Sika Rugasol C | Horizontal Concrete Surface Retarder

Professional Horizontal Concrete Surface Retarder

Rugasol C is a high-performance liquid retarder specifically formulated for horizontal construction joints and surfaces. It is ideal for use in cooler conditions or low retardation environments, providing an economical way to obtain a mechanical key for “kicker” joints, renderings, and screeds on freshly placed concrete.

Common Applications

Rugasol C eliminates the need for sandblasting, hacking, and bush hammering, leaving the aggregate unbroken and firmly embedded. It is easily spray-applied to horizontal surfaces such as:

  • Driveways and Patios
  • Floor Slabs
  • Swimming Pool Surrounds
  • Public Footpaths

Key Advantages

  • Exposed Aggregate Finish: Provides decorative finishes and excellent anti-skid properties.
  • Superior Bonding: Creates an ideal key for subsequent concreting, screeding, or rendering layers.
  • Economical: Reduces labor costs associated with mechanical surface preparation.

Coverage Rate: Approximately 3 - 5 m² per litre, per coat.
