CHRYSO®Tard CXR

Top-surface retarder

Description

CHRYSO® Tard CXR is a Non-Staining retarder for Exposing Aggregate from Concrete. This retards the concrete surface to a depth of approx.4 to6mm when a thin layer is applied on newly placed concrete.

Domains of application

 Preferably sprayed on the newly laid concrete surface after the surface water evaporated in the big surface area like raft concrete.

The treated surface with CHRYSO® Tard CXR should be washed with jet water after the bottom concrete get set / attend initial setting to expose the aggregate for subsequent fresh concreting /  other treatments for aesthetic look.
