slowcuring
Slow-curing describes materials and formulations that set, harden, or polymerize at a slower rate than standard versions. The term is used across industries such as construction, coatings, elastomers, and adhesives. Slow-curing products are designed to extend working time, reduce peak exotherm, and improve process control by delaying the onset of solidification.
In concrete technology, curing refers to the hydration process of cement. Slow-curing admixtures and lower initial
In polymers and composite resins, curing is the chemical crosslinking that gives final properties. Slow-curing formulations
Selecting a slow-curing material requires balancing workability, final performance, and environmental conditions. Retarders used in concrete
