SMOOTHER SURFACEFINISH WITH PROBLEMSOLVER CHRYSO®FiniSafe

That concrete hardens faster when the sun is shining is probably something everyone who works with concrete has experienced. The surface becomes harder than the smoothing machine can handle, you struggle to scrub the concrete by hand where the machine cannot reach and you struggle with watering the surface to bring the concrete to life. But watering concrete unfortunately has a number of disadvantages. The end result will be flaming and there is a risk of delamination – the top surface releasing after a short time. When you add water, there is also an imbalance in the quality of the concrete and the performance is simply worse.

To remedy the problem, Chryso has developed the product FiniSafe, which makes the surface easy to work with without the negative effects you get when you water the concrete. The product works to separate the cement grains and thus slow down the hydration, which makes the concrete soft to work with and you get a final result with an even color that you can proudly deliver to your customer.

– Our customers use Finisafe daily to facilitate surface work and improve the surface finish, both in prefab concreteelements and factory-delivered concrete, says Marcus Hermansson at Chryso.

Finisafe is designed to react quickly with the cement paste, which gives the opportunity to work faster with the surface when time is running out.

You can also see an advantage with a clearly reduced workload on the staff, as shoulders can take a large part of load damage.

Advantages of FiniSafe:

  • Fits just as well on factory concrete as on prefabricated concrete elements.
  • Once applied, the concrete can be given other surface treatments without further preparation
  • Facilitates colored and brushed concrete
  • Gives a nicer surface finish
