• Suitable for casting, spraying, and hand-layup techniques
• Dependable long-term performance
• Available in multiple sizes for various production scales

Instructions

Instructions for use of the admixture to enhance concrete mixes for GFRC, countertop, and decorative applications.

General Use

• Use as a partial or full replacement for mix water.
• Follow the recommended mix design for your application.
• Do not dilute unless specified by the mix formula.

Mixing

• Shake or stir thoroughly before use.
• Measure accurately using a graduated container.
• Add to the mixer after dry ingredients are blended, or pre-blend with pigments.
• Mix until smooth and homogeneous.
• Avoid over-mixing to prevent excess air.

Application

• Apply using standard casting, spraying, or hand-pack methods.
• Improves flow, workability, and bonding while reducing cracking and shrinkage.
• Working time depends on temperature, mix design, and cement type.

Curing

• Proper curing is critical.
• Keep concrete damp and protected from rapid moisture loss during early cure.
• Maintain curing conditions at ≥18°C.
• Avoid forced drying.
• Follow recommended curing schedules before demolding, polishing, or sealing.

Compatibility & Warnings

• Use only with approved materials and mix designs.
• Do not substitute other polymers or water reducers unless tested.
• Perform a small test batch when using new pigments, aggregates, or reinforcement.

Cleanup & Storage

• Clean tools with water before material dries.
• Dispose of waste according to local regulations.
• Store in a cool, dry place and use within the stated shelf life for best performance.
