- Concure RB90 should only be re-circulated using a low
shear diaphragm pump.

- Concure RB90 should not be applied onto dry surfaces,

which may lead to absorption and staining which will be
difficult to remove at a later date.

Concure RB90 should not be disturbed until the concrete
has gained sufficient strength to bear surface loading.

- Concure RB90 is not an aesthetic coating. It should

therefore be removed from the concrete after 28 days.

- Concure RB90 once applied, changes its colour and turns

to yellow, brown or darker shades under the influence of
sunlight.
