Introduction to PowerPrep Finishing Aid™

Product Overview

PowerPrep Finishing Aid™

PowerPrep Finishing Aid is the ultimate finishing aid for concrete finishers, eliminating the stickiness often associated with low-carbon concrete, such as Type 1L, while also excelling in finishing traditional OPC concrete. It improves workability and consistency, reduces labor and effort on the jobsite, and delivers exceptional results while supporting sustainability goals.

BENEFITS & ADVANTAGES

    • Enhanced Workability for Low-Carbon and OPC Concrete: Eliminates low-carbon/Type 1L stickiness, making finishing faster and easier. Extends working time in high wind and high heat conditions.
    • Hydration Control: Forms a dense, cohesive surface that enhances moisture retention in the slab, promoting better concrete curing and reduced curling. Does not increase water/cement ratio.
    • Advanced Surface Performance & Durability: Helps lubricate the troweling process while simultaneously delivering precursor chemistry that promotes more complete densification, resulting in a tighter surface with enhanced abrasion resistance and compressive strength.
    • Fully Compatible with Ashford Formula™ & RetroPlate®: Seamlessly integrates with Ashford Formula and RetroPlate densifiers to jump-start the densification and curing processes. When paired with these densifiers, the early performance of PowerPrep Finishing Aid ensures stronger, more durable floors with a robust and aesthetically pleasing finish.
    • Superior Aesthetic Results: Delivers a smooth, tight finish allowing for easier polishing with less effort. Minimizes color variations and surface blemishes.
    • Jobsite & Environmentally Friendly: Simplifies the finishing process by reducing water usage on the jobsite, promoting sustainability, and extending workability in challenging conditions.
