UltraCure NCF™ is a single-use concrete wet curing blanket designed to provide continuous and even hydration across freshly placed concrete surfaces for the full seven-day curing period.
Manufactured from highly absorbent Natural Cellulose Fabric, UltraCure NCF absorbs and distributes curing water evenly across the slab. When correctly installed, it maintains a 100% relative-humidity environment at the concrete surface, supporting continued cement hydration and consistent concrete development.
Unlike conventional wet curing covers that can dry out after only a few days, UltraCure NCF is designed to remain moist for up to seven days without rewetting. Each 149 m² roll can absorb up to 208 litres of curing water, providing the sustained moisture required for effective long-term wet curing.
The white reflective polyethylene backing reduces solar heat absorption and provides clear visual confirmation that moisture remains beneath the blanket. UltraCure NCF rolls out flat and closely follows the concrete surface, helping reduce trapped air, surface marking and uneven discolouration.
Continuous wet curing improves concrete hydration, strength and surface durability while helping reduce permeability, plastic-shrinkage cracking, crazing, dusting and efflorescence. It also improves abrasion resistance and produces a more evenly cured concrete surface.
UltraCure NCF reduces the labour, monitoring, rewetting, storage and transportation associated with traditional wet curing methods. It is particularly suitable for industrial floors, architectural concrete, pavements and projects where concrete appearance and long-term performance are important.
CANZAC supplies UltraCure NCF concrete curing blankets throughout New Zealand and provides quantity calculations, installation guidance and technical support.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Thoroughly wet the concrete surface before installing UltraCure NCF. Position the blanket with the absorbent fabric against the concrete and the white polyethylene backing facing upwards.
