Product Description, Applications
Transguard® 4000 is a white, synthetic fiber mat with a white plastic sheet backing that maintains proper moisture content during the concrete curing process, reducing cracking, dusting and scaling. The lightweight, reusable wet cure covers are more flexible than other curing materials and easier to install, saving time, labor and money.

Transguard 4000 features exceptionally low permeability and retains extra water to permit the concrete to achieve maximum expansion

Features, Advantages

• Easily handled – Fewer people can install in less time
• Low permeability – Superior water retention; reduces amount of rewetting
• Reflective – Reflects heat to decrease moisture loss
• Reusable – Synthetic material; will not rot or deteriorate like burlap
• Provides 100% humidity environment for top 1/8" – 1/4" (3.2 – 6.4 mm) of concrete
• Seals easily and effectively at edges and overlaps
• Does not produce brown stains or affect appearance of the pavement
• Allows light traffic during the curing process without damaging concrete
• Stock sizes available for immediate shipment
