  • Patent number: 10052791
    Abstract: A method of curing concrete including the steps of providing a concrete curing blanket and covering the concrete with the concrete curing blanket to keep the concrete hydrated during the curing process. The concrete and the concrete curing blanket are soaked with water, to thoroughly hydrate the concrete and the concrete curing blanket. The concrete curing blanket includes an absorbent sheet comprising a wicking layer, super absorbent materials, and a tissue layer, with the super absorbent materials being positioned between the wicking layer and the tissue layer; and a vapor barrier bonded to the tissue layer of the absorbent sheet. The vapor barrier has a plurality of perforations.
