Concrete Curing With Cpt

摘要

Carbon Polymer Technology (CPT) is a unique patented flexible heating technology manufactured by UK-based company Inditherm. In partnership with the Centre for Infrastructure Management (CIM) at Sheffield Hallam University, the technology has been developed for applications within the construction industry and in particular for improving the manufacture of precast concrete, accelerating strength gain and protecting against low ambient conditions for in-situ concreting.rnThe hydration of ordinary Portland cement is accelerated with elevated temperature curing. The consequent rapid strength gain has many advantages in the concrete manufacturing industry, such as increased production and rapid turnover of products in precast plants. In addition, the accelerated gain in concrete maturity with high-temperature curing facilitates in-situ concrete construction during winter months.
