Curing Compounds

Water curing works, yet it means rewetting the slab every few hours for days, time and labour most crews cannot spare. One spray of curing compound forms a moisture‑locking film that keeps hydration on track without the hoses. It works best on big pours or remote sites where traditional water curing just is not practical.

Apply a spray‑on curing compound the moment the trowels come off. That single coat traps mixed water so the concrete can reach full strength. Once the curing window closes, roll on a sealer to guard the surface from water, stains and wear. A handful of dual‑purpose products exist, but timing and performance still rule which option works best.

The best curing compound depends on the project. Allcon carries water-based, hydrocarbon and acrylic options to suit aesthetic, performance or removal requirements. Contact our technical team to discuss which formulation meets your site specs and timeline.

Curing compounds typically break down over 7–30 days, depending on exposure and traffic. Some acrylic-based formulations may remain longer if not removed. Always check product data sheets for breakdown timelines and compatibility with subsequent coatings or toppings.
