Purpose:
An easy-to-use product for producing exposed aggregate concrete flatwork. Top-Etch does not stop concrete from curing, but it will temporarily halt the set of Portland cement at the surface while the concrete below the surface continues to cure normally. Once the concrete underneath has hardened, the surface concrete can be washed or brushed away, exposing the aggregate. Available in two strengths: regular (blue) and deep (red).
Uses:
Suitable for a wide variety of applications that require exposed aggregate.
Suggested Applications
 | Decorative Flatwork: Sidewalks, patios, driveways, showrooms |
| Bonding Surfaces: Roughens surfaces to create stronger bond with toppings |
| Construction Joints: Roughens horizontal surfaces for construction joints in plants and dams |
