Set Accelerator

About Set Accelerator

c It is ideal for sprayed or pumped concrete/mortar mix like in shotcrete / guniting and ready mix concrete. It is also suitable for concrete where high early strength is required or form work has to be removed early, for example reinforced pre cast. It complies with ASTM-C-494 Type C, IS- 9103.

Mechanism

CETEX-SA increases the chemical reaction of cement and water, thereby accelerating the rate of setting and early gain in the strength. It also results in overall strength of concrete.

Advantage

• Faster hydration process results in faster hardening and early higher strength of fresh mix.
• It can be used as anti-freeze admixture for winter concreting. It can also be used to counteract retardation due to super plasticiser.
• It reduces rebound loss in shotcrete / guniting. It allows early shifting of pre-cast elements.
• It reduces/eliminates steam curing cost of pre-cast elements.
• It does not contain chlorides; hence it does not corrode the steel structure.

Accelerate Construction Timelines

Set Accelerator is engineered for the construction sector to provide rapid setting of cement in concrete and mortar mixes. This results in enhanced productivity and faster project completion. Its excellent compatibility with all types of Portland cement makes it a versatile choice for builders and contractors seeking efficiency without compromising quality.


Effortless Integration and Reliable Performance

This fast-setting admixture is added directly to the fresh cement mix at a dosage of 2% to 5% by weight. The low viscosity ensures seamless blending, while the fully soluble formula guarantees uniform dispersion. Designed for industrial grade use, Set Accelerator ensures consistent results and improved construction schedules.
