Concrete Block Curing

As one of the remarkable manufacturers and suppliers in this domain, we have engrossed in offering Concrete Block Curing System. The offered curing system ensures the optimal strength and lower permeability of the concrete blocks to avoid cracks at installed places. This curing system is designed and assembled using superior-quality components and of advanced methodology in adherence with industry standards. Further, we are offering this Concrete Block Curing System to the clients in different technical specifications at the most competitive prices.Features:Easy to maintain Robust constructionLow power consumptionOptimum performance Concrete Block CuringIn all but the least critical applications, care needs to be taken to properlycureconcrete blocks, to achieve best strength and hardness. This happens after the concrete has been placed. Cement requires a moist, controlled environment to gain strength and harden fully. The cement paste hardens over time, initially setting and becoming rigid though very weak and gaining in strength in the weeks following. In around 3 weeks, typically over 90% of the final strength is reached, though strengthening may continue for decades.The conversion ofcalcium hydroxidein the concrete intocalcium carbonatefrom absorption ofCO2over several decades further strengthen the concrete and making it more resilient to damage.Hydration and hardening of concrete during the first three days is critical. Abnormally fast drying and shrinkage due to factors such as evaporation from wind during placement may lead to increased tensile stresses at a time when it has not yet gained sufficient strength, resulting in greater shrinkage cracking. The early strength of the concrete can be increased if it is kept damp during the curing process. Minimizing stress prior to curing minimizes cracking. High-early-strength concrete is designed to hydrate faster, often by increased use of cement that increases shrinkage and cracking. During this period concrete needs to be kept under controlled temperature and humid atmosphere. In practice, this is achieved by High pressure fogging or technically called as Humidification of the concrete blocks, thereby protecting the concrete mass from ill effects of ambient conditions. Properly cured concrete blocks leads to increased strength and lower permeability and avoids cracking where the surface dries out prematurely. Care must also be taken to avoid freezing, or overheating due to theexothermicsetting of cement. Improper curing can causescaling, reduced strength, poorabrasionresistance andcracking.
