CHRYSO®Cure HPE is a ready to use water-based curing agent for application on fresh concrete, mortars, and other cement based castings and on recently demoulded concrete. By forming a protective film, CHRYSO®Cure HPE prevents concrete and mortar from drying out too quickly. This enables a more complete hydration of the cement particles and limits early age cracking and drying shrinkage. Thus giving the treated surface of the concrete, after setting a better resistance to abrasion. A surface treated with CHRYSO®Cure HPE is initially white in order to easily identify the coated areas. After drying, the coating is transparent. CHRYSO®Cure HPE eases trowel finishing and improves the surface finish.
