About Wax Curing Compound
CETEXWCC, Wax CuringCompound, wax emulsion based, white tinted, when applied to freshly placedconcrete, quickly forms a wax membrane to maximize water retention in concrete.This results in better cement hydration and concrete strength. It is waterbased and used directly. On application it gives a white coating on the surface,which protects the surface from heat and helps in proper application.
ADVANTAGES
- Reducessurface shrinkage & crack formation by eliminating moisture loss fromsurface.
- Reducessurface dusting as capillary migration of water to surface is eliminated.
- Reducescost of manpower and supervision cost compared to conventional ponding.
- Eliminatesthe need of damp hessian, sand or plastic for curing or surface protection.
- Rapidfilm formation; enables concrete to hydrate more efficiently.
- Thewax film on the surface decomposes in a few weeks which allows furthertreatment of the surface.
- Nonflammable, Non toxic, very low VOC, conforms to green building norms.
- Dueto white pigmentation, it reflects the heat and reduces the surfacetemperature.
- Itis economical to use and for large areas may work out cost effective.

FAQs of Wax Curing Compound:
Q: How should the wax curing compound be applied to concrete?
A: The compound should be sprayed or brushed evenly onto freshly placed concrete to form a continuous film. This ensures the wax membrane locks in moisture and aids in efficient cement hydration.
Q: What benefit does this curing compound offer over traditional water curing methods?
A: By creating a wax-based membrane, this product maximizes water retention within the concrete, eliminating the need for continuous water application and reducing labor and resource costs.
Q: When is the best time to apply the wax curing compound?
A: Apply the compound immediately after the final finishing of the concrete, when the surface is still fresh but free from excess water, to achieve optimal curing results.
Q: What is the appearance of the compound once applied?
A: When applied, the compound leaves a white coating on the surface, serving as a protective layer against heat and indicating uniform application coverage.
Q: Where can this compound be sourced in India?
A: The wax curing compound is widely available in India through dealers, distributors, manufacturers, exporters, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers.
Q: What type of projects is this curing compound suitable for?
A: It is designed for industrial-grade uses, including commercial construction and infrastructure projects, ensuring long-term strength and durability of concrete surfaces.
Q: Is the wax curing compound safe and easy to use?
A: Yes, it is a water-based, odorless product. Being ready-to-use, it requires no dilution or special handling, making the application process simple and safe.
