Premature moisture loss weakens concrete. Curing compounds form a membrane that retains water, ensuring proper hydration, higher strength, and better durability. Fortune Chemicals’ curing compounds help projects achieve consistent, long-term performance.
Learn how curing compounds protect new concrete.
Curing Compounds: Locking in Strength from Day One
-
Why Curing Matters
Without controlled curing, concrete risks plastic shrinkage, surface dusting, and lower durability. Moisture retention is essential for full cement hydration.
-
Types of Curing Compounds
- Wax/Paraffin Emulsions – Reliable moisture retention for slabs and pavements
- Acrylic Resin Compounds – Form a durable membrane; can serve as a temporary sealer
- Water-Based, Low-VOC – Safer application, easy cleanup
-
