Product / Service Details

Description

An additive is used to control the setting time of concrete in different temperatures, extending it up to 24 hours or more, allowing easier working and compaction.

Advantages

• The Consumption can be safely increased or decreased as needed without affecting other properties of the concrete.
• No need to change the concrete mix design, as the additive does not significantly alter the workability or strength of the concrete.
• It has a white color with high transparency, preventing color variation on the concrete surface, unlike other additives.

Applications

• Producing concrete free from joints and cracks caused by shrinkage, making it suitable for dams, bridges, and swimming pools.
• Adding to concrete for use with pumps and conveyors, especially in hot weather and over long distances.
• Essential for pouring concrete in hot climates.
• Critical for use in slipform construction.

Consumption

From 0.5% to 1.5% of the cement weight, added to the mixing water. Site tests are conducted to determine the appropriate Consumption based on temperature and the required setting delay.
