Reliable DOT™ features a perforated vapor barrier applied to one side to help minimize concrete overheating, maintain moisture levels and provide protection against UV degradation.
With proper installation, Reliable DOT™ provides constant hydration and maintains a 100% relative humidity condition on the bridge deck for wet curing durations up to 14 days. As with all Reliable™ products, Reliable DOT™ lays flat on the concrete, helping to prevent foreign material including dust, debris and contaminants to reach the surface.
Each 800 foot roll of Reliable DOT™ can absorb 55 gallons of curing water providing the critical moisture required for the long term wet curing of bridge decks. With typical application and proper installation, Reliable DOT™ helps reduce material costs, installation labor, and totally eliminates the need of costly storage and transportation of multi-use curing blankets.
Vertical applications typically require periodic re-wetting. Reliable DOT™ will require much less water than traditional methods.
