Expoze Concrete Surface Retarder, from Auseal, offers precise aggregate exposure, ensuring consistently perfect exposed aggregate finishes for any project.
Expoze Concrete Surface Retarder, a product from Auseal, facilitates controlled aggregate exposure in freshly poured concrete. This product allows for a predictable delay in surface hardening, enabling consistent results across varied project conditions. Uniform aggregate presentation enhances aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
Expoze Concrete Surface Retarder for Consistently High-Quality Exposed Finishes
Product consistency delivers uniform aggregate exposure. Expoze High Tech Concrete Surface Retarder facilitates the exposure of aggregate in freshly poured concrete. Time delays in surface set off, typically ranging from 12–24 hours, are contingent upon environmental factors and concrete composition.
Natural ingredients ensure product suitability for all natural aggregates. Consistent outcomes are achieved through the product’s formulation, maintaining uniformity regardless of project scale. Precise application yields predictable finishes.
Maximising Performance: Using Expoze Concrete Surface Retarder Effectively
Effective utilisation of Expoze hinges on meticulous application and environmental consideration. Consistent coverage across the concrete surface guarantees uniform retardation, a key factor in achieving desired finishes. Proper application techniques are paramount to ensure the product functions as intended, delivering optimal exposed aggregate results.
The product boasts a suite of features designed for optimal performance and ease of use:
• Water-based orange colouring assists in even application.
• Ready to use stable water-based technology.
• Superior results.
• Economical
• Odourless
• Non-polluting.
• All natural ingredients.
• Does not compromise the final strength of the concrete.
• Anti-corrosive.
• Suitable for all natural aggregates.
• Environmentally friendly.
• Safe & non-toxic.
Using Expoze Concrete Surface Retarder Effectively
Optimal application of Expoze necessitates a uniform spray using a pressure sprayer, ideally after the initial concrete bleed. The recommended application rate is 300–400 ml per square metre, with adjustments based on on-site evaluations. Protection from environmental contaminants, such as rain and dust, is crucial to maintain consistent retardation, particularly in challenging climatic conditions.
The following is the removal guide for the product:
• Depending on conditions, 12 – 24 hours after application of Expoze, hose or pressure wash using a 3000 – 4000 psi water blaster. This reveals the attractive exposed aggregate finish to driveways, swimming pools, patios, paths, and more.
• Expoze is removable on the same day if the concrete allows.
• Site testing determines the timing of the removal process.
• After washing off the Expoze Concrete Surface Retarder, the normal setting continues. The strength of concrete is not compromised.
• Simple rinsing or pressure washing reveals the intended aggregate finish.
