Popis:	The use of curing compounds on fresh concrete is well known to prevent moisture loss of the surface. When excessive moisture loss is not prevented, plastic shrinkage cracking is likely to occur and there will be a lack of water to hydrate the cement, resulting in a concrete with lower surface strengths and lower durability.
