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.

Prime Exposure Hydrochloric Acid is a powerful cleaning and etching solution designed to prepare concrete surfaces before sealing or coating. It removes stubborn contaminants and opens the concrete’s pores, ensuring superior adhesion and long-lasting finishes for both new and existing slabs.

Key Features

• Application suitability – Ideal for use on bare or unsealed concrete surfaces in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
• Cleaning – Effectively removes dirt, grime, laitance, and light surface contaminants to restore a clean substrate.
• Etching – Chemically etches the concrete surface to create a uniform, textured profile for optimal coating bond.
• Surface preparation – Prepares concrete for sealers, paints, epoxies, and other coatings by improving penetration and adhesion.
• Effectiveness – Fast-acting formula delivers consistent results with minimal dwell time when used as directed.
• Versatility – Suitable for driveways, patios, garages, workshops, and other concrete areas requiring pre-coating treatment.
• Professional results – Helps achieve a smooth, even finish and enhances the performance and durability of subsequent coatings.
