Aardcure AA – Concrete Evaporation Retarder

Aardcure AA – Concrete Evaporation Retarder

Aardcure AA is a low-viscosity, water-based aliphatic alcohol solution specially designed to reduce rapid surface moisture loss during the critical finishing phase of freshly placed concrete. Its advanced formulation performs exceptionally well under high temperatures, low humidity, and windy conditions—maintaining a plastic, workable surface that supports quality finishing and reduces the risk of plastic shrinkage.

Coloured concrete, stamped finishes, dry shakes, and major infrastructure pours like roads and bridges benefit from Aardcure AA’s performance. Compatible with wood float, hand trowel, or machine-finished surfaces, the product features a purple fugitive dye for application visibility and evaporates during finishing without affecting cement hydration or adhesion of after trades.
