The drying shrinkage of concrete is analogous to the mechanism of drying of timber specimen. The loss of free water contained in hardened concrete, does not result in any appreciable dimension change. It is the loss of water held in gel pores that causes the change in the volume.
By maintaining moist conditions within the concrete element, MasterKure promotes more complete hydration of the concrete. The properly cured concrete is then typically stronger and exhibits a dust free surface with a reduced potential of drying shrinkage cracks.
