Description
DARAMENE® 500 set-retarding admixture is a ready-to-use aqueous solution of chemical compounds specifically designed to retard cement hydration. DARAMENE® 500 is typically added to the concrete mix at the time of batching.
The ingredients are factory pre-mixed in exact proportions under strict quality control to provide uniform results. DARAMENE® 500 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type Re.
Application areas
Concrete that requires additional retardation such as:
- Tremie mixes
- Hot weather concreting
- Long life concrete
Benefits
- Reduces risk of lost concrete
- More flexibility in batching concrete in advance for unusually longer retardation requirement
- Slows hydration for better placing and compaction in hot conditions
