ACC Micro Finish Gel

Paul — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 20:47:46 +0000

Micro Finish Gel is a new way to acid etch concrete in a controlled acid etching gel. It is formulated in gel form which helps to limit fumes, control uniformity and adherence to vertical surfaces. Ideal for simulated limestone finishes, for field applications, patching including vertical surfaces and as a preparatory step prior to the application of coatings in the place of sandblasting or even light shot blasting. Will not interfere with waterproofing or other coatings to be subsequently applied to the etched surface.

Altus & Optimus – Vertical and Horizontal Construction Joint Applications

Paul — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:21:49 +0000

Generally, when specifying chemical retarders on cast-in-place concrete
applications there should be references to both the formwork specifications as well
as the use and proper application of the retarder specified along with the placing
and finishing operations in the concrete sections. This is particularly important if
the contractors producing each are not the same. In most cases we would generally
recommend generating a separate architectural concrete specification inclusive of
all the preparation work, concrete placement and appropriate finishing required to
complete the project correctly. Click below for complete guide information.
