Product FAQ

SpECcure WE improves concrete durability by preventing excessive water evaporation during curing, which enhances cement hydration and reduces shrinkage. This results in a denser, more resilient concrete surface that resists cracking and wear, ultimately extending the lifespan of the structure.

SpECcure WE is spray applied directly onto concrete surfaces. The nozzle should be held about 500mm away and moved back and forth to ensure complete coverage. Apply the compound as soon as the concrete is free from surface water for optimal curing effectiveness.

The key benefits of using SpECcure WE include improved moisture retention, which enhances surface quality and reduces permeability. It minimizes shrinkage and cracking, resulting in increased durability of the cured concrete. Additionally, the non-flammable formulation ensures safety during application, while the spray application method reduces labor costs and simplifies the curing process. The white pigmented grade also helps to minimize solar heat gain in hot climates.

SpECcure WE complies with ASTM C309 – Type 1D and Type 2 curing compound requirements, and meets the curing efficiency criteria as per BS 8110 and DTp Specification for Highway Works Clause 1027.

The coverage rate of SpECcure WE is typically 4.5 to 5.5 square meters per litre.

SpECcure WE has a curing efficiency rate of over 75% as per BS 8110 and DTp Specification for Highway Works Clause 1027.
