Curing

            Column Curing


After one day of concreting, formwork was removed from column and curing agent was applied to concrete surface. Application of curing compound should be done immediately after striking the formwork and application done as single coating. Curing membrane film should maintain minimum 4 full days. (Figure 1.13).

Curing Agent – MASTERKURE 128 – Polymeric emulsion based concrete curing compound

MASTERKURE 128 is a ready to use, clear membrane curing compound based on selected polymeric emulsion which when applied on freshly placed concrete surface provide an efficient curing membrane with excellent non yellowing properties. This is also offered with fugitive dye as MASTERKURE 128 FD for easier identification of coated area.

Slab Curing

For slab top curing water ponding method was used and additionally polythene was placed on top of the slab because due to sunny condition evaporation of water can be happened. (Figure

1.14).
