Water-Based Acrylic Concrete Curing Compound

Curecon A is a water-based acrylic concrete curing compound classified as Type 1, Class D. Designed for use on new concrete, it helps retain moisture during the curing period to support concrete strength development and long-term durability.

By reducing premature moisture loss from freshly placed concrete, Curecon A helps reduce the likelihood of surface cracking and dusting associated with inadequate curing. Its convenient liquid application provides an alternative to traditional water curing methods and polythene film.

Curecon A is certified to comply with Australian Standard AS 3799 and offers a low-odour formulation suitable for a range of concrete construction applications. It is also specified as compatible with most subsequent trades, subject to project requirements and the compatibility of later-applied finishes.

Key Features and Benefits

• Moisture retention: Helps retain moisture in new concrete throughout the curing period.

• Supports concrete durability: Promotes appropriate curing conditions for strength development and surface performance.

• Helps reduce surface cracking: Reduces the likelihood of cracking associated with premature moisture loss.

• Helps reduce dusting: Supports improved surface integrity when concrete is properly placed, finished and cured.

• Water-based acrylic formulation: Provides a convenient liquid curing solution.

• Easy application: Helps eliminate the need for traditional water curing or polythene film where the specified curing system is suitable.

• Low odour: Suitable for projects where low-odour materials are preferred.

• Trade compatibility: Compatible with most subsequent trades, subject to the requirements of the intended finish or treatment.

• Ventilation: The supplied product information states that no ventilation requirement applies.

• Australian Standard compliance: Certified to comply with AS 3799.

• Green Star specification support: Complies with the stated Green Star Office Design v3 IEQ-13 requirement.

Recommended Applications

Curecon A is designed for curing newly placed concrete in construction and concrete finishing applications.

Recommended uses include:

• Curing new concrete slabs.

• Concrete floors and pavement applications.

• Concrete surfaces requiring moisture retention during curing.

• Commercial and industrial concrete construction.

• Concrete construction projects where an alternative to water curing or polythene film is required.

• Projects where compliance with AS 3799 is specified.

• Applications where reduced surface cracking and dusting are important considerations.

Select the appropriate curing method according to the concrete mix, site conditions, subsequent finishing requirements and project specification.

Support Better Concrete Curing

Effective curing is an important part of achieving the intended performance of new concrete. Premature moisture loss can interfere with cement hydration and contribute to surface defects, including cracking and dusting.

Curecon A helps retain moisture during the curing period, supporting the development of concrete strength and durability. Its water-based acrylic formulation offers a practical alternative to conventional curing methods where a liquid-applied curing compound is appropriate.

For concrete that will receive subsequent coatings, adhesives, toppings or other finishes, confirm curing compound compatibility and any required removal or surface preparation before proceeding.
