During the curing process, trapped air bubbles are formed that are what ultimately allow moisture to enter the slab after it has fully set. As unpolished and unsealed concrete has a porous structure, it allows moisture to fill the trapped air spaces created by air bubbles. Concrete can be adversely affected by this moisture, which can lead to cracks and weakened concrete, as well as fungi growing in it in worst-case scenarios.
