FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a surface passivator and how does it work?
A surface passivator is a specialized surface treatment agent designed for concrete. It temporarily delays the setting of the top layer of concrete (cement paste) to a specific depth, allowing the aggregate underneath to be exposed after washing, creating beautiful decorative flooring textures.
How do I choose the correct passivation agent depth model?
The choice depends on your aggregate size and floor type: Model 0.5 (0.5mm depth) is ideal for washed sand floor (No. 5 sand); Model 1.0 (1mm depth) is for glass sand or fine gravel (1-3mm); Model 2.0 (2mm depth) suits gravel flooring with 3-5mm aggregates; and Model 3.0 (3mm depth) is designed for washed stone walls and floors.
Can this product be applied under extreme weather conditions?
Yes, our passivation agent is formulated to be highly versatile, allowing successful application under both high and low temperature conditions while maintaining stable retarding properties.
Is the surface passivator environmentally friendly?
Yes, our formula is solvent-free and water-soluble. It complies fully with VOC volatile standards, making it safe for both indoor and outdoor construction environments.
How does the polymer film benefit the concrete during curing?
The built-in polymer film creates a protective barrier that significantly reduces moisture loss during the initial curing phase. It also protects newly poured concrete from sudden rainwater erosion, ensuring a consistent and uniform aggregate exposure.
What are the storage requirements and shelf life?
The product has a quality guarantee period of 12 months. It should be stored in its original sealed container in a cool, dry place, protected from freezing temperatures (above 32°F / 0°C).
