RUGASOL C
RUGASOL C is an easy to apply product for use on horizontal surfaces of freshly placed concrete. It achieves a uniform depth of aggregate exposure to provide a decorative architectural effect.
The retarding compound in Rugasol C combines with concrete at the surface to delay the normal hydration of cement for a depth of approximately 3 - 6 mm.
Uses
RUGASOL C is spray applied to horizontal surfaces of freshly placed concrete areas such as:-
- Floor slabs
- Driveways
- Patios
- Swimming pool surrounds
- Footpaths
- Forecourts
Advantages
- Rugasol C provides the opportunity for decorative finishes to concrete around the home, civic amenities, commercial buildings, shopping plazas etc.
- Rugasol C can be used in conjunction with many different natural aggregates, creating the opportunity for a wide range of colours and texturing effects to be achieved.
- Concrete with an exposed aggregate surface will provide excellent non skid properties, offering a surface that is both decorative and functional.
- Rugasol C is ideally suited for use on large areas of concrete such as driveways, footpaths and patios to remove the stark and monolithic appearance of plain concrete.
- Rugasol C provides an economical surface preparation to concrete that will be overlaid with a plaster or epoxy screed. This eliminates the need for sandblasting or scabbling.
RUGASOL MH
RUGASOL MH is applied directly to steel or timber formwork prior to the placement of concrete. It achieves a uniform depth of aggregate exposure at the treated surface, proving a decorative architectural effect.
RUGASOL MH retards the setting process of cement on the surface of concrete in contact with treated formwork to a depth of 3 - 5 mm.
RUGASOL MH is a dark pink, solvent based emulsion that is ready to use straight from the container.
Uses
RUGASOL MH is used for producing decorative exposed aggregate surfaces to concrete that has been cast against formwork or moulds. It is ideal for both insitu formed concrete or precast concrete units, and can be used on either horizontal or vertical surfaces.
Advantages
- Precast or insitu concrete surfaces exposed with Rugasol MH will reveal a decorative architectural finish, showing the colour and texture of natural aggregates.
- Can be applied to most types of clean formwork such as steel, timber, plywood etc.
- Ideal for use in conjunction with Rugasol C to provide constant aggregate exposure to both vertical and horizontal surfaces such as insitu stair treads and risers.
