Description
Safetard Gel Water-Based concrete surface retarder
Safetard Gel is a water-based surface retarder designed to delay the set of cement on concrete formwork, allowing controlled exposure of the aggregate finish.
Applied to moulds before pouring concrete, it prevents the surface layer from hardening while the underlying concrete cures normally. Once the formwork is removed, the surface can be washed to reveal a consistent exposed aggregate finish, making it ideal for decorative and architectural concrete applications.
