PRODUCT INFORMATION & RESOURCES

DESCRIPTION:
CEMIX REVEAL is a ready to use, water based retarder, designed to remove cement from green concrete to produce an exposed, decorative finish to the surface.

TYPICAL USES:
CEMIX REVEAL can be used on any horizontal concrete substrate. It can also be used to prepare concrete construction joints for better bonding.

ADVANTAGES:

– Textured finish produces a non-skid surface

COVERAGE:

Approximately 5m2 per litre of product.

PREPARATION:

All substrates should be structurally sound, securely fastened and properly supported to eliminate any movement that may cause cracking.

APPLICATION:

1. Sir before use.

2. Apply the undiluted product to the green substate in a uniform manner.

3. Generally within 12 to 24 hours after application, remove the retarded top layer of concrete with a stiff broom and immediately hose down.

The product will produce an approximately 3mm to 6mm etch. A test area is recommended before application to determine the timing for the depth of etch required.

Note: If extremely small aggregates have been used, do not start the wash off too early as bare spots may be created.

DRYING & CURING TIME:

Temperatures lower than 20°C will increase the period of retardation. If the wash off is not completed within 12 to 24 hours, the surface concrete can set and reach full strength.

CLEANING:

Clean tools with water immediately after use.

STORAGE & SHELF LIFE:

Up to 12 months when stored in the original, unopened packaging, in a dry place at 23°C and 50% relative humidity.

LIMITATIONS:

It is recommended not to add any accelerator admixtures to the concrete when using CEMIX REVEAL.
