What are the effects of humidity on the curing of concrete animal sculptures?
Humidity plays a critical role in the curing process of concrete animal sculptures, influencing their strength, durability, and final appearance. High humidity slows water evaporation, allowing for more complete hydration of cement, which enhances strength and reduces cracking. However, excessive moisture can prolong curing times and risk surface defects like efflorescence. Conversely, low humidity accelerates drying, potentially leading to weak or brittle sculptures. For optimal results, maintain moderate humidity (50-70%) during curing and protect sculptures from extreme weather. Proper humidity control ensures long-lasting, high-quality concrete art.
