Products For Concrete Contractors

Control Finish

Control Finish is a dry powdered finishing aid, packaged in an easy-to-use water soluble pack that allows for easy preparation of solutions at the jobsite. Control Finish improves concrete surface finishing characteristics without re-tempering with water, thus avoiding many common surface problems such as plastic shrinkage cracks, dusting, cracking and crazing. Sprayed on lightly and troweled in, Control Finish produces a high quality surface that is easy to finish and extremely durable. Makes stamping and addition of color hardeners much easier. Packaged in two twin inner packs in each printed bag.

Advantages

• Avoids retempering slab surface with water.
• Eliminates or reduces plastic shrinkage cracks, dusting, crazing and crusting.
• Greatly improves application of color hardeners and stamping.

Counter Flo

Counter-Flo Concrete Countertop Admixture is a mixture of water reducers and mineral admixtures specifically designed for use in the production of concrete countertops and concrete statuary. It makes concrete more flowable for easy placement without adding additional water, allowing you to reduce the water:cement ratio in your mix. By lowering water content you achieve higher compressive and structural strength, thus allowing faster demolding and a faster cure. Lower water content will also provide a denser and less permeable concrete, making the concrete less prone to staining. Use of Counter-Flo allows you to place a relatively wetter concrete, reducing the amount of air bubbles, so concrete will yield a better pattern definition.

Advantages

• Provides the concrete contractor with exactly the admixtures he needs to do his job on a daily basis.
• Our admixtures are packaged in patented water-soluble bags for convenient use at the plant, on the road or at the job site.
• Heavy-duty, watertight carrying case.
• Handy waterproof field guide and usage directions.
• Product Bulletins and Material Safety Data Sheets included, complying with jobsite safety regulations.
• All our products meet or exceed applicable ASTM standards.

Compatibility

Counter-Flo is compatible with most concrete and cement admixtures. If adding other admixtures, they should be added separately into the mix. Testing of compatibility with other admixtures is required prior to production use. Counter-Flo does not contain calcium chloride, nitrates or other potentially corrosive materials.

Expo Rock

Expo Rock is a surface retarder. Apply to freshly placed concrete wherever decorative, textured or non-skid surfaces are needed, such as roadways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks.

Advantages

• Expo-Rock gives a clean, professional, even look to exposed aggregate finishes. The concentrated retarder keeps mortar from sticking to the aggregate. It allows even removal of mortar from the slab surface.
• Packaged in water soluble bags. Just prepare what you need. Material in a dry form does not need to be protected from freezing.
• Easily mixed with water in the field. Only 5-10 minutes of mixing are required. For large jobs the solution can be prepared the day before. One bag prepares one gallon of solution, eliminating the need to store and carry heavy drums of product.
• Contains a tracer dye for easy and even spraying. The dye provides a yellow-green color for easy identification. The dye will decompose in sunlight after drying, so there is no problem with overspray or staining of forms, equipment or clothing.
• No fumes, VOCs or smell. Since it is prepared with water, there are no unpleasant or noxious smells. It can be safely applied in areas with low ventilation.
• Formulated with thickeners for easier spraying, less misting and less dripping. The thickeners eliminate the accumulation of material in low spots that gives uneven results. The spray pattern is also better, since it reduces fine mist blowing in windy conditions.
• Expo Rock is non-toxic and biodegradable. It does not contain harmful biocides, or require special storage. Safe for applicators.
• Reduces storage space. Since packaged Expo-Rock is concentrated and does not contain water, it reduces storage space and can easily be transported to jobsites.
