Description

Daramene® 500 is a set retarding admixture of chemical compounds specifically designed to retard cement hydration.

Daramene® 500 is typically added to the concrete mix at the time of batching. Daramene® 500 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type Re.

  • 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
