Surface Etch

Helix Surface Etch is applied to freshly placed concrete to slow the hardening of the cement by temporarily deactivating the hydration process, which is washed away to reveal a beautiful exposed finish. Surface Etch develops a polymer film that acts as a water barrier and curing compound, protecting the concrete from incidental rain and inhibiting the evaporation of the mix water. The top of the cast concrete has a resulting sand finish unlike any hand-washed or sandblasted concrete finish on the marketplace.

Surface Etch is available in eight varying degrees of exposure, ranging from light acid wash to heavy aggregate exposure. Each formulation is blended to a specific pH to counteract the high pH of Portland cement. This exacting pH makes for consistent depths of etch that are unachievable with traditional exposing products.

  • Available in eight levels of exposure, from Light Acid Wash to Extra Heavy Exposure

  • Approximately 500-600 feet per gallon per coat

  • Available in 5-gallon containers

Grit Additives

Helix Polygrit

A blend of powdered, modified polymers, Helix Polygrit is a polymeric grit coating additive used with sealers and other coatings to provide traction in potentially slippery surfaces. Typically used on garage floors, kitchens, commercial entry areas, steep inclines, pool and spa decks, and more. Helix Polygrit is used primarily with solvent-based sealers but can also be mixed into water-based sealers.

  • 4 oz by weight of CSI Polygrit per gallon of sealer

  • Available in in 4 oz and 20 oz pre-weighed plastic bags or plastic pails
