Optimize Moisture Retention for Stronger Concrete
W.R. Meadows 1100 is a water-based, resin-based curing compound designed to retain moisture in freshly placed concrete for proper hydration and curing.
The ready-to-use formula helps produce harder, denser concrete while reducing cracking, dusting, shrinkage, and other surface defects. Suitable for interior, exterior, horizontal, and vertical concrete.
- Temporary Curing Membrane: The membrane begins to break down after approximately four weeks when exposed to UV and eventually dissipates from the surface.
- Do Not Dilute: Product is ready to use. Do not mix or dilute with other products or liquids.
- Temperature: Do not apply when air or concrete temperatures are below 40°F. Keep from freezing.
- Future Coatings/Flooring: Before applying paint, flooring, adhesives, coatings, or toppings, the curing membrane must dissipate and/or be properly removed. Confirm compatibility with the manufacturer of the subsequent product.
-
Application: Over-application can increase dissipation time and may cause discoloration or yellowing.

FAQs
What is W.R. Meadows 1100 used for?
It is applied to freshly placed concrete to help retain moisture during curing, supporting proper cement hydration and helping produce harder, denser concrete.
How much does a 5-gallon pail cover?
Approximately 1,000 sq. ft. per 5-gallon pail, based on the manufacturer's approximate coverage of 200 sq. ft. per gallon. Actual coverage varies with surface texture, concrete condition, climate, and application.
How long does it take to dry?
Typically 1–2 hours depending on jobsite conditions. Foot traffic should be restricted for at least four hours; 12 hours is preferred.
Can flooring or coatings be applied afterward?
Yes, but only after the curing membrane has dissipated and/or been properly removed. Because coatings, flooring, adhesives, and toppings vary, W.R. Meadows recommends getting approval from the manufacturer of the subsequent product first.
