Curing compound is a liquid coating applied to freshly poured concrete surfaces to promote hydration and ensure proper curing. It forms a membrane barrier that retains moisture, allowing the concrete to cure uniformly, minimizing cracking and enhancing strength and durability. The compound also prevents rapid moisture loss and surface evaporation.
Shuttering oil is a specialized lubricant applied to formwork surfaces in construction to prevent adhesion between the formwork and freshly poured concrete. It ensures easy removal of the formwork, facilitating smooth finishing of concrete structures. The oil forms a temporary barrier, preventing concrete from bonding to the formwork surface.
Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP) is a free-flowing, white powder used in construction as a vital component in cement-based systems. It enhances cohesion, flexibility, and water resistance, improving mortar and adhesive properties. Upon mixing with water, it forms a film, enhancing bond strength and durability in various building applications like tile adhesives and renders.
