SC Cure 500®
Concrete Curing Compound
A leading edge technology, concrete curing compound that was developed to cure hard-troweled concrete to be treated with a lithium silicate hardener/densifiers like LithSeal SC.
SC Cure 500® penetrates and forms a temporary membrane to cure, densify, harden and dustproof concrete essential for proper strength development.
Should SC Cure 500® be over applied or left to dry on the surface of hard trowel concrete surfaces, the surface membrane becomes brittle and is easily removed with a stiff broom or light abrasion.
Once the surface has been cleaned, lithium hardeners can be applied within 7 days.
SC Cure 500® meets the moisture retention of ASTM C309 on hard-troweled concrete surfaces.
