ReflectiXTENDER
FINISHING AID
Colloidal Silica Technology
ReflectiXTENDER® is a non-film forming topical product that is applied directly onto newly placed concrete before and during the trowel machine process. XTENDER® has been formulated with colloidal silica technologies which react with lime in the cement paste forming a silica compound that retains nearly all the surface moisture; an even-hydration barrier that does not allow excessive moisture to escape which ultimately eliminates volume loss that causes shrinkage, craze cracking, spalling, and curling. This allows flatwork crews to gain unprecedented control by significantly extending the workable time in adverse weather conditions therefore reducing the risk of a slab prematurely setting.
ReflectiXTENDER® In addition to creating additional CSH/cementitious material sub-surface, XTENDER® increases the cream/paste in the ‘cap’ region which immediately improves its workability making it easier for the finishing crews to deliver a smooth, flat surface resulting in exceedingly high, stable FF/FL numbers, higher compressive strength, and surface abrasion. Using ReflectiXTENDER® significantly reduces blade friction &/or drag, operator fatigue, and trowel wear.

Reflective Floor® CPF System stops concrete deterioration failures caused by moisture intrusions, chemical attacks, and freeze-thaw cycles resulting in a moisture mitigated surface that accepts any type of flooring.
ReflectiXTENDER® does not alter the water-to-cement ratio, therefore eliminating the need to add water or accelerated chemicals which can be detrimental to the overall surface performance. It also aids in the application of shake-on hardeners in low bleed-water environments.
