Concrete Curing

Mastour ReadyMix provide end-to-end Ready mix concrete and cement products solutions

Curing maintains concrete moisture content and temperature, after placing and finishing have been completed, to obtain desired concrete properties. Curing methods such as ponding or immersion, spraying or fogging, and saturated wet coverings, maintain the presence of mixed water in the concrete during the early hardening period. Covering the concrete with impervious paper or plastic sheets, or by applying membrane forming curing compounds, prevent loss of mixing water from the concrete by sealing the surface. Live steam, heating coils, or electrically heated forms or pads, accelerate strength gain by supplying heat and additional moisture to the concrete.
