Avoid concrete issues on site with curing compounds that slow down the evaporation of moisture from freshly poured concrete. Water loss in concrete can result in shrinkage stresses and potential cracking.  Curing protects the concrete from these factors until it reaches adequate strength.  

Environmental factors cause water loss in concrete: 

• Extremes of temperature when pouring concrete i.e. very hot, or humid weather 
• Windy conditions 

The solution 

Curing compounds are designed to retain moisture in freshly poured concrete, ensuring effective curing and significantly reducing the risk of shrinkage cracks.  

In response to this need, a.b.e.® Concrete Works, Repair and Protection product offering now includes the duracure range of curing compounds.
