    Product
    Description

    Rugasol G is an economical surface retarder for concrete or mortar which is to be


    overlaid or abutted with a plaster, epoxy screed or another layer of concrete.
    After the concrete or mortar has cured, its surface is washed off and the aggregates
    will be exposed. This eliminates the need for sand blasting or scabbling.
    It is also used to achieve a decorative exposed aggregate finish.

    Application
    Instructions
    Application on to
    Fresh Concrete

    Placing of Concrete
    The concrete is placed and compacted in the normal manner. It is then trowelled or
    floated.
    Application

    Thoroughly mix Rugasol G with water (mix ratio Rugasol G : Water = 1 : 2).
    The solution obtained is stable.
    Immediately after the bleed water has disappeared from the concrete and before

    setting has started, spray diluted Rugasol G directly on the concrete surface with a
    minimum pressure of 3 bars. It is essential that a uniform rate of coverage be
    achieved.

    Note: Diluted Rugasol G should never be applied to the formwork.


    Removal
    After initial cure of the concrete has taken place (up to 24 hours in warm weather)
    the soft cement laitance on the surface can be washed, brushed or water-jetted
    away to reveal the exposed aggregate.
    Note: The depth of exposure can vary depending on the cement content of the

    concrete, ambient temperature, the amount of Rugasol G and the time it is left on
    the concrete surface before removal. However, an etch depth of 4 mm is normal.
    Preliminary trials are recommended.
    Application on to
    Formwork Surface

    Mixing

    Rugasol G is supplied ready-to-use for this application and should not be diluted.
    Application

    Formwork should be clean and free from any form release agent. Rugasol G shall
    be applied with a brush.
    A thorough and uniform rate of coverage is required to achieve a uniform and even
    depth of etch.

    Rugasol G should be protected from direct sunlight after application. It is

    necessary that the layer of Rugasol G dry completely before concreting takes

    place. While drying, Rugasol G shall be protected from water and rain.
    Removal
    For optimum results, forms or moulds should be removed as soon as possible after
    the concrete has gained sufficient strength; normally 24 to 48 hours in warm
    weather.
    Wash, brush or water-jet the surface to reveal the exposed aggregate.
    Some of the soft cement paste will adhere to the forms when the mould is stripped.
    This can be removed easily from both the formwork and the concrete while still soft
    by washing and brushing.
    Always clean moulds immediately after stripping as the soft cement paste will soon
    harden.
    Cleaning of Tools

    Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
    Hardened and/or cured material can only be mechanically removed.
