HEBAU retarder papers for precise and high-quality exposed concrete surfaces
HEBAU retarder papers are the ideal solution for producing washed or finely washed concrete surfaces. Whether for concrete paving stones, stair treads, facade elements, or other precast concrete parts – with these high-quality papers, you can achieve consistent, precise, and visually appealing results. Our exposed aggregate concrete papers are the result of decades of experience and continuous development. The special backing paper has a water-repellent backing, ensuring stability and ease of handling. An industrially applied and dried exposed aggregate retarder is used on the front side, ensuring a reliable and controlled surface texture.
The application is extremely simple: The paper is applied to the desired concrete surface and after curing is washed out. This creates a consistent, high-quality surface that optimally showcases the structure and color of the concrete.
Another advantage: The exposed aggregate concrete papers are suitable for almost all concrete formulations and dimensions. Thanks to various washout depths, sheet sizes and roll widths, the products can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements. Whether for small detailed surfaces or large-scale applications – there is a suitable solution for every project.
Thanks to their easy processing and reliable performance the papers are not only economical but also technically impressive. They enable the efficient production of exposed aggregate and architectural concrete surfaces that meet the highest functional and aesthetic standards.
