Enter Forti-Trowel™, Chemforce’s groundbreaking colloidal silica troweling aid – the game-changer for concrete finishing pros seeking smoother, faster results.

This innovative nano-silica finishing aid lubricates wet slabs, extends workable time, and builds lasting durability, all while being eco-friendly and Aussie-made.

Whether you’re battling low-water mixes or hot-weather challenges, Forti-Trowel™ is your ticket to outstanding concrete troweling and superior slab performance. Let’s explore how this troweling compound for concrete revolutionises your workflow.

What Makes Forti-Trowel™ the Top Choice for Concrete Troweling Aids?

Designed specifically as a finishing aid for freshly poured concrete, Forti-Trowel™ harnesses cutting-edge nano-silica technology to transform the troweling process.

Unlike traditional aids that can gum up tools or fade under UV, this water-based wonder – proudly manufactured in Australia – delivers zero VOCs, UV resistance, and a safer, non-caustic pH. It’s not just about getting the job done; it’s about elevating your concrete slab finishing to professional perfection, reducing labour overhead and enhancing long-term slab integrity.

Unlock Game-Changing Benefits: Why Pros Swear by Forti-Trowel™ for Smooth Concrete Finishing

In the world of concrete troweling, every second counts. Forti-Trowel™ stands out with its special spherical nano-silica particles that provide instant lubrication to the wet slab surface, making it the ideal troweling aid for concrete slabs. Here’s how it supercharges your pours:

• Lightning-Fast Helicopter Troweling with Ultra-Smooth Results: The spherical nano particles reduce friction, allowing your helicopter trowel to glide effortlessly for quicker passes and a buttery-smooth finish. Say goodbye to drag and hello to efficiency on large-scale fresh concrete slabs.
• Tames Sticky Mixes for Effortless Roller Screeding: Perfect for low-water content, plasticised, or pozzolan-enriched concretes, Forti-Trowel™ dramatically reduces stickiness. This means cleaner, easier roller screeding without buildup, ensuring even levelling and a professional edge every time.
• Builds Denser Slabs by Slowing Evaporation: As it works its magic, Forti-Trowel™ forms complex silicate structures in the concrete’s outer layer, shrinking pores and slowing water loss. This leads to stronger, more durable surfaces that resist cracking – especially valuable in warm weather, where it may even extend your troweling window (though we advise against pouring above 32°C for best practices).
• Safer, Greener, and Built to Last: With a lower pH that’s gentle on skin and surfaces, plus full UV stability, this zero-VOC troweling aid is safe for crews and compliant with green building standards. It’s the sustainable choice for indoor garages, outdoor patios, or industrial floors.

For next-level protection, follow up with Forti-Col EG™ – our premium colloidal silica densifier – about 2-4 hours post-pour. This duo seals in moisture for optimal slab curing, densification, and anti-dusting, creating slabs that perform for decades.

Step-by-Step: How to Use Forti-Trowel™ for Pro-Grade Concrete Slab Finishing

Getting that flawless finish is simpler than ever with Forti-Trowel™. This ready-to-use nano-silica trowel aid requires no mixing – spray and go. Here’s your foolproof guide to mastering concrete troweling on freshly poured slabs:

1. Prep and Initial Application

• Right after pouring, grab your pump sprayer and apply a generous, even coat of Forti-Trowel™ across the entire wet slab surface. Work quickly to cover it all before the initial setting begins.
• Pro Tip for Roller Screeding: If using a roller screed, spray an even layer beforehand. This prevents concrete from clinging to the roller, delivering a leveller, cleaner screed every time.

2. Trowel Like a Pro

• Immediately start helicopter troweling as usual – the lubrication will make your machine dance across the surface for faster, smoother results.
• Spot-check as you go: In areas that feel resistant, give a quick additional spray of Forti-Trowel™ to keep things gliding.

3. Finish Strong with Safety in Mind

• Important Safety Note: Your trowel will move more freely than expected, so ease up near edges to avoid overshooting the slab. Safety first – protect your crew and your pour!
• Do Not Dilute: Forti-Trowel™ is pre-optimised; adding tap water could weaken its lubricating and densifying powers.

Bonus Application: Prefab Concrete Panels

For exposed surfaces on prefabricated panels, spray Forti-Trowel™ during troweling, then hit the troweled side plus all five others with Forti-Col EG™. This comprehensive treatment ensures uniform curing, densification, and dust resistance across the board.

Coverage is efficient, allowing for broad application with minimal waste, making it a cost-effective addition to your concrete finishing toolkit.
