Abstract
The research of the present paper explored the membrane-forming performance and application for a kind of emulsion wax curing agent (EWCA) used as the curing material during cement concrete construction, which passed through a series of tests that included tests for membrane forming on glass plates, tests for membrane forming on cement concrete test blocks, tests for membrane forming and thermal endurance and tests for appearance observation about membrane forming and water pouring. Those tests helped to optimize the formula for EWCA and establish the process parameters for production of EWCA and then produce an EWCA with high performance. Tests for cracking on slabs and engineering projects of cement concrete curing indicated that the EWCA studied in this paper can be applied to cure cement concrete which is cured by spraying water or under all kinds of weather condition.
