CHRYSO®Cure HPS

CHRYSO®Cure WB

CHRYSO®Cure HPS is a ready-to-use curing agent for application on fresh concrete, mortar and other cement coatings.

CHRYSO®Cure WB is a low viscosity wax emulsion. The formulation of CHRYSO®Cure WB ensures that the emulsion breaks down to form a non-penetrating continuous film immediately upon contact with cementitious surface. This film prevents excessive water evaporation which permits more efficient cement hydration.

CHRYSO®Cure HPS prevents concrete or mortar from drying too quickly. This enables a more complete hydration of cement and avoids early cracking and drying shrinkage.

CHRYSO®Cure WB provides a spray or brush applied temporary membrane to retain moisture in concrete for effective curing.

CHARACTERISTICS • Colour: Liquid, white dry film, clear

The surface of the concrete thus treated, after setting, offers a better resistance to “abrasion”, high hardness, without dusting and its aspect is unchanged.

CHARACTERISTICS • This product conforms to NF 085 certification, which technical specifications are those applied in the non-harmonised part of NF EN934-2

• CHRYSO®Cure WB complies to the performance specifications of ASTM C309 - 81

CHRYSO®Cure WBD CHRYSO®Cure WBD includes a pink fugative dye. The formulation of CHRYSO®Cure ensures that the emulsion breaks down to form a non-penetrating continuous film immediately upon contact with cementitious surface. This film prevents excessive water evaporation which permits more efficient cement hydration. CHRYSO®Cure WBD provides a spray or brush applied temporary membrane to retain moisture in concrete for effective curing.

• Sealing of prefabricated concrete element e.g. joints in tunnels and shafts; may also be used for “open joints”

CHARACTERISTICS

ADVANTAGES

• CHRYSO®Cure WBD complies to the performance specifications of ASTM C309 – 81

• New generation expanding rubber sealing material

CHRYSO®Cure WP is very efficient curing, where light reflectance is needed to keep the temperature of the concrete to a minimum.
