Concrete is an alkaline
and abrasive product and
can cause burns and skin
disease.
10. HOW LONG BEFORE THE
CONCRETE GOES HARD?
Once Water is added to
the mix at the plant,
the chemical reaction
commences and concrete
starts to set between
1-2 hours from then.
Setting times are
dependent upon local
weather conditions and
the type of concrete
ordered.
The
concrete will require
protective curing to
prevent problems such as
cracking, typically
using a spray-on
membrane or covering
with plastic sheeting as
soon as possible after
placing. |
