Curewell WB
Description
Curewell WB is a white pigmented membrane forming wax based curing compound, suitable for curing of newly placed or freshly de-shuttered concrete, assists in the retention of water during hydration. The resultant film retains sufficient moisture in the concrete to ensure full hydration of the cement, essential for optimum strength development. Membrane cured concrete is typically harder and exhibits a dust free surface with a reduced incidence of drying shrinkage cracks.
UsesAs a more effective and economical alternative to hessian and water and polythene curing regimes. Suitable for use on all large area concrete surfaces, such as airport runways, concrete roads and bridgeworks. It is not recommended for application when subsequent renders, toppings or coatings are to be applied within the degradation time unless it is removed by cleaning if insufficient time has elapsed to achieve full degradation.
