Set Retarders
Overview
Hot climates or complex pours often cause concrete to set too quickly. Set Retarders slow the hydration process, giving you more working time without affecting final strength.
Key Features
- Controlled Setting – Delays setting time, ideal for hot weather concreting.
- Prevents Cold Joints – Enables continuous pours over large surface areas.
- Consistent Strength – Maintains long-term durability and performance.
- Pumping Stability – Useful for long transit times in RMC.
