DEFINITION
Novo Cure WB is a membrane forming wax emulsion curing compound which, when applied to damp concrete, seals in moisture, arrests evaporation and ensure adequate hydration of the body and concrete surface.
STANDARDS
Novo Cure WB meets specific requirement of ASTM C309
FIELD OF USES
Novo Cure WB is used to provide a membrane on the surface of newly placed concrete to retain moisture for effective curing to take place.
ADVANTAGES
• Reduce surface shrinkage and cracking.
• Enable concrete to hydrate more efficiently.
• Ease of application.
• No waiting-apply as soon for damp hessian, sand or polyethylene.
• Reduce labor costs.
• Form a tough film on the surface of freshly placed concrete or render. This enables the cement to hydrate more efficiently, eliminates the causes of shrinkage cracking and produces high compressive strength with a harder wearing surface to the concrete.
• Films have a “built in” break down system causing the film to disintegrate by the month, depending on weather conditions.
