Crystal Rez Curing Compound
Crystal Rez is a clear resin water-based emulsion concrete curing compound
CRYSTAL REZ is a clear, dissipating resin-based water emulsion curing compound designed for freshly finished horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces. This product offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional cure & seals, providing a clear, non-yellowing membrane which may also contribute to LEED credits.
- Dries to a clear membrane without unsightly yellow or amber residues
- Promotes effective curing, enhancing the concrete’s strength and wear resistance
- Reduces surface dusting
- Compatible with SpecChem Tilt-up Bondbreakers
- Prepares the substrate for subsequent application of paints, sealers, coatings, and floor covering adhesives once the curing membrane dissipates or is removed
Application
Thoroughly agitate before use. Use clean application equipment free from foreign materials. Preferred application method is by spray. Apply at temperatures above 40°F. Areas destined for caulking should be masked to avoid excess application. Do not allow the product to pond or puddle. Coverage rates may vary based on concrete texture and porosity:
- 100-500 sq. ft/gal immediately after final trowel or form stripping
- 250-350 sq. ft/gal for use as a casting bed cure in tilt-up operations
Packaging
Available in 5-gallon pails (18.9 L) and 55-gallon drums (208.2 L).
Shelf Life
Store in the original, tightly sealed container in a dry area for up to 1 year from the manufacture date. Avoid water accumulation, dirt, or other contaminants. Keep from freezing.
Standards
- Meets ASTM C309, Types 1 and 1D, Class A & B
- Complies with AASHTO M148, Type 1, Class A & B
- VOC content compliant for Concrete Curing Compounds at 98 g/l
Key Features
- Clear, non-yellowing curing membrane
- Water-based dissipating resin system
- Improves concrete hydration and strength
- Reduces surface dusting and crazing
- Compatible with tilt-up and flatwork applications
- Helps achieve uniform concrete curing
- LEED credit contributing product
- Easy spray application system

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Crystal Rez used for?
Crystal Rez is used to cure freshly placed concrete by forming a protective moisture-retaining membrane.
Does Crystal Rez turn yellow?
No. It dries clear and is designed to avoid yellow or amber discoloration.
Can Crystal Rez be used on vertical surfaces?
Yes. It is designed for both horizontal and vertical concrete applications.
Is Crystal Rez a sealer?
It is a curing compound, not a permanent sealer, and will dissipate over time.
How is Crystal Rez applied?
It is typically applied using a spray system immediately after final finishing.
Can Crystal Rez improve concrete strength?
Yes. Proper curing helps improve hydration, strength, and durability.
Does Crystal Rez meet ASTM standards?
Yes. It meets ASTM C309 and AASHTO M148 requirements.
How long does Crystal Rez last on concrete?
It typically dissipates in 4–6 weeks under normal exposure conditions.
Technical Data Sheet (TDS Summary)
