EVA-CON

Evapora on control compound for concrete

Description
Technical Properties:
EVA-CON is a concentrated, water based polymer liquid
Colour: Pinkish
which controls the evapora on rate from fresh concrete.
EVA-CON forms a thin con nuous monomolecular Specific gravity: 1
film when applied to fresh concrete surfaces, which
temporarily reduces rapid moisture loss from the

EVA-CON is available in 25 litre pails and 200 litre drums.
Applications
Coverage
EVA-CON is used mainly for fresh concrete to retain
sufficient moisture and control the evapora on rate so
