Abstract

Specifies characteristics and requirements for liquid membrane-forming curing compounds for concrete (referred to as curing compounds). Such compounds are used to limit the loss of water from concrete surfaces during the early hydration method.

RECONFIRMATION NOTICE
Major stakeholders of this publication have reviewed the content of this publication and in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation, it has been determined that the publication is still valid and does not require change.
Certain documents referenced in the publication may have been amended since the original date of publication. Users are advised to ensure that they are using the latest versions of such documents as appropriate, unless advised otherwise in this Reconfirmation Notice.
Approved for reconfirmation in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation on 29 August 2018.

Scope

This Standard sets out requirements for liquid membrane-forming curing compounds for concrete (referred to as curing compounds). It specifically excludes compounds applied to concrete, which do not form a membrane as defined in Clause 1.4, Definitions, of this Standard.
Appendices set out sampling procedure, methods of test for water retention efficiency and drying time, and a final appendix discusses general information and properties of curing compounds.
