Fresh concrete loses moisture rapidly, which can lead to shrinkage cracking, poor surface quality, and reduced long-term strength. Cormix curing compounds form a continuous film that retains moisture throughout the curing period—supporting full cement hydration and enhancing compressive strength, abrasion resistance, and durability.
To complement curing technologies, Cormix mould oils ensure smooth and effortless release from formwork. They minimise blowholes, staining, and surface defects while extending the service life of moulds. Available in economical water-based options and premium-grade formulations, these products are engineered for a range of climates, applications, and project requirements.
Together, the curing and mould oil systems provide a complete solution for high-quality concrete production, from placing and protection to formwork release and final appearance.
Key Features:
Curing Compounds
- Creates an effective moisture-retaining membrane to reduce early-age cracking
- Enhances full cement hydration for improved strength and durability
- Single-coat spray application, eliminating the need for water curing methods
- Available in heat-reflective white emulsions and clear membranes for architectural work
- Suitable for surfaces that will receive later coatings, toppings, or rendering
Mould Oils
- Provides clean and consistent release from all common mould and form materials
- Reduces surface imperfections, blowholes, and patching work
- Improves fair-faced concrete finish quality
- Water-based and eco-friendly options available
- Designed for both general-purpose use and demanding site environments
Typical Applications :
Curing Compounds
- Floor slabs, pavements, industrial flooring
- Precast elements, columns, beams, panels
- Infrastructure works including bridge decks and runways
- Hot or windy environments with high evaporation rates
Mould Oils
- Precast yards and formwork systems
- Architectural concrete requiring clean, fair-faced finishes
- Columns, walls, tanks, beams, and reusable moulds
- Complex or detailed form shapes where clean release is critical
