AS 3799:1998 (R2018)

Specifies characteristics and requirements for liquid membrane-forming curing compounds for concrete (referred to as curing compounds). Such compounds are used to limit the loss of water from concrete surfaces during the early hydration method.

Scope

This Standard sets out requirements for liquid membrane-forming curing compounds for concrete (referred to as curing compounds). It specifically excludes compounds applied to concrete, which do not form a membrane as defined in Clause 1.4, Definitions, of this Standard.
Appendices set out sampling procedure, methods of test for water retention efficiency and drying time, and a final appendix discusses general information and properties of curing compounds.
