No Curing compound in the world can achieve the 100% results to avoid curing by water.
There are mainly 3 types of curing compound
water base
wax base and
resin base
resin base performs better among them and could achieve results up to 90% of that when compared with concrete made by curing with water.
All the compound types have there own advantages and disadvantages.
Curing by application of curing compound is not feasible idea and is like a rejected technology.
It is used only where, you do not have water for curing and have money in pocket to compensate the 10% loss of strength by increasing cement content in mix or using one higher grade concrete than specified.
