Laitance means?

Floating cement slurry on top of freshly placed concrete.

Laitance is a weak, easily-crumbled layer on the surface of concrete, consisting of cement and fine aggregates that rise to the surface when too much water is added. Laitance may also be caused by over-trowelling, rain damage, or poor curing.

Laitance can be say bleeding also.

Laitance is different from bleeding as in bleeding only water rises to the surface.
