Curing Compound

Quick Overview

Application procedures for curing compounds products include, but are not limited to:


• Water-based curing compounds should be thoroughly agitated prior to application. Do not mix with a high speed mixer.


• Most curing compounds will have to be removed prior to applying a sealer (acrylic, urethane, etc.), hardener (sodium silicate type), water repellent (siloxane or silane type) or any other secondary coating or topping.


• The rate of dissipation for hydrocarbon resin-based curing compounds is dependant upon climatic conditions, the rate of application, and exposure to ultra-violet light. Under normal conditions, chemical and physical breakdown will start in 4-6 weeks. Typically, light abrasion along with low pressure water blasting is sufficient in cleaning resin curing compound residue.
