Dr. Plast 3114 (Curing Compound)

Product Overview

Curing compounds are applied to fresh concrete to retain moisture and ensure proper cement hydration. By preventing rapid moisture loss, they help reduce surface cracks and improve the strength and durability of the finished concrete.

Key Features

• Moisture Retention: Forms a protective membrane to prevent water evaporation
• Enhanced Strength: Ensures proper hydration for optimal strength development
• Crack Prevention: Reduces plastic shrinkage and surface cracking
• Easy Application: Can be sprayed or rolled onto concrete surfaces
• Time-Saving: Eliminates the need for continuous water curing
• Weather Protection: Shields concrete from adverse weather conditions

Applications

• Freshly placed concrete slabs and floors
• Pavements and roadways
• Bridge decks and parking structures
• Industrial floors and warehouses
• Precast concrete elements
• Hot and dry climate concreting
• Large area concrete surfaces
• Airport runways and taxiways

Technical Benefits

• Reduces water loss by up to 95%
• Improves 28-day concrete strength
• Minimizes dusting and surface defects
• Provides uniform curing across the surface
• Reduces labor costs compared to water curing
• Available in clear, pigmented, and fugitive types
• Quick-drying formulations available
• Complies with ASTM and other international standards

Application Guidelines

Apply curing compound as soon as the concrete surface has hardened sufficiently to prevent surface damage (typically 2-4 hours after finishing). The typical coverage rate is 4-6 m² per liter, depending on surface texture and porosity. Apply using a low-pressure sprayer or roller to ensure even coverage. For best results, apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat. Contact our technical team for specific application instructions and coverage rates for your project.
