How to Do Exposed Aggregate Concrete - 3 Ways to Expose ...

One top-surface retarder product is Surface Deactivator by Brickform, which provides ten exposure depths, from a simulated light acid etch or sand blast finish up to full exposure of 1 ½" aggregate. Surface Deactivator offers an extended window before the surface paste is removed, allowing the concrete to harden properly, which locks in the aggregate and decreases pop-outs.

Dry the material until it maintains a constant mass. This indicates that all the water has left the sample. Drying should occur in an oven regulated at 230°F (110°C). Cool the aggregate to a comfortable handling temperature. Immerse the aggregate in water at room temperature for a period of 15 to 19 hours (Figure 7). Figure 7: Soaking the sample.

Soil Aggregates - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

A soil aggregate is a group of primary soil particles that cohere to each other more strongly than to other surrounding particles. Soil aggregates form through the combined action of cohesion and fragmentation processes. That is, attractive and disruptive forces act on the particles in the soil to cause greater cohesion among some particles, and groups of particles, than others.
