Concrete retarders designed to produce exposed aggregate finishes or to create a mechanical key between concrete surfaces.
ETCHING FLUID
Water based, applied to formwork, aggressive action providing a deep etch. Suitable for creating exposed aggregate surfaces in vertical applications. Simply paint on to formwork.
RETARDÉ E
Water based, applied to concrete to etch surface and create exposed aggregate. Simply apply and hose off retarded concrete within 24 hours. Available in standard and extra strength for high strength concrete or where greater retarding is required. Use RETARDÉ E to create decorative exposed aggregate in driveways, pedestrian areas, offices, malls, etc.
RETARDÉ M
Solvent based & paint-like, applied to formwork for stop joints, etc. Used between concrete pours to create a key between concrete surfaces. Simply paint on to the formwork. May be applied well before concrete pour (however protect from sunlight and heavy rain).
