Sika® Rugasol® C

Concrete Surface Retarders

  • An easy and economical method of obtaining a mechanical key for “kicker” joints, renderings and screeds on horizontal surfaces of freshly placed concrete.
  • Eliminates the need for grit-blasting, hacking and scabbling, leaving the aggregate unbroken and firmly embedded.
  • The retarding compound in Rugasol C combines with cement at the surface and delays the normal hydration for approximately 1-2 days (high cement contents and temperatures will reduce the retardation). After this retardation has finished, the concrete cures to its full strength.
  • The depth of exposure can vary for different mix designs; however a depth of up to 4mm is normal.

Usage

Surface retarders have been specifically designed for the production of exposed aggregate finishes or for producing a mechanical key to construction joints, stop ends, or subsequent rendering applications. Liquid surface retarder for horizontal construction joints and surfaces.
