Skudo CURE is a revolutionary curing agent that penetrates the surface of the concrete and creates a sub-surface barrier. This barrier holds moisture for significantly increased hydration during the curing cycle. A penetrating barrier is not affected by typical construction traffic, so the hydration (and color) is more consistent throughout the project.

Skudo CURE is dissipating but does not require UV light like other dissipating cures. No matter how fast your project is moving, Skudo CURE will increase hydration and dissipate after 30 days – allowing for decorative concrete processes and/or tile or stone installation seal coatings like epoxy or urethane. Without a surface film coating, there is nothing to remove before installing any flooring products or other surface treatments.

Skudo CURE was specifically created with decorative concrete projects in mind. Without a typical curing sealer surface film to remove, the polished concrete project becomes much more controllable while reducing labor costs. Controlling the depth of grinding is also much easier without the need to remove a surface coating with aggressive abrasives. Skudo CURE increases abrasion resistance by creating a much denser and harder surface paste while dust-proofing the concrete.

Skudo CURE is recommended for newly placed concrete to retain moisture and achieve curing characteristics such as increased surface strength and reduced curling. Skudo CURE is ideal for integrally colored concrete where regular sealers can discolor the finish.

Improves cure by retaining slab moisture

High penetrating, non-film forming – no need to grind or chemically remove layer to seal and burnish

Greatly improves abrasion resistance

Drastically reduces crazing and map cracking

Forms hydrophobic barrier and increases stain repellency

Helps reduce efflorescence and minimises dusting of the concrete
