FARCOCURE HR-WB
Concrete Curing Compound
Product Description
FARCOCURE is produced in 2 types:
- FARCOCURE WB is a wax based liquid curing compound
- FARCOCURE HR is a hydrocarbon resin based liquid curing membrane
HR and WB are produced in two colors in dried stage, white and transparent. Once applied, FARCOCURE forms a membrane that retains an optimum amount of water in freshly placed concrete for complete hydration of the cement and there will be no need for wet curing any more.

Applications
Uses FARCOCURE HR,WB can be used on both interior and exterior, concrete floors, sidewalks, pavements, driveways and runways.
FARCOCURE HR,WB (white) is suitable for large exterior surfaces, which has better performance in sunray reflection and avoid the increase of the internal temperature of concrete.
Advantages
- high moisture retention for optimum cure
- No negative reaction with cement and reduction the durability, when applied as recommended in thin layer
- Reduces the permeability of the concrete
- The HR and HR white membrane begins to chemically break down after 7 days of application due to oxidation and UV.
- Controlling the internal temperature of concrete by white types.
Method of Use
- FARCOCURE is ready to use and no need to mix with other materials, for optimum performance, gentle mixing or agitation is recommended.
- Apply in a uniform film to horizontal surfaces as soon as the surface water disappears and the surface will not be marred by walking workmen. On vertical surfaces, apply promptly after the forms are removed. FARCOCURE may be applied with a typical commercial hand or power sprayer or brush.
- The consumption is 180 to 200 ml per m2.
- Do not apply it when the concrete is bleeding and wait until the surface water is evaporated.
- Clean the tools after application.
Remarks
- FARCOCURE should be protected from rain and traffic until the membrane has completely dried out.
- If any decorative or protective coatings is going to be applied on the treated surfaces the membrane residue must completely removed by sand blasting, water blasting or washing with solvents.
Packaging
- HR, HR white is supplied in 20 lit gallons and 220 lit drums.
- WB, WB white is supplied in 20kg gallons and 220 kg drums.
Storage
Store in cool and dry conditions.
- HR and HR white contain flammable solvents. Keep away from open flame.
- Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Provide ventilation in work areas during and after application if used indoors.
Shelf Life
One year in original, unopened container.
Safety and Handling Precautions
Avoid contact with eyes and skin, wear protective gloves and eye protection during work. If skin contact occurs, wash skin thoroughly.
