Concrete Curing Blanket
Concrete curing blanket (cement blanket) made of polyester geotextile. Keeps surface water from evaporating and lowers slab temperature while concrete cures, for stronger, crack-free concrete.

- Function
- Moisture retention & temperature control
- Use
- Slabs, walls, pavements & decks
Curing makes the concrete.
Concrete gains strength only while it has water to hydrate. In a tropical climate like Indonesia's, sun and wind pull that water out of the surface within hours, leaving a weak, dusty top layer and plastic shrinkage cracks. A curing blanket keeps the surface wet and cool so the cement sets evenly across the whole slab.
Good curing gives harder, longer-lasting concrete with lower permeability, better abrasion resistance and fewer cracks. As ACI 302 puts it, after proper placement and finishing, curing is the single most important factor in a high-quality slab.
Indramas supplies curing blankets for road, building and infrastructure projects across Indonesia.
