Cement retarder largest supplier in Fujairah - Middle East, Muscat Sohar Oman. RXSOL-67-6706-220 product classified as WATER Reducing Super Plasticiser with superior high range water reducer for high quality rheoplastic concrete and hydration control. Specially formulated for concrete with supplementary cementitious materials like GGBS, Microsilica, Fly ash.. We are keeping ready stock of WATER Reducing Super Plasticiser RXSOL-67-6706-220  at our FUJAIRAH Branch and Mumbai unit. 

RXSOL-67-6706-220 Cement retarder recommended for piling and mass concrete pours with improved cohesion and temperature control.

Retarding plasticizing admixtures not only delays the setting of the cement but are also efficient plasticizing water-reducers. They are used to give workability retention to the concrete, delay the setting time and increase initial workability.
 

 

Retarding admixtures are used to slow down the speed of the reaction between cement and water by affecting the growth of the hydration products and/or reducing the rate of water penetration to the cement particles. The factors influencing the degree of retardation are water-cement ratio, cement content, C3A and alkali contents present in the cement, type and dosage of the concrete retarder, and the stage at which the retarder is added to the concrete mix itself.

Application

RXSOL-67-6706-220 used as concrete retarder, water reducing agent. Specifically developed by use in high quality concrete for workability retention at low water content. Also sodium gluconate as a retarders keep concrete workable during placement and delay the initial set of concrete. This is an additional admixture which uses in mortar/concrete to Provides good pumpable concrete.

These admixtures slow down the hydration process. They may also reduce the setting time of cement. Retarding admixtures fall into two categories: regular and extended-set. Regular, most commonly referred to as just “retarders,” are used to place concrete in hot climates when long travel times are expected or, in cases of emergency, when placement is delayed. They are also commonly used for mass concrete pours to prevent cold joints.
 
Extended-set control admixtures are those used to delay hydration for many hours or even days. These are usually two-component admixture systems. The first component is a retarder (stabilizer) which delays the setting of concrete.
 
The second component is an accelerator (activator) which overcomes the retarder. The concrete typically reaches the initial set in a few hours after the activator is applied. In the precast industry, retarding admixtures are also used as surface retarders. Surface retarders are used in making exposed aggregate architectural precast. They are typically sprayed or rolled onto the forms. The concrete is then cast into the forms. The next day, the retarded cement is water blasted or brushed off the concrete’s surface, producing an exposed aggregate finish.

Dosage

Best dose rate can be determined in trial batch mixes. While In normal concrete a dosage of between 0.7-2.0 litre for 100kg. total cementitious material. In a high performance, low water cement ratio concrete, a dosage of between 1.5-3.5 litre / 100kg total cementitious material to to improve strengths. The addition of the admixture will allow the removal of water from the mix whilst maintaining workability.

Higher dosage of WATER Reducing Super Plasticiser without causing any adverse effects upon the concrete. RXSOL-67-6706-220 Cement retarder is a chloride free. Superplasticising admixture based on selected polymer modified naphthalene sulphonate dispersives. RXSOL-67-6706-220 Cement retarder disperses by electro kinetic action in the concrete mix. Enable the water phase of the concrete to perform more effectively.

After initial trials. Minor modifications to the overall mix design may be made to optimize performance.

Note : Initial trials should be made with normal concrete mix designs. The use of a combination of admixtures in the same concrete mix and or cement replacement may alter the setting time. Trials should always be conducted to determine such setting times. Never mix RXSOL-67-6706-220 Cement retarder directly to cement the admixture should be added to the concrete with the mixing water.

Overdose : Always take batch trial before uses of cement retarder. High dose will increase retardation effect and more curing required, How ever this may reduce the strength of concrete. But overdosing can be done if sulphate resisting cement or cement replacement materials are used.
