Quality curing - a challenge for concrete contractors?
Concrete contractors are under more pressure than ever.
- Program time squeeze
- Higher performance expectations
- Labour constraints
- The shift toward lower‑carbon concrete mixes
There is less margin for error on site. At the same time, owners and designers are demanding longer service life, fewer defects and better sustainability outcomes.
MEETING PLACEMENT CHALLENGES
Backed by years of use in the field, these systems have consistently delivered reliable performance in demanding conditions. Each solution supports long-term durability and addresses the specific challenges of the sector.
Quality curing:
Built to Last: Durable Concrete - Quality Curing
MARKHAM’s range of water-based colloidal silica spray-on treatments are safe, nil-VOC and nil-odour.
They do not leave a film on the surface and do not require grinding off later in the project.
Key needs
Concrete still needs to be placed, finished and cured efficiently, while meeting durability and performance requirements that continue to rise.
You need
- Easy and effective curing treatment
- Consistent supply quality
- Positive impacts to surface quality
- No extra processes such as grinding.
Quality curing is essential for both the short-term project finish and the long-term durability.
- CONQOR CURE SPRAY-ON hydrogel to provide concrete curing quality even in the harshest temperatures. Minimise shrinkage cracking. No surface coating to remove afterwards. CONQOR CURE has been proven as equal to water-ponding curing.
- CONQOR SEAL SPRAY-ON. Seal the concrete from within using CONQOR SEAL. No change to the surface colour or texture. Provides surface hardening and anti-dusting for concrete deck slabs. Permanent – never needs re-application!
- CONQOR B50 ADMIXTURE is sourced from a byproduct of geothermal industry. As well as waterproofing the concrete from within, this advanced admixture reduces shrinkage – enhancing quality curing – and permanently protects the concrete. It is fully compatible with any coating or treatment designed for bare concrete.
Placing and Finishing:
Workability - SCM challenges - shotcrete
Concrete that is difficult to place or finish creates immediate problems on site. Poor flow, stickiness, segregation or excessive rebound can slow pours, increase effort and compromise surface quality.
MARKHAM specialist admixtures improve the behaviour of the concrete itself. They improve flow, pumpability and placement, while still delivering a quality, durable concrete. Importantly, this can be achieved without compromising long‑term performance. CONQOR – making concrete better.
MARKHAM workability admixtures are ideal for shotcrete placement, allowing crews to operate equipment on lower pressures.
MEETING DAILY CONTRACTOR CHALLENGES.
Concrete needs to last longer.
- CONQOR B25 is a workability enhancer. Ideal for congested reinforcing, unusual shapes, or difficult access. It is produced from a by-product of the geothermal industry – a very sustainable source.
- CONQOR B50 is sourced from a byproduct of geothermal industry. As well as waterproofing the concrete from within, this advanced admixture reduces shrinkage – enhancing quality curing – and permanently protects the concrete. It is fully compatible with any coating or treatment designed for bare concrete.
