By restoring the concrete matrix, PowerPrep LC enables the slab to attain its intended hardness quicker, and further enhances its strength when densified with chemical densifiers like Ashford Formula™ or RetroPlate® .  \nWhy Choose PowerPrep LC?  \nPowerPrep LC, when paired with Ashford Formula or RetroPlate, ensures low-carbon and Type 1L concrete achieves its intended hardness efficiently, overcoming the slower strength gains common in these mix designs. This combination accelerates the hardening process to meet critical benchmarks, such as achieving a Mohs hardness level of 4+ for polishing and providing a durable surface capable of withstanding heavy equipment and resisting damage from ongoing construction activities.  \nKEY BENEFITS  \nPowerPrep LC must be paired with Ashford Formula or RetroPlate to deliver the following benefits:  \n Accelerates Slab Strength and Enhances Performance:  \nWorks synergistically with Ashford Formula or RetroPlate to ensure low-carbon and Type 1L concrete achieves expected hardness more quickly, overcoming slower strength gainsand optimizing slab performance.  \n Achieves Hardness Benchmarks: Helps slabs quickly reach a surface hardness of Mohs level 4+, critical for polishing processes.  \n Protects Floor from Damage: Strengthens slabs to withstand heavy construction equipment and trades, reducing surface damage risks.  \n Prevents Project Delays: Ensures slabs are ready for subsequent operations, avoiding setbacks caused by slower hardening.  \n Supports Green Construction Goals: Enables low-carbon concrete to perform comparably to OPC concrete, balancing sustainability with functionality.  \n Peace of Mind for Stakeholders: Ensures concrete performance expectations are met while preventing costly setbacks.  \nLIMITATIONS  \n PowerPrep LC has been rigorously tested and validated exclusively with Ashford Formula and RetroPlate, ensuring superior performance with these densifiers.  \nlow-carbon  \nconcrete solution  \nFaster Slab Hardness, Ensures Maximum Densification!  \nTechnical Info  \nForm: Whitish liquid  \nOdor: Slight odor  \nFlash Point: 320 °F (160 °C)  \nFreezing: Do not allow to freeze  \npH: 10.96  \nPackaging: 1 gal (3.79 L) Jug  \n5 gal (18.9 L) Pail  \n55 gal (208 L) Drum Storage: 6 months; store indoors  \nCoverage: 160-200 ft²/gal  \n4-5 m²/L  \nVOC: No VOCs  \nEnsuring Concrete Hardness and Slab Readiness  \nPowerPrep LC offers contractors a powerful solution to achieve maximum densification by enhancing the chemistry within low-carbon concrete, increasing the volume of densification sites, and reaching—or even exceeding—the desired hardness typically expected from OPC when paired with Ashford Formula or RetroPlate. Average testing at 14 days has yielded a 7.5 Mohs hardness from a starting point of 3, proving how pretreating with PowerPrep LC maximizes the densification, performance, and durability of low-carbon concrete.  \nPerforming a Mohs Hardness Test (scratch test) on low-carbon concrete floors before and after applying PowerPrep LC and a chemical densifier is an essential quality control step. The test helps assess the slab’s initial condition and confirms the effectiveness of the application.  \nTo learn how to properly perform a Mohs Hardness Test, please scan the code to  watch the video.  \nHow to Perform a Mohs Hardness Test  \nCurecrete 1203 Spring Creek Place, Springville, UT 84663 USA phone 801.489.5663 free 800.998.5664 [www. curecrete. com](www. curecrete. com)  \nFrom the Makers of Ashford FormulaTM and the Retro Plate ® System  \n Application Instructions  \nSurface Preparation  \nEnsure the surface is clean and free of debris by using CreteClean Plus with Scar Guard™ to prepare the floor properly for treatment.
