What Is Aggresol-F?
Aggresol-F is a water-soluble paste surface retarder for concrete that works by chemically delaying the set of the surface cement paste while the underlying slab cures normally. Once the slab has reached sufficient strength, the retarded surface layer is washed away with water and a brush, exposing the aggregate below for a clean, decorative finish.
Its green pigmentation serves a practical purpose on the job site, it's immediately visible on the fresh concrete surface, making it easy to confirm complete, even coverage with no missed areas before the slab sets.
