SureCrete’s Retarder is a safe non-hazardous, water-borne liquid for cementitious products. It was designed specifically to slow the set of Sure-Tex, SureSpray, or SureStamp that are seasonally adjusted to “winter” mix design. While a more rapid set is a desirable feature for cold weather or interior applications, “winter” mix can be unmanageable in warmer weather, especially exterior applications. It can slow the rapid set of the “winter” mix.

APPLICATION
- Shake the jug well. (Some “flakes” of settled material may become suspended in the jug; these will not affect the performance Retarder is placed into the water prior to the addition of the dry bag mix.)
- The very small quantity required for retarding does not need to be factored into the total water demand.
- Mix the bag mix product as usual.
