DAY1® Finishing Aid

Brickform DAY1 is a colloidal silica-based finishing aid 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 finishing aid increases cream and extends workability under adverse conditions such as high wind, heat, or low humidity. It eliminates the need to add water to the surface which can lead to premature surface failure. DAY1 does not alter the water-to-cement ratio and becomes a permanent part of the slab so there is no membrane or residue to remove.
