DARACCEL® 40

Set accelerating admixture

Description

Daraccel® 40 is a set-accelerating admixture formulated to provide accelerated set during low ambient temperatures whilst increasing early strengths.

Daraccel® 40 is an aqueous liquid solution that is manufactured under controlled conditions to produce a consistent product which ensures uniform and predictable performance when used. Daraccel® 40 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type Ac.

Application areas

  • Flatwork and house slabs
  • Pumped concrete
  • Concrete floors poured over plastic with no air flow
  • Manufacture of concrete blocks, bricks, pavers and roof tiles
  • Not recommended with pre/post tensioned concrete, reinforced concrete and concrete in marine environment

Benefits

  • Accelerated set times; with earlier finishing times of concrete at low temperatures, optimising costs
  • Increased early strength of concrete, enabling earlier removal of form work
  • Bleed reduction due to greatly improved setting times
  • Effective over cementitious contents and mix designs
  • Used in conjunction with mixes that contain fly ash and slag to offset slow setting times

Packaging

  • 205 L Drum
  • IBC 1000L
  • Bulk
  • Pail
