As sustainability targets become embedded into specifications, the use of low-carbon or “green” concrete mixes is rapidly increasing across infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects in Australia.
These mixes reduce embodied carbon by incorporating recycled content, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), or lower cement quantities.

The Challenges of Green Mixes

While this shift benefits the environment, green concrete can bring new performance issues:

• Slower early strength gain – Extended set times and delays in construction scheduling.
• Increased plastic and thermal cracking – Concrete remains vulnerable for longer due to slow hydration.
• Reduced surface densification – Lower cement content results in weaker near-surface strength and permeability issues.

DEEPCURE Repeller: The Right Partner for Green Mixes

At Integra, we’ve engineered our DEEPCURE Repeller specifically to overcome these challenges. It’s a zero-VOC curing compound and densifier that supports green mix performance without compromising sustainability.

✅ Ensures Full Hydration of Cement Content

DEEPCURE creates a deep-penetrating moisture barrier that locks in hydration. This ensures maximum strength development — even when cement content is reduced.

✅ Seals and Densifies Simultaneously

DEEPCURE Repeller acts as both a curing agent and a surface hardener. Its hydrophobic properties reduce permeability while refining pores, improving resistance to abrasion, carbonation, and chloride attack.

✅ Field-Proven on Sustainable Projects

DEEPCURE has delivered proven results across warehouses, pavements, and commercial slabs — reducing dusting, improving wear, and meeting curing specs without film-forming products or plastic sheeting.

Longevity Without Compromise

Sustainable concrete shouldn’t mean sacrificing performance. DEEPCURE Repeller allows green mixes to meet strength and durability expectations — keeping slabs crack-free, dust-free, and fully hydrated from the start.
