Description
POLARSET® NC 300 is an early strength enhancing admixture for concrete. In addition to enhancing early strength growth POLARSET® NC 300 also accelerates the setting time of concrete. POLARSET® NC 300 does not contains any added chlorides.
In concrete mixes, POLARSET® NC 300 accelerates the chemical reaction between Portland cement and water, speeding up the formation of C-S-H gel. This accelerated gel formation reduces the setting time of concrete, compensating for the slow setting effects of cold weather and concrete containing SCM, and contributes to the development of higher early strengths. POLARSET® NC 300 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type SAc.
Application areas
- Winter concreting for early strengths
- Prestressed and precast concrete to reduce cycle times
- Concrete with SCM (Supplementary Cementitious Materials)
Benefits
- Low Carbon Footprint – allows better utilization of mixes incorporating high volumes of GGBS
