Overview
Description
Prime Exposure Retarder is a surface-applied chemical retarder designed specifically for creating high-quality exposed aggregate finishes in concrete by delaying the surface set time, allowing you to wash away the cement paste and reveal the underlying stone.
Key Features
- Application suitability – Ideal for horizontal concrete surfaces such as driveways, walkways, patios, and decorative slabs.
- Exposed aggregate effect – Uniformly retards surface cement paste to reveal clean, well-defined aggregate texture.
- Controlled set time – Provides predictable delay to the surface set, giving ample time for washing and finishing.
- Ease of use – Simple brush, spray, or roller application to fresh concrete with no special equipment required.
- Consistent results – Formulated for reliable, repeatable exposure depth across the entire treated area.
- Versatility – Suitable for a wide range of mix designs, aggregate sizes, and decorative concrete applications.
- Clean removal – Washes off easily during the exposure process, leaving no residue that could affect sealing or long-term performance.
