PC-Buildcure® WB
Water based concrete curing compound
PC-Buildcure® WB is a water-based concrete curing compound that employs a low-viscosity wax emulsion. The emulsion, supplied as a white coating, forms a transparent film upon drying. Upon application to fresh cementitious surfaces, the emulsion initially creates a non-penetrating white coating, which subsequently dries into a clear film. By providing a cement shrinkage barrier, it prevents moisture
loss, resulting in more efficient hydration, improved durability and reduced cement shrinkage.Moreover, PC-Buildcure® WB is also available in a white-pigmented version. It features a white-pigment based on titanium dioxide, which meets specifications requiring pigmentation for the reduction of solar temperature gain.
ADVANTAGES
- Improved curing of concrete enhances the hydration process and provides a more durable concrete.
- Control of moisture loss improves surface quality, reducing permeability, minimizing surface cracking and shrinkage.
- Fugitive color provides a visual guide during application.
- Also available in white-pigmented grade.
- Water based, therefore, non-flammable.
- Spray application reduces labor costs, therefore, eliminates the need for alternative curing systems.
USES
This spray-applied membrane is an effective means of retaining moisture during the concrete curing process. It’s suitable for all general concreting applications, with particular advantages for large area surfaces such as airport runways, roads, and bridge works.
