Corps of Engineers 'Standard Practice for Concrete' prohibits use of curing compounds on concrete surfaces that are to be painted. Since substantial savings might be effected on some construction if curing compounds were available that could be painted over, a study was made to learn if there are curing compounds that can be successfully used as a base for paint, and to evaluate any located. A market analysis located six suitable compounds: two chlorinated rubber and epoxy base, two chlorinated rubber and paraffin base, a styrene-butadiene base, and an alkyd-base material. Seven paints were selected for testing with each curing compound: (a) exterior acrylic; (b) exterior polyvinyl acetate; (c) exterior and interior styrene-butadiene-acrylate; (d) exterior and interior epoxy polyamide; (e) interior, first coat latex, second coat alkyd; and (f) interior latex. To test the curing compounds, small concrete panels were coated with each compound; half were painted at 5 days and companion panels were painted at 60 days age; control panels were prepared by painting directly over the panels; test and control panels were exposed to various weathering conditions for 20 months. Results showed that all six curing compounds can be painted with most of the paints with no adverse effect when exposed indoors at moderate temperatures. For outdoors exposure in a moderate climate, painting over the compounds with exterior polyvinyl acetate paint produced a more durable surface than painted concrete. Styrene-butadiene-acrylate paint, however, did not produce as durable a painted surface as concrete. (Author).
The tests reported herein are a part of an investigation to evaluate membrane forming compounds that can be used for curing concrete surfaces that may there-after serve as a base for paint. This supplemental phase was conducted to evaluate one curing compound with four paints. One white pigmented resin-wax based curing compound was tested with four selected paints: (a) an exterior polyvinyl-acetate amulsion paint, (b) an exterior and interior styrene-butadiene-acrylate paint, (c) an interior paint, first coat latex, second coat alkyd, and (d) an interior latex paint. Small concrete panels were molded and coated with the curing compound, then half were painted at one-week age and companion panels were painted at two-months age. Control panels were prepared for comparative purpose by painting directly over the panels after they were cured and dried.

Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects is issued primarily for constructing roads and bridges on Federal Highway projects under the direct administration of the Federal Highway Administration. It is also used by the U. S. Forest Service and other Federal agencies on their projects. These specifications are cited as "FP-14" indicating "Federal Project" Standard Specifications issued in 2014 and contain both United States Customary and Metric units of measure. This book outlines the contractual process, including bids, Scope of Work for projects, including materials, construction requirements, equipment, glossary of terms, and much more. Road construction companies, and supply management vendors for the equipment, tools, and pipes needed for constructing Federal highways, as well as engineers, Federal, state, and local Government agencies may be interested to have a copy of this authoritative work available as a reference for any current, and/or future road construction projects
