Why does CONCRETE need CURING ASSISTANCE?
Structurually important to ensure the concrete reachs design strength for durability. Methods include AQURON 2000 Hydrogel, water ponding, or a curing film. Water ponding is generally impractical for most projects, and acrylic films must be removed later, adding extra costs. AQURON 2000 is the most practical and cost-effective solution for curing concrete that will have floorcoverings installed
Why concrete under floorcoverings in Health & Aged Care need protection?
The first relates to the moisture content of the slab. Moisture and vapour can rise out of the slab and causing bubbling and delamination of the flooring, or dissolve the adhesive.
The second challenge is longer term. The slab needs to be protected against contaminants such bio-fluids (urine, blood, etc) or chemicals. These fluids can enter the porosity of the slab, sometimes causing odours which cannot be removed; and in some cases causing degeneration of the concrete itself.
