What is Curing Concrete?

01-05-2023
To achieve continuous development of the compressive strength of concrete, it is necessary to fully hydrate the cement, which is accomplished through curing. Curing is a method that involves controlling and preventing the evaporation of residual water from the reaction.
 
The objective of curing concrete is twofold:
1) to attain maximum strength and durability in the resulting concrete.
2) to regulate temperature and minimize water evaporation to avoid cracking.
 
The following are typical techniques for curing concrete:
1) Regularly spraying water to keep the concrete moist.
2) Applying a plastic cover after spraying water to prevent water from evaporating.
3) Using sacks soaked in water to cover the concrete.
4) Applying a chemical coating to the surface of the concrete.
 
The Siam Industrial Wire (SIW) provides PC WIRE TIS. 95-2540 and PC STRAND TIS. 420-2540, which are the primary components of prestressed concrete production and are acknowledged in over 50 countries worldwide. SIW offers after-sales services to customers, including free calibration of wire pulling machines at their site to ensure that customers can use prestressed wire with confidence.
