Description
Concrete Surface Retarder Formula S is achemical formulation which retards, but does 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 this compound does not “kill” the set, if it is left on the concrete or unintentionally splashed on other fresh concrete, it will permit the concrete to eventually attain a set and achieve full strength. Concrete Surface Retarder Formula S is a neutral, sprayable liquid for application to freshly placed horizontal concrete surfaces.
