To produce high quality concrete, active curing is necessary and according to ACI the most effective method for highly wear resistant and durable concrete is wet curing for a period of seven days. Keeping concrete continuously wet for seven days can be a challenge but not for Sika UltraCure blankets. These products created from proprietary Natural Cellulose Fiber (NCF) based materials that incorporate the super absorption technology used in hygienic application to wick and hold moisture for long periods of time on concrete surfaces. Sika UltraCure blankets are perfect for slab-on-grade, RCC, decorative concrete, and DOT applications.
For your slab-on-grade applications, Sika Slab Solutions is a complete systems package that provides an easier, less laborious, cost effective solution for your jobsite through the replacement of traditional reinforcement with concrete fibers and load transferring dowels, minimizing repair costs with high quality admixtures, and enhancing the overall quality of your slab with proper curing and post applied systems.
