APPLICATION

Opus Easytard TF should be spray applied to fresh horizontally cast concrete at a rate of 3.5m2 /litre immediately after finishing, avoid excessive trowelling of the concrete as this may seal the surface and negate the retarding action. Avoid application to free standing/bleed water. During the curing period, protect the treated surfaces from rain and frost. Removal should take place between 2-12hrs. The retarded matrix should be removed by hosing/brushing to expose the underlying aggregate. All equipment can be cleaned with water following application.

 

COVERAGE

Opus Easytard TF should be spray applied by pneumatic spray equipment at the rate of 3-5 m2 /litre. The depth of exposure is governed by the cement content, w/c ratio, etc. Trial casts should be assessed prior to use, NB. Certain admixtures hinder retarding action, again evaluate prior to use.

 

STORAGE & HANDLING

Opus Easytard TF is supplied in sealed 205 litre and 20 litre containers. No special storage facilities are needed. Spillages should be washed down to avoid slippery surfaces.
