About this product
A curing compound rather than a coating: it goes on as soon as the bleed water has gone and dries in 3 hours so the slab keeps its moisture while it hardens.

- For concrete curing and slab curing, pay particular attention to substrate moisture, depth, temperature and protection from traffic.
