About CONCRETE ACCELERATOR

A cement accelerator is an admixture for the use in concrete, mortar, rendering or screeds.

The addition of an accelerator speeds the setting time and thus cure time starts earlier.

This allows concrete to be placed in winter with reduced risk of frost damage.

Concrete is damaged if it does not reach a strength of 500 pounds per square inch (3.4 MPa) before freezing.

Fast-Tracking Concrete Performance

Specially designed to speed up initial setting times and boost early strength, this Concrete Accelerator is an effective solution for contractors and builders facing low-temperature construction challenges. It shortens construction schedules by facilitating quick demoulding and early load application, making it an essential tool for projects requiring rapid turnaround.

Product Safety and Storage Guidance

The Calcium Chloride Solution is non-toxic at typical concentrations and requires storage in a tightly closed container, in a cool and dry place, to maintain its 24-month shelf life. Packed in robust HDPE drums, it ensures secure handling and easy transportation for dealers, manufacturers, and suppliers across India.

FAQ's of CONCRETE ACCELERATOR:

Q: How should Concrete Accelerator be used in concrete mixes?

A: Concrete Accelerator should be added at a dosage of 1-2% by weight of cement. It is best mixed with the batching water before combining with other concrete components to ensure even distribution throughout the mix.

Q: What are the main benefits of using a Concrete Accelerator?

A: This product significantly shortens the initial setting time, enhances early strength development, and enables quicker demoulding and load application. It is especially advantageous for cold weather concreting, allowing construction schedules to progress efficiently even in low temperatures.

Q: Is Concrete Accelerator suitable for reinforced concrete applications?

A: No, this Calcium Chloride Solution contains a high chloride content, which can promote corrosion of steel reinforcement. It should only be used in non-reinforced (plain) concrete where corrosion risk is not a concern.

Q: What is the recommended storage condition for Concrete Accelerator?

A: The accelerator should be kept in its original, tightly sealed container. Store in a cool, dry area to preserve product integrity and maximize its shelf life, which is up to 24 months.

Q: Can Concrete Accelerator be used with all types of cement?

A: It is compatible with most Portland cements. However, it is advisable to conduct preliminary trials for other cement types to confirm suitability and performance.

Q: When is the ideal time to use Concrete Accelerator in construction projects?

A: Concrete Accelerator is best employed during cold weather concreting or when a faster setting and early strength gain is required, allowing construction teams to adhere to tight project timelines.

Q: Where can I purchase Concrete Accelerator in bulk in India?

A: The product is available from dealers, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, and wholesalers throughout India, supplied in 50 kg and 250 kg HDPE drums suitable for large or small project requirements.
