AS 3799:1998 (R2018) PDF Download

AS 3799:1998 (R2018) outlines the requirements for curing compounds used in concrete applications. These compounds are specifically designed to form a membrane on the surface of the concrete, facilitating proper curing and hydration of the material.

The standard excludes compounds that do not meet the specified criteria for membrane formation. It provides definitions and explanations of key terms and concepts, ensuring clarity and consistency throughout the document.

Appendices in the standard cover various aspects such as sampling procedures and methods of testing for water retention efficiency and drying time. These testing methods help assess the effectiveness and performance of curing compounds.

The standard also includes a final appendix that offers general information and properties of curing compounds, providing additional guidance and insight into their characteristics and applications. Compliance with AS 3799:1998 (R2018) ensures that curing compounds meet the necessary criteria for effective concrete curing.
