placed into the ground at
spacing which will be predetermined. To ensure the DURAL MUD LOCK will react appropriately, introduce water
into the soil through the injection rods. Follow up by injecting DURAL MUD LOCK into the soil through the rods
by means of a single component, airless pump. Track the flow and progress of the DURAL MUD LOCK as the
reacted foam will appear out of adjacent injection rods. Move the injection equipment around accordingly to
ensure the entire area is injected. Once the entire area is completed, the injection rods can be snapped off and
any subsequent work can begin.
Clean-Up
lines of the injection equipment. DURAL PUMP RINSE can then be left in the lines as a primer, prior to the next project.
Be sure to expel all DURAL PUMP RINSE from the lines prior to the next grouting job, for it will drastically affect the curing

Surface Preparation: The form surface must be free from dirt, cement paste, hardened concrete and
other residue that could transfer to the finished concrete surface. Before coating plywood forms, apply a
heavy brush coat to the plywood edges to protect laminations.
Application: In cold weather or if FORMSHIELD PURE has been stored in a cold location, gently stir
the product before using. FORMSHIELD PURE can be applied by brush, spray or roller. Apply in a
continuous film, avoiding excessive buildup, runs and puddles. Forms treated with FORMSHIELD PURE
will be ready to use within one hour on plywood and 2 to 3 hours on metal and plastic forms. Used forms
can be re-coated with FORMSHIELD PURE if proper surface preparation techniques are followed.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and application equipment immediately after use with mineral spirits. Clean drips and
overspray while still wet.
• Do not thin or dilute FORMSHIELD PURE.
• The viscosity of FORMSHIELD PURE increases at low temperatures, resulting in reduced sprayability.

EUCOBAR
Evaporation Retardant
Description
tunneling
EUCOBAR is designed to be used as an evaporation retardant on concrete surfaces of all types. When sprayed
over fresh concrete, EUCOBAR forms a thin, continuous film which prevents rapid moisture loss from the
concrete surface. It is easy to use requiring only the addition of water before spray application. EUCOBAR is
especially effective when concreting operations must be performed in direct sun, wind, high temperatures, or
low relative humidity.
• Floors • Dry shake floors including all SURFLEX and
• Pavements EUCO-PLATE formulations
• Plain concrete toppings • Specialty iron toppings
• Vertical/overhead repairs • Parking decks and ramps
Features/Benefits
• Holds in surface moisture on concrete floors, slabs, • Water based for total compatibility with fresh
and repairs concrete
• Helps prevent plastic shrinkage cracking • Excellent for both interior and exterior concrete
• Easy and economical to use projects
• Helps eliminate crusting caused by loss of surface • Will not effect adhesion of curing compound or
moisture other treatments
EUCOBAR
EUCOBAR is a water based polymer concentrate that is readily dilutable in water.
Evaporation rate is a function of relative humidity, concrete temperature, air temperature and wind velocity.
Plastic shrinkage cracking is a strong possibility when the rate of evaporation exceeds 0.2 lb/ft2/hr (1.0 kg/m2/
hr). The chart on the back of this page (Fig. 2.1.5 of ACI 305, Hot Weather Concreting) is useful in determining
the evaporation rate under a given set of jobsite conditions. Use EUCOBAR when the above limit is exceeded.
Appearance: EUCOBAR is a free flowing pink liquid designed to be mixed with water. The use of EUCOBAR will
not affect the color of concrete.
Packaging
EUCOBAR is packaged in 55 gal (208 L) drums, 5 gal (18.9 L) pails and 6/1 gal (3.8 L) units per case.

EUCOBAR (after dilution) will cover approximately 200 to 400 ft2/gal (5 to 10 m2/L). Coverage will vary depending
on concrete texture and wind conditions. For estimating purposes, 1 gal (3.8 L) of EUCOBAR concentrate will
treat 2000 to 4000 ft2 (186 to 372 m2) of concrete surface area, but is highly dependent upon ambient conditions.

03 01 30.71
Directions for Use

Surface Preparation: Concrete surfaces must be structurally sound, free of loose or deteriorated concrete
and free of dust, dirt, paint, efflorescence, oil and all other contaminants. Mechanically abrade the surface to
achieve a surface profile equal to CSP 6 - 8 in accordance with ICRI Guideline 310.2. Properly clean profiled
area. Priming: Clean and prime exposed steel with DURALPREP AC. Concrete should be primed with a spray
or brush coat of DURALPREP AC. The primer coat of DURALPREP AC must be allowed to thoroughly dry prior
to the application of SPEED CRETE RED LINE. Alternately, a Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) concrete surface

129
can be primed with a scrub coat of SPEED CRETE RED LINE. The repair must be made before the scrub coat
dries out.
Mixing: SPEED CRETE RED LINE will require approximately 5 to 5.5 qt (4.7 to 5.2 L) of potable water per 50 lb
(22.7 kg) bag to achieve the proper mix consistency. Pour the measured amount of water into a clean mixing
container, then add the SPEED CRETE RED LINE, and thoroughly mix for no more than 60 seconds to a stiff,
no slump, putty-like consistency. Mix small quantities of SPEED CRETE RED LINE in a clean pail with a hand
trowel. Use a rotary mixer with rubber tip blades for mixing quantities up to 100 lbs. (45.4 kg). To fill patches 2”
(5.1 cm) deep or greater, add clean, pre-dampened, 3/8” (0.96 cm) size pea gravel. Do not use limestone
aggregate. The mix ratio must not exceed 40 lbs. (18 kg) of pea gravel to each 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag or pail
of SPEED CRETE RED LINE. Mixing procedure: Start mixer, load water, load pea gravel, and then load the
SPEED CRETE RED LINE. Mix for no more than 60 seconds.
Application: To ensure a complete bond with the entire surface, force the SPEED CRETE RED LINE firmly into
the SSD area by hand or with a trowel. Slightly overfill the repair, and following initial set, shave the material
to conform to the contour of the surrounding surface. Always shave SPEED CRETE RED LINE toward the
common bonding edge between the repair mortar and the existing surface. Cure material using standard curing
practices.
Cold Weather Installation: Application at temperatures below 40°F(4°C) extends the set time. Heating the
repari area until warm, using warm water for mixing and tenting or insulating the repair area after application
will assist in reaching greater strength development. Do not use direct heat on the repair after its installation.
Clean-Up
Clean application tools and mixing equipment with water immediately following use.
• Keep in covered storage away from all moisture.
• Mix no more than 60 seconds.
• Use only potable water with SPEED CRETE RED LINE.
• Mix to a stiff, putty-like, no slump consistency.
• Do not retemper or add sand to SPEED CRETE RED LINE.
• Do not overwork or overtrowel patching material.
• Do not featheredge SPEED CRETE RED LINE on horizontal surfaces.

Directions for Use
Surface Preparation: Concrete surfaces must be structurally sound, free of loose or deteriorated concrete and
free of dust, dirt, paint, efflorescence, oil and all other contaminants. Mechanically abrade the surface to achieve
a surface profile equal to CSP 6 - 8 in accordance with ICRI Guideline 310.2. Properly clean profiled area.
Priming: Concrete and exposed steel should be primed with a spray or brush coat of DURAPREP AC. The
DURALPREP AC must be thoroughly dry prior to the application of DURALTOP GEL. Alternately, a Saturated
Surface Dry (SSD) concrete surface can be primed with a scrub coat of DURALTOP GEL. The repair must be

131
made before the scrub coat dries out.
Mixing: Mix only one kit of DURALTOP GEL at a time. In a clean container, add 80% of liquid Part B. Using a "
slow speed (400 to 600 rpm) drill and a “Jiffy” mixer, gradually add the powder (Part A) to produce a mortar with
a smooth, no lumps consistency. Add remaining liquid, if necessary, to get desired consistency. Do not mix
longer than 3 minutes.
Application: Air and surface temperature must be above 45°F (7°C). Apply DURALTOP GEL immediately
after mixing. The working time is about 15 minutes, and finish time about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on
temperature, humidity and finish desired. The surface must be SSD at the time of application. Before the scrub
coat dries, trowel the material against the edge, and gradually work towards the center of the repair area. Apply
at a minimum thickness of 1/8” (0.32 cm) and in lifts of no more than 1.5” (3.81 cm). Each lift should be allowed
to reach final set, then scored to produce a roughened surface before applying the next lift. Consolidate,
screed, and then finish following standard practices.
Curing: Follow standard ACI guidelines for curing. In the case of high temperature, high wind, or low humidity
causing rapid surface drying, use wet burlap/plastic or a water based curing compound. Protect from rain and
freezing temperatures before the product is sufficiently cured. DO NOT use solvent based curing compounds.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and equipment with water before DURALTOP GEL hardens. Hardened DURALTOP GEL will need to
be mechanically removed from equipment.
• Store at temperatures between 45°F and 90°F (7°C to 32°C), protected from moisture.
• Protect from freezing.
• Mix only one kit at a time.
• DO NOT MIX DURALTOP GEL LONGER THAN 3 MINUTES.
• Do not apply DURALTOP GEL below 45°F (7°C).
• Apply immediately after mixing.
• Delayed application will reduce adhesion.
• Minimum thickness 1/8" (3.2 mm), maximum per lift 1½" (38.1mm).

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation: The surface must be structurally sound, dry, free of grease, oils, curing compounds,
efflorescence, laitance and any other contaminants that would interfere with adhesion. All previous coatings on the
substrate must be removed. Concrete: Smooth, precast and formed concrete surfaces must be cleaned, roughened
and made absorptive by mechanical abrasion. All coatings must be removed completely to provide an absorptive
surface. Remove excess moisture, drips and puddles from the surface. The surface should be saturated surface dry
(SSD) with no standing water prior to application. Steel: All oils, greases, dirt, old coatings or chemical contaminates
must be removed. All steel surfaces should be blasted to a “NEAR WHITE” metal finish using clean dry blasting
media.
Mixing: Mix one full kit at a time. DURALPREP A.C. must be mechanically mixed with a slow speed motor and mixing
blade to thoroughly disperse all ingredients. A 1/2" (13mm) drill motor and a “Jiffy” mixer may be used. Premix each
container (Parts A & B). Pour Part A and Part B into a clean container. Start mixer and mix at slow speed for 30 to 45
seconds. Do not aerate the mix. While mixing gradually, add all of the Part C powder into the mixed liquid to produce
a smooth lump free consistency. Mix thoroughly for approximately 3 minutes.
Application: Air and surface temperature must be above 45°F (7°C) and rising. Maximum temperature should not
exceed 90°F (32°C). The approximate working life is 30 to 45 minutes depending on the temperature. Bonding
Agent: Apply DURALPREP A.C. to the SSD surface using a stiff bristle brush or spray equipment. Allow to cure
30 minutes before placing concrete. DURALPREP A.C. has an open time of from 30 min to 24 hrs at 75°F (24°C).
Anti-Corrosion Coating: Coat the exposed reinforcing steel, making sure to coat the underside portion of the steel.

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation: New concrete must be a minimum of 28 days old and possess an open, porous and textured
surface with all curing compounds and sealers removed. Old concrete must be clean and well textured. All oil,
dirt, debris, paint and unsound concrete must be removed. The surface should be prepared mechanically using
equipment that will give a surface profile commensurate with the application. The final step in cleaning should be the
complete removal of all residue with a vacuum cleaner or pressure washer.
Bulk Mixing: All materials should be in the proper temperature range of 60°F (16°C) to 90°F (32°C). Mix parts A and B
(resin & hardener) using a drill and mixing prop. The epoxy must be well mixed to a uniform color with no streaking in
order to ensure proper chemical reaction. If aggregate is to be added, the aggregate is added to the epoxy after the
part A and part B have been premixed together. Place immediately.
Application: (Priming, Bonding Or Sealing): Use either Low Viscosity or Medium Viscosity formulations in these
applications. Apply material by roller, brush, or squeegee in a uniform fashion. Do not allow the material to puddle.
Extremely porous surfaces may require a second coat for proper ultimate performance.
Priming & Bonding: If using EUCO #452 as a bonding agent for a cementitious topping, place the topping on the
EUCO #452 while the epoxy is still wet. If the epoxy has become “tacky” to the point where it is no longer a sticky
liquid, a fresh coat of EUCO #452 must be applied before the topping is placed.
Sealing: If a second coat of EUCO #452 is to be placed on the concrete, the first coat should be slightly tacky (4 to
10 hours old) when the second coat is applied. A slip resistant surface can be created by broadcasting silica sand (20
to 50 mesh) into the coating and then backrolling to embed the sand.
Repair Mortars: Repair mortars can be made with these products by adding aggregate. Size, gradation and the
amount of aggregate will be determined by the application. The surface should be primed with EUCO #452 LV prior to
application of the repair mortar. Mix the epoxy unit (Part A with Part B) prior to adding the aggregate. Trowel the mortar
into place. If the surface is too rough, a topcoat of either EUCO #452 LV or MV can be applied.
Cartridge Epoxy Application Instructions: Remove cap and divider plugs. Attach mixer tip and dispense epoxy with
smooth, constant pressure. Discard epoxy until a uniform, streak-free color is achieved. Anchor installation: Insert
the static mixer tip and fill hole from the bottom, slowly withdrawing the tip as the epoxy is dispensed until the hole
is approximately half full. Insert the anchor with a slow, twisting motion to ensure complete epoxy contact with no air
voids. Stabilize anchor until epoxy is cured.

Directions for Use
Surface Preparation: If using this product in a cement bond coat, the base concrete must be a minimum of
3 days old. The concrete must be clean and rough. All oil, dirt, debris, paint and unsound concrete must be
removed. The surface must be prepared mechanically using a scabbler, bushhammer, shotblast or scarifier
which will give a surface profile of a minimum 1/8" (3 mm) and expose the large aggregate of the concrete.
NOTE: Acid etching is not acceptable. The final step in cleaning should be the complete removal of all residue with
a vacuum cleaner or pressure washing. Allow the concrete surface to begin drying. Do not place cement bond coat
on standing water. All concrete must possess an open surface texture with all curing compounds and sealers removed. All
areas should be Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) to reduce moisture loss. Do not place bond coat on standing water.
Bonding: For bonding traffic bearing toppings with this product, The Euclid Chemical Company strongly
recommends using a bond coat rather than using this product as a primer by itself. After the surface has been
prepared, prime all areas with a bond coat (see above mix design) before the topping is applied. Follow mixing
and placing instructions listed below. Place the topping on the bond coat before it dries out.
Mixing: Small quantities may be mixed with a drill and "jiffy" mixer. Use a paddle type mortar mixer for large
jobs. All materials should be in the proper temperature range of 40°F (5°C) to 90°F (32°C). Add the appropriate
amount of FLEX-CON for the batch size and then add the dry material. Mix a minimum of 3 minutes. The mixed
product should be quickly transported to the repair area and placed immediately.
Bond Coat Application: Spread the bond coat with a stiff bristle broom until the suggested coverage rate
is achieved. Topping Application: For patching, spread with a trowel, come-a-long, or square tipped shovel to
a thickness that matches the surrounding concrete. Finish by hand trowelling. On large floor areas, use screed
guides in combination with a vibratory screeding to level. Compact and finish by hand or machine trowel.
Finishing: Finish the repair mortar to the desired texture. Typical texture is a broom or sponge float finish,
though mortars made with FLEX-CON can be steel trowelled. Do not add additional water to the surface during
the finishing operation. If additional liquid is required, use EUCOBAR finishing aid.
Curing: All cement products must be adequately cured. Proper curing procedures are important to ensure
the durability and quality of the repair or overlayment. To prevent surface cracking, a moist cure should be
maintained for 24 hours followed by use of a curing compound such as DIAMOND CLEAR VOX or AQUA-CURE
VOX. NOTE: Do not use a solvent-based curing compound on latex modified mortars.
Clean-Up
• Do not use material at temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
• Do not use FLEX-CON by itself as a bonding agent. It must be mixed with cement.
• No heavy traffic until the repair has cured.
• Do not use in ready mix concrete.
• For thin topping mixes or large overlays, use SBR LATEX.
• For bonding floor toppings, a slurry bond coat is recommended.
• Use of this product in conjunction with air entrained cement/concrete or with other admixtures may significantly
increase total entrained air content. Testing is strongly advised.
• Do not use a solvent-based curing compound on latex modified mortars.

TUF-STRAND SF
Synthetic Macro-Fiber
Description
tunneling
Tuf-strand SF “structural fibers” are a patented polypropylene / polyethylene synthetic macro-fiber successfully
used to replace steel fibers, welded wire mesh and conventional reinforcing bars in a wide variety of applications.
TUF-STRAND SF fibers comply with ASTM C1116, Standard Specification for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and
Shotcrete, and are specifically designed to provide equivalent tensile and bending resistance to conventional
reinforcement requirements. Concrete reinforced with TUF-STRAND SF will have three-dimensional reinforcing with
enhanced flexural toughness, impact and abrasion resistance and will also help mitigate the formation of plastic
shrinkage cracking in concrete. Dosage rates will vary depending upon the reinforcing requirements and can
range from 3.0 lbs/yd (1.8 kg/m³) to 20 lbs/yd (12 kg/m³). TUF-STRAND SF synthetic macro-fibers comply with
applicable portions of the International Code Council (ICC) Acceptance Criteria AC32 for synthetic fibers, are
UL certified for composite metal deck construction and are recognized within ACI 360 and SDI/ANSI-C1.0 as
a reinforcing alternate to WWF.

139
Directions for Use
TUF-STRAND SF fibers can be added to the concrete mixture at any time prior to placement of the concrete. It is
generally recommended to add any fiber material at the ready-mix concrete plant during batching. Fibers must be
mixed with concrete for a minimum of three (3) to five (5) minutes at maximum mixing speed to ensure complete
dispersion and uniformity. When adding 3 to 5 lbs/yd (2 to 3 kg/m3), a slump loss of 2” (50 mm) can be expected for a
typical ready-mix concrete design. For dosages of 6 to 12 lbs (4 to 7 kg/m3), a slump loss of 3 to 5 in (75 to 125 mm)
can be expected. The use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, such as Eucon 37, 1037 or the Plastol series of
admixtures may be necessary to maintain desired workability.
Add other admixtures independently from fiber addition. TUF-STRAND SF is compatible with all other Euclid Chemical
admixtures. When used properly, and placed in a concrete mix of sufficient workability, the fibers will not adversely alter
the compressive or flexural strength of concrete or shotcrete.

Directions for Use
The contractor and engineer are encouraged to consult and review the Euclid Chemical bulletin “Dry Shake
Floor Hardeners - Application Instructions”. The document offers instructions detailing the general installation
of Euclid Chemical manufactured dry shake floor hardeners. Note: If the contractor is not familiar with the standard
application techniques of a dry shake floor hardener, a pre-job meeting is suggested to review the project concrete mix design as
well as placement and curing details unique to the particular job. Contact your local Euclid Chemical Company representative for
additional information.
Armored Joints- DIAMOND-PLATE LIGHT REFLECTIVE may also be used as a mortar in constructing armored
floor joints.
Application Tips: Colored (pigmented) dry shakes require special attention for a uniform color. Care should be
taken with regard to the following; delay application of the shake as long as possible to get the maximum color
saturation at the surface of the slab, apply the shake as evenly as possible and in two applications for maximum
uniformity, do not burnish trowel the floor. Best appearance is achieved by hand trowelling the final finish.
Curing and Sealing After finishing operations are complete and the surface will not be marred by foot traffic,
apply a Euclid Chemical curing compound or cure and seal according to product instructions. To produce an
exceptionally durable and dustproof surface, cure with a dissipating or removable curing compound such as
KUREZ DR VOX or KUREZ RC, then seal with EUCO DIAMOND HARD or ULTRASIL Li+.
Clean-up
Clean tools and equipment with soap and water before material hardens.
• Proper curing and sealing is required.
• Curing with a sheet membrane (poly or burlene) is acceptable, however potential mottling problems may
occur.
• Sufficient labor is required to produce consistent results on large placements.
• Important: Air-entraining admixtures may complicate finishing operations and cause blistering. Contact The
Euclid Chemical Company if applied over air entrained concrete with more than 3% total air content.
• Do not burnish trowel light reflective surface hardeners.
• Not recommended for floors subjected to acids or other corrosive chemicals that may attack a cement based
material.

Master Format #:
Directions for Use
Surface Preparation: The surface must be structurally sound, clean and free of dirt, oil and other contaminants including
07 16 16
curing compounds, form release agents, old coatings, paint and efflorescence. New concrete and masonry must be cured
a minimum of 7 days. All concrete laitance must also be removed. Provide an absorptive surface on all substrates including
precast and formed concrete. The surface must have an open pore appearance for proper adhesion. Remove form marks
and other protrusions. Concrete honeycombs, cavities, joints, cracks, voids, tie holes and other defects must be opened and
routed to a 3/4” depth or to sound material. No active water leaks should be present at the time of application of VANDEX BB
75. Use SPEED PLUG, VANDEX PLUG, or VANDEX SUPER mixed with VANDEX QUICKBINDER to stop all active leaks. Any
surface defects need to be addressed with the application of VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR. Once prepared, the substrate
needs to soaked with water to a saturated, surface-dry (SSD) condition just prior to the application of the material.

151
Mixing: Mix the entire of bag of VANDEX BB 75 with 1.3 - 1.5 gal of clean water for brush or trowel applications. For spray
applications, mix the entire bag with 1.5 - 1.65 gal of clean water. In either case, mix the material for at least 3 minutes with
a drill and mixing paddle.
Application: Brush or trowel: After the substrate has been prepared as described above, apply VANDEX BB 75 from the
bottom-up and work well into the substrate. Ensure that all cavities on the surface are filled. If a second layer is required
it must be applied while the first coat is still “green”. The time between applications is 2 to 4 hours, depending on local
conditions. Take care not to damage the first coat while applying the second coat. If a trowel is used to apply the material,
use a mason’s brush to texture the first coat prior to the application of the second coat for maximum adhesion.
Spray: VANDEX BB 75 may be applied using appropriate spray equipment with compressed air (i.e. hoppergun). For spray
equipment, the recommended air pressure is approx. 73 psi with a delivery rate of 18 ft3/minute, using a 1/4” nozzle diameter.
The first layer of VANDEX BB 75 is applied using a circular motion with nozzle at a 90o angle to the substrate. A trowel or
brush is then used to work the material into the substrate. If needed, spray apply a second coat while the first coat is still
“green” and can support the second coat. Time between coats is typically 2 to 4 hours, depending on local conditions. The
second layer can be trowelled flat or left textured.
Curing and protection: VANDEX BB 75 is cement based and will cure in the same fashion as ordinary concrete. For
maximum effectiveness, it is essential that the material be wet cured for a minimum of 5 days. Once VANDEX BB 75 has
hardened sufficiently, standard wet curing processes such as wet or fog spraying, or covering with polyethylene sheeting,
wet burlap or burlene. VANDEX BB 75 must be protected from rain during the first 24 hours and be protected from frost for
at least 5 days. Use insulation blankets if necessary. Backfilling can occur 3 days after placement. VANDEX BB 75 treated
surfaces need to be protected from gouging and scratching during the backfill process using protective mats or boards.
Application of topical treatments: Prior to the application of aesthetic coatings over top of VANDEX BB 75 treated surfaces,
the material needs to be cured for 28 days. If a plaster or stucco finish is to be used, apply a compatible bonding agent to
the VANDEX BB 75 surface.
Filling of water retaining structures: Filling of VANDEX BB 75 treated structures can occur once the material has had
sufficient time to cure. Typically, 14 days would be required prior to filling. If the project is “fast-tracked” and the structure
needs filled sooner, the material needs to be checked for sufficient hardness no sooner than 7 days after placement.
Clean-Up
Clean mixing and application equipment with water immediately after use. Clean splatter or spills with water before material
sets. If allowed to dry on the surface, removal becomes extremely difficult.
• Do not apply to frozen or frost filled surfaces or when temperature is below or expected to fall below 40°F within 48 hours.
• Protect treated surfaces from frost for 5 days.
• Do not fill open cisterns, tanks, pools, etc. with water for at least 7 days. Inspect for hardness prior to filling.
• Allow minimum 3 days drying time before backfilling. Use protection boards to prevent gouging.
• Allow 28 days cure before the application of coatings and cementitious treatments.
• Protect treated surfaces for 24 hours from rain.
• Apply a test patch to evaluate performance and appearance on concrete or block substrates which have been subjected
to contamination, efflorescence or chemical attack.

Spray: VANDEX CEMELAST may be applied using appropriate spray equipment with compressed air (i.e. hoppergun). For
spray equipment, the recommended air pressure is approx. 73 psi with a delivery rate of 18 ft3/minute, using a 1/4” nozzle
diameter. The first layer of VANDEX CEMELAST is applied using a circular motion with nozzle at a 90o angle to the substrate.
A trowel or brush is then used to work the material into the substrate. If needed, spray apply a second coat while the first coat
is still “green” and can support the second coat. Time between coats is typically 2 to 4 hours, depending on local conditions.
The second layer can be trowelled flat or left textured.
Curing and protection: VANDEX CEMELAST requires no curing procedures due to the enhancement from the VANDEX
CEMELAST LIQUID. Take caution to shield the freshly placed material from extreme temperatures and wind. VANDEX
CEMELAST must be protected from rain during the first 24 hours and be protected from frost for at least 5 days. Use
insulation blankets if necessary. Backfilling can occur 3 days after placement. VANDEX CEMELAST treated surfaces need to
be protected from gouging and scratching during the backfill process using protective mats or boards.
Application of topical treatments: Prior to the application of aesthetic coatings over top of VANDEX CEMELAST treated
surfaces, the material needs to be cured for 28 days. If a plaster or stucco finish is to be used, apply a compatible bonding
agent to the VANDEX CEMELAST surface.
Filling of water retaining structures: Filling of VANDEX CEMELAST treated structures can occur once the material has had

a minimum of 7 days. All concrete laitance must also be removed. Mechanically prepare the concrete to a CSP 3-5 in
accordance with ICRI Guideline 310.2. Concrete honeycombs, cavities, joints, cracks, voids, tie holes and other defects
must be opened and routed to a 3/4” depth or to sound material. No active water leaks should be present at the time of
application of VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR. Use SPEED PLUG, VANDEX PLUG, or VANDEX SUPER mixed with VANDEX
QUICKBINDER to stop all active leaks. Once prepared, the substrate needs to soaked with water to a saturated, surface-dry
(SSD) condition just prior to the application of the material.

155
Mixing: Mix the entire of bag of VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR with .8 to 1 gal of clean water for at least 3 minutes with a drill
and mortar mixing paddle. For single bags, add the correct amount of water to a clean pail. Slowly mix in the contents of the
bag. For multiple bag batches, use a horizontal shaft mortar mixer.
Application: After the substrate has been prepared as described above and the surface is in SSD condition, use a brush
and apply a scrub coat of the mixed VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR onto the substrate. Ensure that all cavities on the surface
are filled. Don’t apply the scrub coat too far ahead of where the repair is being made. The scrub coat must be covered by
the initial lift before it dries out or it will become a bond breaker. Once the scrub coat has been applied, apply the first lift of
mortar. The minimum thickness per lift is 1/4”, while the maximum is 1/2”. If additional lifts are to be applied, wait approx.
2-4 hours for the last lift applied to tighten up. Using the side of a trowel or a brush, score or texture the visible layer to give
the additional layers a mechanical bond as well as a chemical bond. For small areas such as coves & fillets, VANDEX UNI
MORTAR 1 ZSR can be applied up to 1 1/4” x 1 1/4” to create a smooth transition.
Spray: VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR may be applied using appropriate spray equipment with compressed air. For spray
equipment, the recommended air pressure is approx. 73 psi with a delivery rate of 18 ft3/minute, using a 3/8” nozzle diameter.
The first layer of VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR is applied using a circular motion with nozzle at a 90o angle to the substrate.
Use a trowel or brush to texture the top lift if additional material will be applied. If needed, spray apply additional lifts while
the exposed layer is still “green” and can support the additional lift. Time between lifts is typically 2 to 4 hours, depending
on local conditions.
Curing and protection: VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR is cement based and will cure in the same fashion as ordinary
concrete. For maximum effectiveness, it is essential that the material be wet cured for a minimum of 5 days. Once VANDEX
UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR has hardened sufficiently, standard wet curing processes such as wet or fog spraying, or covering with
polyethylene sheeting, wet burlap or burlene if a topical treatment is to be applied. If VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR is going
to be the final finish a water based curing compound should be applied. The mortar must be protected from rain during the
first 24 hours and be protected from frost for at least 5 days. Use insulation blankets if necessary. Backfilling can occur 3
days after placement.
Application of topical treatments: Prior to the application of waterproofing or aesthetic coatings over top of VANDEX UNI
MORTAR 1 ZSR repairs, the material needs to be cured for 28 days.
Filling of water retaining structures: Per standard water industry practices, filling of VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR repaired
structures can occur once the material has had sufficient time to cure. This is usually after 14 days, but if the project is fast
tracked and requires quicker filling, consideration may be given after 7 days, but the material needs checked for sufficient
hardness.
Clean-Up
Clean mixing and application equipment with water immediately after use. If allowed to dry on the surface, removal becomes
extremely difficult.
• Condition all materials to room temperature at least 24 hours prior to use.
• Protect repairs from frost for 5 days.
• Allow minimum 3 days cure time before backfilling. Use caution when backfilling early to prevent damage.
• Protect repaired substrates for 24 hours from rain.
• Apply a test patch to evaluate performance on concrete or block substrates which have been subjected to contamination,
efflorescence or chemical attack.

Vandex Super/Super White
NSF Approved Crystalline Waterproofing
Description
VANDEX SUPER and VANDEX SUPER WHITE are of similar nature. VANDEX SUPER is based on gray cement and is concrete
gray in color, whereas VANDEX SUPER WHITE utilizes white cement as the binder and is white in color. The remainder of
this document will reference both products as VANDEX SUPER, unless noted. VANDEX SUPER becomes an integral part
of the concrete substrate once applied and waterproofs the negative or positive side through a crystallization process. The
crystals created block the capillaries and minor shrinkage cracks within the concrete to prevent any further water ingress. In
addition to waterproofing, VANDEX SUPER protects concrete substrates against saltwater, wastewater, harsh ground water
and certain chemical solutions. VANDEX SUPER (gray) is ANSI/NSF approved for use with potable water.

precast and formed concrete. The surface must have an open capillary system for adhesion and for optimum crystalline
growth. Remove form marks and other protrusions. Concrete honeycombs, cavities, joints, cracks, voids, tie holes and other
defects must be opened and routed to sound material. No active water leaks should be present at the time of application
of VANDEX SUPER. Use SPEED PLUG, VANDEX PLUG, or VANDEX SUPER mixed with VANDEX QUICKBINDER to stop
all active leaks. Any surface defects need to be addressed with the application of VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR. Once
prepared, the substrate needs to soaked with water to a saturated, surface-dry (SSD) condition just prior to the application
of the material.

157
Mixing: Approximate mixing ratio is 2 parts clean, potable water to 5 parts of VANDEX SUPER powder by volume. Alternately,
mix the entire 50 lb. bag or pail with 1.75 to 2.0 gal of water. DO NOT MIX any more material than can be used within 20
minutes. Agitate the mixture frequently to restore workability.
Application: Brush: Apply VANDEX SUPER to properly prepared concrete and masonry substrates with a masonry brush.
Spread the material across the SSD surface and work into the surface at the specified coverage rate. If a second coat is
required, apply the second coat while the coat is still “green” and can support the second coat being scrubbed over top of
it. The setting time of VANDEX SUPER (gray) is 60 minutes, while the setting time of VANDEX SUPER WHITE is approx. 150
minutes. Set times were determined under laboratory conditions at 72oF.
Spray: VANDEX SUPER may be applied using appropriate spray equipment with compressed air (i.e. hoppergun). For spray
equipment, the recommended air pressure is approx. 73 psi with a delivery rate of 18 ft3/minute. If needed, spray apply a
second coat while the first coat is still “green” and can support the second coat.
New concrete slabs: Place and screed concrete as usual. Once the concrete has reached initial set and the bleed water
has disappeared, use a power trowel with float shoes to open the surface of the concrete. Broadcast VANDEX SUPER over
the surface at the specified amount with a mesh sieve or other mechanical means. The material must then be worked into
the surface with float shoes prior to the start of final finishing procedures.
Split slab construction: Once the base slab has been placed (min. 4”), apply VANDEX SUPER at the specified rate with a
mesh sieve. Proceed to placing the topping slab as to not displace any of the material on the base slab.
Construction joints: Just prior to the placement of the adjoining slab, apply the specified amount of VANDEX SUPER slurry
to the prepared, exposed side of the slab in place. Take care in not displacing the material as the adjacent slab is placed.
Curing and protection: VANDEX SUPER is cement based and will cure in the same fashion as ordinary concrete. For
maximum effectiveness, it is essential that the material be wet cured for a minimum of 5 days. Once VANDEX SUPER has
hardened sufficiently, standard wet curing processes such as wet or fog spraying, or covering with polyethylene sheeting,
wet burlap or burlene. VANDEX SUPER must be protected from rain during the first 24 hours and be protected from frost for
at least 5 days. Use insulation blankets if necessary. Backfilling can occur 3 days after placement. VANDEX SUPER treated
surfaces need to be protected from gouging and scratching during the backfill process.
Application of topical treatments: Prior to the application of aesthetic coatings over top of VANDEX SUPER treated surfaces,
the material needs to be cured and neutralized. Allow 28 days for the VANDEX SUPER to fully cure. After that time, soak
the treated surface with water and apply a diluted solution of hydrochloric (muriatic) acid (1:8). Thoroughly rinse with clean
water immediately after the application. DO NOT ALLOW the diluted acid solution to dry on the material. Use all necessary
protective means (gloves, goggles, respirators and clothing) when working with the diluted acid solution.
Filling of water retaining structures: Filling of VANDEX SUPER treated structures can occur once the material has had

Directions for Use
FLEXTAPE SYSTEM. Use SPEED PLUG, VANDEX PLUG, or VANDEX SUPER mixed with VANDEX QUICKBINDER to stop all
active leaks. Any surface defects need to be addressed with the application of VANDEX UNI MORTAR 1 ZSR. At the time of
application, the substrate must not exceed 4% (content by weight) moisture.
Mixing: Pre-mix the “A” and “B” components of the VANDEX FLEXTAPE EPOXY ADHESIVE. Place the “A” component into a
clean mixing vessel and slowly add the “B” component. Mix for at least 3 minutes, until a uniform color is reached.
Application: Apply the properly mixed epoxy adhesive as an initial coating to both sides of the joint or crack with a straight
edged or notched trowel. Don’t apply the epoxy right up to the edge of the crack or joint. Leave the epoxy recessed slightly
so that when the sealing tape is pressed into the epoxy, it doesn’t get displaced into the joint or crack. The thickness of
the VANDEX FLEXTAPE EPOXY ADHESIVE depends on the texture of the substrate. That standard thickness is 1 to 2mm.
Immediately after the epoxy adhesive is applied, press the VANDEX FLEXTAPE firmly into the epoxy. Any entrapped air
bubbles must be removed with a small roller. Where the anticipated joint movement exceeds the performance characteristics
of the material, the tape can be applied with a bellows configuration to the increase the movement capabilities of the system.
Immediately after placing the tape, apply a second application of the epoxy adhesive over the top of the ends of the VANDEX
FLEXTAPE. Don’t apply the epoxy adhesive directly over the tape where it spans the joint or crack, as this is the area where
the expansion and contraction will occur. In areas where the VANDEX FLEXTAPE SYSTEM is to be used for negative side
waterproofing, a counterpressure device, such as a field fabricated brace, must be used. If the sealed joint or crack area is
going to have a coating system applied over it, broadcast oven dried silica sand to refusal over the wet epoxy. Once dry,
remove any excess sand prior to the installation of the coating.
For applications where chemical attack isn’t a concern, VANDEX UNIFLEX NV polymer adhesive can be used to adhere
the FLEXTAPE materials to the concrete substrate. Please refer to the technical data sheet for VANDEX UNIFLEX NV for
application instructions.
For lap splices, overlap the tape at least 1 1/2”. The tape must be thermally welded together with hot air. The temperature of
the hot air for the 1mm thick tapes must be around 465oF and the temperature for the 2mm tape must be around 645oF. Use
a roller to smooth out the splice as it is being heated. For internal and external corners, cut the material half way up so that it
will easily bend around the corner. Cut out enough of the sealing tape from a scrap piece to make the necessary 1 1/2” lap
in all transition areas. It is recommended to dry fit all corner transitions prior to applying the epoxy adhesive.
Curing and protection: VANDEX FLEXTAPE EPOXY ADHESIVE requires no curing procedures. Epoxy adhesives are
self-curing and their cure time is dependent on the temperature. Protect the tape against any possible damage during the
remainder of any additional construction.
Clean-Up
Clean mixing and application equipment with a solvent such as acetone immediately after the application. Use personal
protection such as the appropriate gloves, goggles and respirators when working with epoxies and solvents. Cured epoxy
is very difficult to remove and will require mechanical means to do so.
• Protect the tape from damage during construction.
• Use personal protection when using epoxies and solvents.
• VANDEX FLEXTAPE SYSTEM must be protected against heat exposure in excess of 155oF.

water to be mixed with EUCO-SPEED MP is critical. Add between 0.4 to 0.5 gal (1.5 to 1.9 L) of water per
50 lb (22.7 kg) unit. Mix material for about 2 minutes. The mixed material should be quickly transported to the
repair area and placed immediately. For patches greater than 1” (25 mm) in depth, pea gravel must be used.
Add the pea gravel (up to 30 lb (13.6 kg)) after the neat material has mixed, mix for 1 additional minute. In hot
weather, greater than 85oF (29oC), the use of EUCO-SPEED MP HOT WEATHER is recommended. For large
placements, regardless of the temperature, EUCO-SPEED MP HOT WEATHER is recommended along with the
use of cold water to extend setting time.
Placement: EUCO-SPEED MP requires a minimum depth of 1/2” (13 mm). Spread with a trowel, screed, come-
a-long or square tipped shovel to a thickness that matches the surrounding concrete. EUCO-SPEED MP sets
quickly; the time available for placement and finishing will be very limited.
Finishing: Finish EUCO-SPEED MP to the desired float or broom finish texture. Do not add additional water to
the surface during the finishing operation.
Curing and Sealing: EUCO-SPEED MP is self-curing; no curing is need of this product.
Clean-Up
• DUE TO THE CHEMICAL NATURE OF EUCO-SPEED MP, DO NOT LET IT COME IN CONTACT WITH
GALVANIZED STEEL.
• Do not overwater.
• As EUCO-SPEED MP cures, a chemical reaction generates excessive heat. Mixed material must be maintained
at or below 180oF (82oC) if satisfactory results are to be expected.
• Although EUCO-SPEED MP may be used down to 0°F (-17°C), the material must be stored at a room
temperature of 60o-70°F (16o-21°C) for at least 24 hours prior to use.
• Do not add sand or cement.
• Do not place EUCO-SPEED MP over an ice covered substrate.
• When mixing in an enclosed area, provide adequate ventilation.
• Do not featheredge.
• For repairs deeper than 1” (25 mm), pea gravel must be used to extend the product.
• No heavy traffic until the product has reached a minimum of 2,000 psi (13.8 MPa).
• Do not place over carbonated concrete. All carbonation must be removed to assure a good bond.

CONCRETE BLASTER
High Performance Equipment Cleaner
Description
CONCRETE BLASTER is a patented liquid with the ability to remove hardened, built-up concrete from tools
and equipment. It is designed to eliminate the need for sand blasting, bushhammering and jack-hammering
hardened concrete from equipment.
• Ready mix trucks • Floats
• Transport buggies • Concrete forms
• Trowels • Precast forms
• Troweling machines • Concrete and mortar mixers
• Screeds • Other concrete placing equipment
Features/Benefits
• Ready to use - no mixing required
• Biodegradable - used material need not be recycled
• Reduces the related costs of sand blasting and chip-hammering
• Reduces labor costs and equipment damage normally associated with removing built-up, hardened concrete
Appearance: CONCRETE BLASTER is a clear liquid with a slight amber cast. When applied to concrete the product
CONCRETE BLASTER
will foam slightly. CONCRETE BLASTER will not affect the appearance of typical equipment used in the concrete
industry.
Packaging
CONCRETE BLASTER is packaged in 275 gal (1041 L) totes, 55 gal (208 L) drums, and 5 gal (18.9 L) pails.
Shelf Life
• Biological Oxygen Demand (B.O.D.) Test - F factor (0.28): Biodegradable
• Regulation by D.O.T. and I.M.O.: Non-Regulated
Coverage
Approximately 3 gal (11.4 L) of CONCRETE BLASTER will be required to clean the typical rear exterior of a ready
mix truck. This assumes an average depth of built-up concrete of 1/2” (13 mm).
Master Format #:
Directions for Use 03 01 30.51
Surface Preparation: CONCRETE BLASTER works best when applied to dry concrete.
Mixing: CONCRETE BLASTER is packaged ready to use. No pre-mixing is required. Do not dilute.
Application: To remove hardened concrete, apply CONCRETE BLASTER directly to the area to be cleaned
with a brush or pump-up type sprayer. THE CONCRETE SURFACE MUST BE THOROUGHLY SATURATED.
Allow CONCRETE BLASTER to remain on the concrete until the cement matrix becomes soft to the touch. The
minimum recommended time is 20 minutes but treated concrete may be left to react overnight. The product will
continue to attack the cement matrix even after the foaming action has subsided.

167
After the concrete has softened, re-apply CONCRETE BLASTER and allow to remain on the surface for
approximately 10 minutes. Remove concrete with a scraper. If additional concrete remains, subsequent
applications may be necessary. The final application may be removed by power washing. Concrete buildup
of 1/4” (6 mm) or more will require multiple applications. If treated concrete will set overnight, apply additional
CONCRETE BLASTER the next morning to re-soften the concrete. Leave the fresh application on 10 to 15
minutes. Then, remove softened concrete as stated above.
Regular maintenance: CONCRETE BLASTER may be used on a regular basis to remove concrete build-up.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and equipment with soap and water.
• Though CONCRETE BLASTER is a relatively safe product to use, always wear protective clothing (rubber
gloves, eye protection, etc.).
• Do not dilute or effectiveness will be greatly diminished.
• CONCRETE BLASTER contains a mild organic acid which may oxidize certain metals if left in contact for long
periods of time. After the concrete residue has softened, complete the removal and thoroughly flush the area
with clean water.
• Concrete surface must be dry.
• Do not allow this product to freeze.
• The effectiveness of CONCRETE BLASTER is reduced in cold weather.
• Protect concrete floors or driveways from spillage.
• A small area should be tested to ensure against staining of paint finishes.

DEHYDRATINE 75
EMULSIFIED ASPHALT DAMPROOFING COMPOUND
Description
DEHYDRATINE 75 is a VOC compliant, water-based compound designed to dampproof concrete and masonry.
The DEHYDRATINE formulation is derived from mineral colloid, asphalt-based clay emulsions, which utilize a
water carrier. It can be used above and below grade. DEHYDRATINE 75 is highly effective and is easily applied
by trowel or spray.
Features/Benefits
DEHYDRATINE 75 is an effective dampproofing product on roofing materials such as fiber glass fabric and
metal (see Roofing under Application Techniques). DEHYDRATINE 75 can be used over most metals to protect
against rust and corrosion. It has good weathering and abrasion resistance. It resists flow or sag even when
exposed to high ambient temperatures. Other advantages include:
• Solvent free
• Environmentally safe
• Adheres tenaciously to damp or “green” surfaces
• Breathes to allow water vapor to escape and reduce blistering
• Flexible and will not crack as a result of normal contraction & expansion
• Asbestos free
ASTM D 1227 Type III Appearance: DEHYDRATINE 75 is black.

Directions
Directions for
for Use
Use
Surface Preparation: Surface must be structurally sound, clean, free of dust, dirt, mortar, residue curing and
parting compounds, and other contaminants. Use of wire brushes, sandblasting or other mechanical means is
recommended. Prior to application, surface defects, voids, joints or cracks must be properly sealed or filled. Dry
surfaces should be dampened with water and kept damp before application.

169
Mixing: DEHYDRATINE 75 does not normally require mixing.
Application: Apply by soft bristle brush or suitable spray equipment at a rate of not more than 33 ft²/gal (.81
m²/L) in a single coat. When two coats are applied especially in hot weather when it may be difficult to keep the
surface damp, the first coat may be diluted with up to 10% of clean, cool water. The first coat should be dry to
the point where it is tacky to the touch before the second coat is applied.
ackfilling: Do not backfill until the film has dried (at least 24 to 48 hours after application). Backfilling should
B
be accomplished as soon as possible (after 24 to 48 hours) to protect the film from damage by outside sources.
Place backfill with care so that the film will not be ruptured.
Spraying: Use an air operated piston pump (such as Graco) with a 9:1 ratio and a pole gun with a 3/32" (0.2
cm) tip. A 3/4" (1.9 cm) ID material hose and a 1/2" (1.3 cm) ID air hose from the pump to the gun is preferred
for most applications.
oofing: DEHYDRATINE 75 can be used with fiberglass fabric for built-up waterproofing and roofing applications.
R
DEHYDRATINE 75 has excellent rust inhibiting qualities and can be applied as a coating over metal roofs. It has
good weathering properties and resistance to corrosive fumes and smoke.
Clean-Up
Clean tools or equipment with mineral spirits immediately following use. Clean drips while still wet.
DEHYDRATINE 75 will not harm glass or metal by etching, pitting, or staining; however, it will leave a residue
which is easily removed with a clean cloth and petroleum based paint thinner. Stronger solvents may be required
to remove the residue if allowed to remain on the surface. Once final set has occurred, DEHYDRATINE 75 may
be impossible to remove from surfaces. Flush rubber surfaces with water immediately following contact with
DEHYDRATINE 75.
• Do not apply DEHYDRATINE 75 to surfaces that are to receive a concrete overlay or topping, or be sealed with
another type of sealer.
• Mask or protect the sides of joints that are to receive DEHYDRATINE 75.
• Applications of Dehydratine 75 at higher coverage rates than recommended above may result in improper
drying.
• Do not allow to freeze.

Type of Cements
Type I Portland cement- General purpose cement suitable for all uses where the special
properties of other types of cements are not required. Its uses include pavements,
floors, reinforced concrete buildings, tanks, reservoirs, pipes, masonry units, and
precast concrete products.
Type II Portland cement- Where structures will be exposed to elements exposed to

soil or ground waters where sulfate concentrations are higher than normal but not
unusually severe. Type II cement in concrete must be accompanied by the use of low
water to cementitious ratio and low permeability to control sulfate attack. Because of
the high degree of availability, the use of Type II cement is used in all types of
construction, regardless of the need for sulfate resistance or moderate heat generation.
Cements labeled Type I/II simply means that such cement meets the requirements of
both Type I and Type II.
Type III Portland cement- Type III cement provides strength at an early period, usually
a week or less. It is chemically similar to Type I cement except the particles have been
ground finer. Type III cement is used in cooler weather and where high early strengths
are desired.
Type IV Portland cement- Type IV cement is used where the rate and amount of heat
generated from hydration must be minimized. Strength development is slower than
other types of cement and is intended for use in massive structures such as gravity
dams. Type IV cement is rarely available.
Type V Portland cement- Type V cement is used in concrete exposed to severe sulfate
action-principally where soils or ground waters have high sulfate content. Type V
cement will gain strengths more slowly than Type I cements. To resist sulfate attack,
use Type V cement and a low water to cementitious ratio.
Type IA, IIA, and IIIA Portland cements- These cements correspond with Types I,
II, and III and have small quantities of air-entraining materials. These cements produce
concrete with improved resistance to freeze-thaw stresses. Air-entraining cements are
available in limited areas.
White Portland Cement- This Portland cement differs from grey cement chiefly in
color. White cement is used primarily for architectural purposes in structural walls,
precast and glass reinforced concrete (GFRC) facing panels, terrazzo surfaces, stucco,
cement paint, tile grout and decorative concrete.
Blended Hydraulic Cements
Type IS - Type IS is a portland blast-furnace slag cement that may be used in general
construction. The slag content is between 25-70% by mass. There are different types
with different characteristics such as A, MS, or MH.
Type IP and Type P - Type IP and Type P cements may be used for general construction
where early strengths are not required. These cements are manufactured by inter-
grinding portland cement clinker with a suitable pozzolan, by blending portland cement
or portland blast-furnace slag cement and a pozzolan, or by a combination of inter-
grinding and blending. The pozzolan content of these cements is between 15-40% by
mass.
Type I (PM) - Pozzolan modified portland cement is used in general concrete

construction. This cement is manufactured by combining portland cement, or portland
blast-furnace slag cement and a fine pozzolan. The pozzolan content is less than 15%
by mass.
Type S - Slag cement is used with portland cement to make concrete with lime for
mortar, but is not used alone in structural concrete. The minimum slag content is 70%
by mass.
Magnesium Phosphate cement - Magnesium phosphate cement is a rapid-setting,

early strength gain cement. It is usually used for special applications, such as repair
of pavements and concrete structures, or for resistance to certain aggressive chemicals.
It does not contain portland cement.

Cold Weather Concreting Tips
The use of accelerating admixtures has extended the construction season through the
winter in North America. Specific precautions and curing methods are recommended
by The Euclid Chemical Company to ensure years of durability from your concrete.
Euclid Chemical offers the industry several chloride and non-chloride accelerators and
a freeze-resistant accelerator that will keep your construction project on schedule even
in 20°F (-6.7°C) temperatures.
Concrete will gain very little strength in cooler weather. If concrete freezes before
reaching 500 psi (3.5 Mpa), the hardened properties will be compromised. Concrete can
lose up to 50% of its potential strength if precautions are not taken to ensure cement
hydration continues.
The use of Type III portland cement will reduce the time required for the concrete to
reach initial set 500 psi (3.5 Mpa). Using Type III cement with an accelerating admixture
is a recommended but not necessary practice in cooler temperatures. Depending on the
project requirements, choose a calcium chloride or non-chloride accelerator. Non-chloride
accelerators are recommended for concrete that will come in contact with steel.
1. Always attend a pre-job conference and discuss the plan of action for cold weather
concreting. Include a local Euclid Chemical sales professional for technical
expertise.
2. In cooler weather, it is not recommended to use fly ash as a cement replacement.
Higher cement contents will be required to help generate the heat necessary for
concrete to cure. If the concrete temperature drops to 40°F (4.4°C), hydration
virtually stops.
3. Use warm water and heat your aggregates to get the concrete temperature as high
as you can. This will help the concrete reach initial set and expedite the finishing
process.
4. Protect the concrete from plastic shrinkage cracking with enclosures and
polypropylene fibers. If there are extremely windy conditions, protect the surface
from drying too quick and block the wind. Accelerators tend to “occupy” the
water in concrete and reduce bleed. If the bleed water does not keep up with
evaporation, tensile stresses on the surface of concrete will create plastic shrinkage
cracking. Fibers will minimize the plastic shrinkage cracking by up to 88%.
5. Discuss curing requirements with your local Euclid Chemical sales professional.
The use of heating blankets is highly recommended. Any heater burning a fossil
fuel will produce carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide combines with calcium
hydroxide on the surface of fresh concrete, it will interfere with cement hydration
causing carbonation.
6. It is not recommended to pour concrete if temperatures drop below 20°F (-6.7°C)
for a significant period of time.
Hot Weather Concreting Tips
Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can cause serious problems with the strength
development and durability of concrete. Understanding how concrete reacts to extreme
weather conditions and how to combat nature will enable concrete producers to ensure
durable, high quality product for their customers.
The Euclid Chemical Company recommends keeping concrete temperatures below 90°F
(32°C) to prevent problems associated with hot weather. Keeping your aggregate piles
and water as cool as possible is the easiest way to lower concrete temperatures. The
following suggestions will help make your hot weather concreting successful:
1. Discuss hot weather concreting procedures during the preconstruction conference.
2. Contact your local Euclid Chemical sales professional for appropriate hot weather
admixtures such as retarders, ASTM Type B & D water reducers, and
superplasticizers such as Eucon 37, Eucon SP, Eucon RD1, Eucon RD2, or Eucon
537.
3. Expedite the discharge of concrete by providing sufficient slump through the use
of admixtures. Remember, adding water will compromise the strength and
durability by lowering the hardened properties of the concrete.
4. Use polypropylene fibers to control plastic shrinkage cracking. This will prevent
surface cracking during windy, hot conditions.
5. Never use water on the surface of the concrete to aid in finishing. The Euclid
Chemical Company offers Eucobar, evaporation retardant and finishing aid. Using
water to aid in finishing will increase the water to cement ratio on the surface of
concrete, which will lower compressive strengths and could cause dusting.
6. If needed, pour concrete during cooler weather, such as nighttime.
7. Use a curing agent manufactured by The Euclid Chemical Company, which meets
ASTM C-309. Discuss curing options with a Euclid sales professional.
