SlabArmor™ Starter is the original colloidal silica curing/finishing aid for concrete developed in 2009, whose popularity has skyrocketed more recently with the growing use of “thirsty” low-carbon concrete using Type- 1L cement. In addition to being an excellent densifier, its hydrophilic properties hold bleed water in the capillaries of the concrete slab during the curing process, reducing shrinkage and micro-cracks in adverse weather conditions, while extending concrete working time, creating a more workable and a dense surface.
