For decades, Kraft Curing has been at the forefront of innovation in concrete curing. The introduction of new cements - using various types of fillers (hydraulic and inert) to replace Portland clinker (in an effort to reduce cement’s CO2 footprint) - is causing producers of precast and prestress elements to question when these products can be demoulded or detensioned without risking damage to the product. To address this issue - as well as the general issue of when a concrete product is suitable for handling - Kraft Curing’s introduction, last year, of Match-Cure technology marks a milestone in quality control for precast and prestress concrete production.
