Mortar Set Retarder is a white powdered set retarder packaged for use in prepackaged mortar or concrete. It slows down set times without affecting compressive strength. It is ready for easy dosing ­no premixing is required. Since Mortar Set Retarder is white, it will not affect colors in concrete, so it is ideal for decorative concrete work. No special handling, storage or transportation expense is required.

1. Tear or cut open the plastic bag.
2. Pour powdered contents into the wet mortar or concrete mix.
3. Mix thoroughly for 5 minutes to ensure complete dispersion of the
Mortar Set Retarder throughout the mix.
