Intercrete concrete solutions can reduce downtime from 28 days to 28 hours
Waiting for concrete to cure sufficiently to allow a protective coating or chemical resistant lining to be applied inevitably causes a long-term cessation of your construction progress – but not anymore. Intercrete products can be applied onto damp surfaces and also onto freshly poured (“green”) concrete as soon as it is structurally sound enough to stand on – usually around 24 hours later. Intercrete products can then be over coated with high performance coatings and linings one day later – giving you back nearly 4 weeks.
Faster Coating for Concrete - How Intercrete Works Low Water Content
High Speed Cure: Concrete needs to cure sufficiently and reduce the overall moisture content within the matrix to around 4% before coatings and chemical resistant linings can be applied. This can take up to 28 days – an inevitable delay to construction progress. Intercrete products have a hugely reduced water content and a highly dense matrix. As shown in the graph, Intercrete products can reach 4% moisture content in hours rather than weeks.
