Curing is a set of actions that make the cement hydration action better. The most common way to do this is to coat the concrete surface with a thin layer. Curing prevents the evaporation of the concrete surface water and, over time, is removed from the concrete surface by atmospheric factors and has no adverse effect on the concrete life. It creates a transparent layer on the concrete that reflects the sun's light from the surface.
Necessity of application and benefits:
- Wastewater treatment for large surfaces
- Concrete operations against sun, wind, dry climate and hot and summer weather
- Production of precast concrete
- Creating a thin layer on concrete and reducing the rate of evaporation of concrete mixing water
- Increase durability, life and durability of concrete
- Reduce shrinkage and cracking effects and reduce drying shrinkage
- Full reflection of sunlight on the concrete surface and preventing its temperature rise
- Prevent scaling of concrete surface
- Maintain the moisture and heat needed to continue hydration
- Not having a negative impact on the surface and the concrete
- Not having a negative impact on the concrete color
- Construction of runways for airports and roads
- Implementation of concrete water channels and resources
- Positive effect on increasing final compressive strength of concrete after curing in hot air
