Sublime ease-of-use for poured-in-place concrete
Surface retarders work by preventing the topmost layer of poured-in-place flatwork from curing. Once the rest of the concrete has cured, contractors can simply wash off the top layer. This achieves a texture that's similar to the effect of sandblasting or acid washing concrete and even deeper exposure, but without any danger to workers or the environment. TOP-CAST® has characteristics that make it one of the most effective and easy-to-use surface retarders on the market.
Stands up to the elements
TOP-CAST® saves contractors on setup and installation time, and results in a more effective product. In addition, the surface retarder is designed to be extremely stable and robust, with the ability to resist temperatures of up to 150°F. Changes in weather, temperature, and humidity barely affect its efficacy.
