Primary function
Creates a membrane to reduce evaporation, supporting continued cement hydration.
Product Construction Chemicals
Curing Compound (Acrylic)
Acrylic, film-forming curing compound designed to reduce water loss from fresh concrete—supporting hydration, early-age strength development, and improved surface performance in drying conditions.
Packaging: drums / IBC / bulk (as applicable)
Documentation: SDS / TDS; COA on request
Lead time depends on lane & volume
Commercial focus: predictable coverage + consistent cost-in-use
Options: clear or pigmented grades (grade dependent)
Export coordination: repeat procurement and labeling workflow
Commercial overview
Curing is one of the most cost-effective controls for concrete performance. Excessive evaporation—especially under wind, heat, low humidity, or direct sun—can increase the risk of plastic shrinkage cracking, dusting, weak surface paste, and uneven finishes. Acrylic curing compounds create a thin film that reduces moisture loss so cement hydration can continue.
- Reduces surface evaporation to support hydration and early strength gain
- Helps reduce plastic shrinkage cracking risk under drying conditions
- Supports improved surface durability and reduced dusting (system dependent)
- Spray-on workflow for large areas, yards, and time-sensitive pours
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Share your placing/finishing method and site constraints and we’ll align the right grade and application rate.
- Fresh concrete slabs and industrial floors
- Pavements, yards, and exterior flatwork
- Precast production and curing beds
- Concrete repairs and patch areas prone to rapid drying
Typical application method
Low-pressure spray after finishing when bleed water has dissipated.
Coverage control
Pigmented grades may be available (grade dependent) to help confirm uniform coverage on-site.
How to use
Performance depends on correct timing and uniform coverage. Guidance below is general; confirm grade-specific TDS and project requirements.
1) Apply at the right time
Apply after finishing when surface bleed water is gone. Too early can mark the finish; too late reduces curing effectiveness.
2) Achieve uniform film
Spray evenly with overlap. Missed areas reduce performance. Pigmented grades help visually confirm uniform application (grade dependent).
3) Protect the membrane
Avoid damage from early traffic or harsh weather. In severe conditions, a second light coat may be recommended (grade dependent).
Equipment
Low-pressure sprayer with fan nozzle is typical. Avoid overly fine mist in wind. Keep mixing/agitation if required for pigmented grades.
Coverage rate (indicative)
Rates vary by grade, surface texture, and conditions. Share your target m² and environment to receive a cost-in-use plan and packaging set.
Coatings compatibility
If coatings/toppings will follow, confirm compatibility or whether removal is required to avoid bond issues. Tell us your next step.
Safety note: Follow SDS and use appropriate PPE. Store sealed and protect from freezing; storage guidance is grade dependent.

Typical properties (indicative, grade dependent)
Your quotation will specify grade values and application guidance.
| Property | Typical range | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Milky emulsion; clear or pigmented film (grade dependent) | Handling and field verification of coverage |
| Solids content | Grade dependent | Affects film build, coverage rate, and cost-in-use |
| Drying behavior | Varies with temperature/humidity and grade | Determines traffic exposure and curing workflow timing |
| Coverage rate | Grade and site dependent | Planning for procurement and consistent curing performance |
| VOC / solvent profile | Water-based system (grade dependent) | May impact project restrictions and indoor use preference |
| Compatibility / removability | Depends on grade and subsequent system | Critical if coatings/toppings/densifiers will follow |
Engineering note: Curing compounds reduce moisture loss but do not replace good concreting practice. In severe evaporation conditions, consider wind breaks, schedule control, and other site measures per project requirements.

FAQ
Quick answers for site teams and procurement.
When should it be applied?
Typically after finishing when surface bleed water is gone. Confirm timing and method in the grade TDS.
Is coverage visible?
Some grades are clear; others are pigmented for coverage control. Tell us your preference and site practice.
Can I coat or densify later?
Some membranes can affect bonding of coatings/toppings/densifiers unless removed or confirmed compatible. Share your next step.
How much do I need?
Depends on grade coverage rate, texture, and conditions. Provide m² and environment for a cost-in-use plan.
Is it suitable for indoor use?
Many acrylic systems are water-based; verify grade restrictions and ventilation practice via SDS/TDS.
What documents can you provide?
SDS and TDS on request; COA can be supplied for delivered batches (by lane and destination requirements).
