DARAMENE® 500

Set retarding admixture

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

Packaging

  • 205 L Drum
  • IBC 1000L
  • Bulk
