PC-Buildcure® AC

Ready to use, liquid membrane-forming compound based on acrylic emulsions in waterfor curing concret

PC-Buildcure® AC roper curing is crucial for the durability and strength of concrete. Traditional curing methods are time-consuming and start after initial water evaporation. PC-Buildcure® AC, an acrylic emulsion-based membrane-forming curing compound, is a solution that creates a seamless film on fresh concrete and mortars, preventing capillary water evaporation, avoiding cracks, and promoting efficient hydration. It is applied once during the critical hardening period and complies with ASTM C 309.

ADVANTAGES

  • Provides protection against acute sun rays and UV rays, preventing quick drying of freshly placed concrete.
  • Especially useful in cases where early plastering is required.
  • Ensures optimum hydration, leading to stronger end hydration products.
  • Allows for better quality control at job sites.
  • Does not alter the normal setting of cement.
  • Minimizes shrinkage cracks during early stages of curing.
  • Single application, saving on labor costs.
  • Easy to apply, ideal for overhead curing and hard-to-reach areas (such as chimneys).
  • Suitable for areas with water shortage, eliminating the need for water spraying, hessian, PE films, and other alternatives.
  • Increases solar reflectance, reducing the temperature of the concrete.
  • Fixes micro-cracks in the concrete, with no need for removal before treatment.

USES

PC-Buildcure® AC is a versatile solution that finds utility in numerous applications. It’s particularly useful in large areas of concrete that are directly exposed to harsh environmental conditions like sunlight and heavy winds. Additionally, it’s an ideal choice for early plastering, concrete bridges, canal linings, airport structures, motorways, harbors, port piers, dams, irrigation structures, roof decks, retaining walls, overhead patch repairs, and inaccessible areas, as well as tall structures
like chimneys and cooling towers
