Description
DAY1 makes finishing concrete flatwork easier and faster. Applied during floating and troweling, DAY1 increases cream and extends workability under adverse conditions such as high wind, heat, or low humidity. It eliminates the need to add water to the surface which can lead to premature surface failure. DAY1 does not alter the water to cement ratio and becomes a permanent part of the slab so there is no membrane or residue to remove.
