DAY1® Concrete Finishing Aid

DAY1 is a colloidal silica finishing aid that lubricates the surface for faster, easier finishing.

DAY1 extends workable time under adverse conditions such as high wind, heat, or low humidity.

DAY1 eliminates the need to add water to the surface which can be detrimental to the surface performance of the slab. It can also be used to help finish shake-on hardeners in low bleedwater environments.

Concrete with high cement, air, silica fume, or silica flower are easier to finish when DAY1 is applied

Coverage per Gallon:  Finishing Aid 500 – 1000 sq.ft.  Performance Concrete  250 – 500 sq.ft.

Evapre Evaporation Retardant

EVAPRE evaporation retardant is an economical, high quality, water-based compound. It is specifically designed to form a thin monomolecular film to reduce rapid moisture loss from the concrete surfaces prior to curing. EVAPRE provides a significant aid in producing high-quality concrete flatwork. Rapid evaporation of water is retarded, slab surface conditions are normalized, and workers can adhere more closely to established finishing schedules. EVAPRE is also VOC-compliant.

SlabArmor System

SlabArmor Starter

SlabArmor™ Starter is a colloidal silica concrete curing/finishing aid and hardener used in the placement and finishing of new concrete. Its hydrophilic property holds bleed water in the capillaries of the concrete slab during the curing process, reducing shrinkage and micro-cracks, creating a more workable and a dense surface. SlabArmor Starter Technical Data Sheet

SlabArmor Closer

SlabArmor™ Closer is the second step in the SlabArmor system. This colloidal silica densifier/hardener is applied after power troweling has been completed. A single application is applied to the surface and requires no scrubbing or rinsing. Its reactive formula penetrates deep within the capillaries of the substrate to form insoluble calcium-silica-hydrate, hardening and densifying the substrate. SlabArmor Closer Technical Data Sheet

SlabArmor Seal & Shine Finish

Seal&Shine Finish is the final step in the SlabArmor™ system, intended to be applied after the placement and finishing process. This high-performance, high-gloss finish, seals, protects and extends the life of your SlabArmor™ floor, eliminating the need for waxes, polishes or acrylics. Once cured, the extremely hard microfilm improves your floors’ resistance to stains and abrasion while increasing the reflectivity of overhead lighting potentially reducing energy costs from lighting. Seal&Shine Finish is low VOC, non-toxic and non-hazardous. SlabArmor SealShine Finish Technical Data Sheet
