CONCRETE SURFACE RETARDERS

For Exposed Aggregate Surfaces

CONCRETE SURFACE RETARDERS are chemical formulations which retard, but do not "kill" the set of the mortar at the surface of concrete. When the underlying concrete has hardened, the retarded mortar surface can be flushed off with a stream of water and/or removed by scrubbing with a stiff brush. Since these compounds do no "kill" the set, if they are left on the concrete or unintentionally splased on other fresh concrete, they will permit the concrete to eventually attain a set and achieve full strength. CONCRETE SURFACE RETARDERS are available in two formulations to meet varying job requirements: FORMULA F is a paint-like emulsion designed for application directly to forms, FORMULA S is a neutral, sprayable liquid for application to freshly placed horizontal concrete surfaces.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

  • Safe to use - easy to apply
  • Works quickly and effectively
  • Provides up to 1/4" (6 mm) depth retardation
  • Reduces cost of preparing surfaces for waterproofing, stucco or plaster application. Eliminates need for sandblasting

PRIMARY APPLICATIONS

  • Creation of exposed aggregate surfaces
  • Precast panels
  • Decorative sidewalks and walkways
  • Bond improvement for water-proofing materials
  • Slip-resistant surfaces
  • Formulations for both horizontal and vertical applications
