New Finishing Aid from Proline Addresses Field Problems

Pro-Finish TDC by Proline - 5 Gallon BucketsProline Decorative Concrete Systems now offers contractors Pro-Finish TDC, a next-generation finishing aid engineered to dramatically improve the performance, appearance, and finishability of fresh concrete during trowel and floating operations.

Formulated to address the real-world challenges contractors face in the field—including premature surface drying, excessive drag, and finish inconsistencies—ProFinish TDC enhances concrete workability while boosting long-term durability.

The advanced trowel aid acts as a powerful finishing lubricant, reducing friction and also eliminates the need for water addition, a practice known to weaken slabs. Its scientifically balanced formula promotes even hydration, minimizes scaling, and strengthens surface integrity.

Pro-Finish TDC has been used six hours after a pour to revive the surface of concrete to finish with a broom or smooth trowel. This benefit allows concrete contractors to save jobs that they may have lost due to unfinished set concrete. It gives contractors a way to finish concrete after it has set, potentially saving the job from an inconsistent finish.

TDC key benefits include:
  • Trowel aid: Improves finishing performance and eliminates trowel “stickiness.”
  • Densifier: Increases surface compressive strength.
  • Curing agent: Reduces hairline checking, cracking, and efflorescence.
  • Finishing aid: 500 – 1,000 square feet
  • Performance concrete: 250-500 square feet

The product is ideal for stamped concrete, decorative floors, standard slabs, and also Pro-Stamp stampable overlay.
