Choose the best concrete wet curing system, choose UltraCure

UltraCure wet curing blankets provide thorough hydration, less discoloration and a more evenly cured slab. Unlike other blankets, which tend to dry out after three or four days, UltraCure's natural cellulose fabric provides constant hydration and maintains a 100% relative humidity condition on the concrete slab for the required curing period.Wet Curing Comparison Chart




Strength/Hardness: The longer 100% humidity is maintained during the cure, the more likely the concrete will reach its potentialstrength and hardness, and resist efflorescence.

Abrasion Resistance: The longer 100% humidity is maintained during the cure, the greater the consolidation of the cement molecules, thus increasing abrasion resistance.

Wicking/Laying Flat: Eliminating air entrapment means eliminating efflorescence, since the lime in the cement cannot react with CO2 in the air. Proper wicking assists in keeping the blanket in place during curing.

Most “Green” Product: A harder, abrasion-resistant slab lasts longer and is more sustainable. These wet curing blankets prevent water runoff into streams. And all of the UltraCure wet curing blankets are environmentally friendly as they are biodegradable.

Temperature Control: By allowing for proper hydration during the cure, thanks to these curing blankets’ superior water absorption, temperatures are minimized and controlled to meet ACI specifications.

Re-Wetting Labor: Because most blankets do not wick, or retain water, they must be rehydrated during the cure—and that incurs additional labor hours. UltraCure blankets do not require re-wetting if installed per the manufacturers recommendations.

Lowest Installed Cost: Compared to the competition, these innovative curing blankets are less costly in terms of material and, especially, labor.

Extend Slab Life: Proper wet curing can extend the “useable” life of a slab by 25%.
