CHRYSO®Cure WB (Wax Base)

by | Jul 29, 2015

Wax based curing compound CHRYSO®Cure WB 

is a low viscosity wax emulsion. The formulation of CHRYSO®Cure WB ensures that the emulsion breaks down to form a non-penetrating continuous film immediately upon contact with cementitious surface. This film prevents excessive water evaporation which permits more efficient cement hydration. CHRYSO®Cure WB provides a spray or brush applied temporary membrane to retain moisture in concrete for effective curing.
