Abstracts: In some arid region when lack of water available for curing purpose ,by the help of self curing concrete ,the problem of lack of water is eliminated. Self curing concrete is absorb water from atmosphere from air to achieve better hydration of cement. Due to lack of curing of cement hydration is lowered. So self curing concrete eliminated this problem. It reduces the labour work and curing days, in this method increase compressive strength and reduces early age cracking problem. Self curing agent polyethylene glycol is condensation of polymer of ethylene oxide and water. These water soluble polymer having hydroxide(-OH-) and ether (-O-)groups were found self cured chemical
