CONCENTRATE & READY-TO-USE FORMULA DAY1 FINISHING AID is a colloidal silica-based topical additive that makes concrete flatwork finishing easier and faster. It produces a better result and reduces the risk of a prematurely setting slab. Applied during floating and troweling, DAY1 increases cream, making for easier, better finishing and extended workable time under adverse conditions. DAY1 does not alter the water to cement ratio. It provides moisture-retention performance similar to a liquid membrane forming curing compound. DAY1, however, becomes a permanent part of the slab so there is no...

CONCENTRATE & READY-TO-USE FORMULA TEST DATA: HADLEY RD121 (ASR) PRODUCTION OF ASR GEL CORONAS & POP-OUTS Test Duration: 72 Hours Standard: Concrete without the use of DAY1. Significant amount of Corona development with some pop-outs is due to the increased amount of free alkalis to break down the reactive aggregate. 500: Concrete finished with DAY1 used at a rate of 500 sf per gallon. The colloidal silica in the DAY1 reduces the tendency for polymerization and expansion of the ASR gel. This is possible through chemical binding / stabilization of the alkalis that would propagate ASR. 250:...

TECHNICAL INFORMATION 001: Product Description DAY1 is a colloidal silica finishing aid that lubricates the surface for faster, easier finishing. DAY1 extends workable time under adverse conditions such as high wind, heat, or low humidity. DAY1 eliminates the need to add water to the surface which can be detrimental to the surface performance of the slab. It can also be used to help finish shake-on hardeners in low bleedwater environments. Concrete with high cement, air, silica fume, or silica flower are easier to finish when DAY1 is applied. 003: Sustainability DAY1 increases the...
