curing compounds

Curing compounds are liquids applied to freshly poured concrete to form a thin, protective film that helps retain moisture. This moisture retention is essential for the concrete to hydrate properly, gaining strength and durability. Curing compounds reduce water evaporation from the surface, which can otherwise lead to cracks, uneven curing, and weaker concrete. They are typically sprayed or brushed onto the surface soon after finishing. Using curing compounds ensures the concrete cures evenly, ultimately resulting in a stronger, more durable finished product with a better surface quality.
