Conset R
Overview
Description
Conset R is a chloride free set-retarding admixture based on selected polyhydroxy materials. It is supplied as a brown solution which instantly disperses in water. Conset R affects the initial hydration of concrete, resulting in a delay in the setting time of the concrete with no adverse effect on subsequent stiffening and strength gain.
Applications
Uses
- To extend the setting time of concrete, extending
- Hot weather concreting
- Mass concreting
- Working times and minimising delay problems
- To extend the working life of semi-dry concrete screeds
- Particularly suitable for use in mixes having fly ash and also improve the working life of semi dry concrete mixes, specifically RCC (Roller Compacted Concrete) type of mixes
Why Choose This
Advantages
Controlled retardation extends working life and stiffening time for ease of construction
Control of stiffening improves slip forming and assists in preventing the formation of cold joints in large pours
Chloride free, safe for use in prestressed and reinforced concrete
