Surface Enhancement & Finishing - Sika® Film

Finishing Aid & Evaporation Control

Sika® Film retards moisture evaporation from the concrete surface and acts as a finishing aid for concrete flatwork.

• Sika® Film eliminates the need to add water to low slump concrete, or sprinkle water on the concrete surface to aid in finishing.
• When applied to fresh concrete Sika® Film is an excellent finishing aid for extra smooth and durable concrete floors.
• Prevents plastic shrinkage cracking caused by evaporation in low humidity conditions such as heat and high winds.
• Aids in finishing concrete that produces little or no bleed water, such as microsilica mixes or mixes with air entrainment.

Usage

Sika® Film is recommended for use in all applications where a superior finish is required on concrete flatwork. Sika® Film protects concrete from the effects of excessive moisture loss in rapid drying conditions.
