When diluted with water at a 9:1 ratio, it forms a thin, uniform film that helps keep the surface plastic and finishable for longer, supporting better curing under challenging UK conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcentrated product supplied as a ready-to-dilute solution; mix 1 part concentrate with 9 parts water (9:1 ratio).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForms a monomolecular evaporation-retarding film on the concrete surface to slow moisture loss.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEffective in adverse conditions, including high temperatures, low humidity, strong winds, direct sunlight and heated interior environments.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage: approximately 2000–4000 sq ft (186–372 m2) per 3.78 L after mixing; approximately 10,000–20,000 sq ft (929–1858 m2) per 18.92 L after mixing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeaves no surface finish and does not interfere with adhesion of subsequent curing or sealing compounds.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable for freshly placed concrete where extended finishability and reduced surface drying are desired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReduces surface moisture loss by about 80% in windy conditions and about 40% in direct sunlight, helping maintain surface plasticity during curing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtends the time the surface remains finishable, supporting smoother, more consistent finishing operations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDoes not affect the adhesion of later curing or sealing treatments, protecting downstream workmanship.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEconomical coverage at recommended dilutions, making it suitable for larger pours and varied site conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigned for UK construction environments where external exposure and drying risks are common.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bon Tool","offers":[{"title":"(32-316)  1 Gallon","offer_id":57058226700662,"sku":"32-316","price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"(32-301)  5 Gallons","offer_id":57058226733430,"sku":"32-301","price":222.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2114\/5867\/files\/bon-tool-concentrated-evaporation-retarder-4133168.jpg?v=1769381229","url":"https:\/\/armstrongsupplies.co.uk\/products\/concentrated-evaporation-retarder","provider":"Armstrong Cheshire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
