Description
Aluminized Resin-Based Reflective Curing Compound
AC-CURE-R(M) is a high-performance, resin-based membrane-forming curing compound that creates an aluminized, reflective impervious film. Designed for extreme climates, it seals concrete surfaces within 60 minutes, preventing water evaporation and reflecting solar heat to ensure optimal hydration.
Core Advantages
- Solar Reflection: Fine aluminized particles reflect sunlight, significantly reducing concrete temperature and thermal stresses.
- Superior Hydration: Forms a non-peeling, durable membrane that eliminates the need for conventional water curing—ideal for water-scarce areas.
- Crack Prevention: Minimizes plastic shrinkage and drying cracks by initiating the curing process immediately after casting.
- Extreme Weather Ready: Specifically engineered to withstand temperatures up to 55°C and heavy winds.
- Visual QC: The white metallic color provides a clear visual guide to ensure 100% surface coverage.
- Compatibility: Does not affect setting time or strength; once cured, the surface can receive paint, tiles, or plaster.
Ideal Applications
- Infrastructure: Airport runways, motorways, highways, and bridge decks.
- Heavy Construction: Concrete pavements (PQC) and port piers.
- Structural Elements: RCC slabs, columns, and beams, including inaccessible or overhead areas.
Efficiency Note
AC-CURE-R(M) conforms to MoRTH (India) specifications. It is easily applied via spray or brush, making it a more economical and labor-efficient alternative to ponding or wet hessian curing.
