Conset CA
Description

Conset CA is ready to use chloride based liquid accelerating admixture for use in unreinforced concrete, mortar and portland cement. Conset CA reduces the hardening times in general and specially under cold weather, leading to high early and ultimate strengths. In addition, it reduces bleed and segregation while improving workability. Conset CA should be replaced by Conset NCA, chloride free accelerating concrete admixture, where there is embedded or prestressed steel, or where sulphate resistant cement is used or when steam curing is employed. For advice in specific situations please contact our technical staff.

Uses
  • To accelerate the setting/hardening time and early strength gain of unreinforced portland cement concrete and mortar mixes. Typical applications include:
  • Precast concrete production
  • Repairs of the industrial floors
  • Early de-stripping in cold weather
    • Advantages
    • Superior finishing characteristics for flatwork and cast surfaces
    • Earlier finishing of slabs – reduced labor costs
    • Reduced protection time in cold weather
    • Earlier stripping and reuse of forms
    • Earlier structural use of concrete, as in lift-slab, tilt-up, paving and floors
    • Easy to disperse in concrete mixtures, as it is liquid
