Curing refers to the time and temperature needed to develop the intended bond phase. For air setting mortars, curing is simply the air drying process. For heat setting mortars, curing is the application of external heat to form the bond. For cement bonded products, curing is the reaction of the calcium aluminate cement with the added water. Curing is normally different than the dry out process.
