Concrete deactivator - Naturcem

Naturcem® is a positive surface concrete deactivator based on water. Its main function consists of slowing down and delaying in a controlled manner the setting of the concrete.

Ready to use and fully biodegradable, it delays the hydration of the cement on the surface exposed to the concrete. This concrete deactivator contributes to reducing the ecological footprint, as it is free of solvents.

A product that is especially indicated for making decorative pavements from the controlled deactivation of the curing of the concrete. It is not necessary to previously protect any surrounding area, except on facades that are painted and on porous surfaces.

Depending on the color, the degree of attack, and the size of the aggregate, we find three types of concrete deactivators: Naturcem® Low, Naturcem® Medium, and Naturcem® High.

Presentation

The Naturcem® concrete deactivator is available in 5 and 25 liter containers.

Naturcem® Low Logo

Naturcem® Low concrete deactivator

As previously mentioned, our positive surface concrete deactivators are divided based on the color of the liquid, the degree of attack of each one, and the size of their aggregate.

As for Naturcem® Low, the main features of this concrete setting retarder are:

  • The color of the liquid is blue
  • Offers a degree of attack 2
  • The dimension of your aggregate is between 5 and 8 mm
Naturcem® Medium Logo

Naturcem® Medium concrete deactivator

On the other hand, the particularities of the Naturcem® Medium concrete deactivator are:

  • The color of the liquid is pink
  • Guarantees a level 4 attack
  • Its aggregate has a size between 10 and 14 mm.

It should be noted, that on-site tests under general conditions will be necessary to accurately define the exposure depth. A depth that is conditioned by the dose, the type of cement used and the outside temperature, among other factors.

Naturcem® High Logo

Naturcem® High concrete deactivator

Lastly, and no less important, is Naturcem® High. It forms the concrete deactivator with the highest degree of attack and aggregate size of Topciment.

A concrete deactivator that, like its predecessors, must be applied at ambient and support temperatures between 5ºC and 30ºC without excessive wind. The peculiarities of this positive surface retardant are:

  • Yellow is the color of the liquid
  • Provides a degree of attack 5
  • The aggregate size is between 14 and 18 mm

It should be noted, that on-site tests under general conditions will be necessary to accurately define the exposure depth. A depth that is conditioned by the dose, the type of cement used and the outside temperature, among other factors.
