UltraFinish™ 1L

Product Description

UltraFinish™ 1L is a colloidal silica admixture designed to enhance the performance of concrete containing Type 1L Portland Limestone Cement.
UltraFinish™ 1L is a a non-chloride, non-corrosive additive that enhances and improves the performance of plastic and hardened ready mix concrete.
UltraFinish™ 1L allows contractors to place and finish concrete at designed w/c ratios with ease. Workability is increased without requiring additional water. Finishers can maintain control of surfaces, even in adverse weather conditions such as high wind and rapid evaporation.
UltraFinish™ 1L helps achieve denser, more durable, and longer lasting concrete surfaces.

Performance Benefits

• Prevents the rapid migration of internal water.
• Promotes early internal curing through water retention. Does not replace an ASTM C309 topical curing compound
• Improves viscosity for exceptional finishability
• Can be used as a viscosity modifier in the production of self-consolidating concrete.
• Enhanced slump retention for reduced jobsite retempering
• Reduces segregation in high slump mixes
• Promotes early and more efficient cement hydration
• Reduces the potential for plastic shrinkage cracking, curling, and crazing
• Surface densification and permeability reduction
• Allows for placement of lower w/c ratio concrete for enhanced surface durability
• Added benefits when used co-actively with Impede® IntraSeal integral water repellent.
