Types of curing procedure include the following:
* Curing compound: For textured or tined surface the spray application should be
applied from two directions to ensure that the entire surface is coated.
* Membrane curing: Various liquid sealing compounds, e.g. bituminous and
paraffinic emulsions, coal tar cut backs, pigmented and non-pigmented resin
suspensions, or suspensions of wax or non-liquid protective coating such as sheet
plastics or water proof paper, are used to restrict evaporation of water.
* Curing blankets: A cover of sacks, mats, cotton bats, burlap, straw, or other suitable
paper is placed over the surface to reduce evaporation and to reduce the temperature
reduction at the surface. When used to reduce evaporation the blankets are
generally wetted.
* Monomolecular film (MMF): MMFs are compounds that form a thin
monomolecular film to reduce moisture loss from the concrete surface prior to
curing. Another curing method should be used after the evaporation retardant is
sprayed on. Research has shown, however, that the use of MMF followed by
application of curing compound does not consistently provide less evaporation than
curing compound alone.25
