CURECON A acrylic, water based curing compound is a Class D, Type 1 curing compound for use on new concrete that facilitates maximum moisture retention through the curing period to maximise concrete strength & durability.
CURECON A, when applied by the correct method and at the recommended application rate, leaves a dried film, which is not particularly obvious. This film does not normally darken on exposure to sunlight. CURECON A is based on an acrylic resin combined with other additives.
Curecon A is certified to comply with Australian Standard AS 3799.
Efficient curing of the concrete assists the development of strength, abrasion resistance and durability.

Mix thoroughly prior to use. Ensure CURECON A is homogeneous.
Curecon A should be evenly sprayed onto the surface over the freshly laid concrete as soon as possible after final trowelling. Ideally Curecon A should be applied as soon as the surface bleed water has evaporated.
In all cases Curecon A should be applied at a coverage rate not less than 5m2 per litre.
Aliphatic alcohol preparations used in the finishing process of the concrete surface will not interfere with the drying or bond characteristics of Curecon A.
Note: CURECON A does not contain fugitive dye. Care should be taken to ensure CURECON A is applied in an even film over the entire surface area of the concrete.
Curecon A is applied at the rate of 5m2 per litre (0.2 litres per m 2 ). Note that surface texture of the finished concrete can affect the apparent coverage rate of the applied coating of Curecon W.
Curecon A is supplied in 20 litre cubes, 200 litre drums and 1,000 litre IBC containers.
