ARMOR RETARDER 100
WATER REDUCING AND RETARDING, PLASTICIZING ADMIXTURE
Product Description
ARMOR Retarder 100 is an SNF based water reducing and set time retarding admixture for concrete. ARMOR Retarder 100 does not contain calcium chloride and other corroding materials. ARMOR Retarder 100 is a blend of polymer based plasticizer and proprietary retarding agent. The chemical process of ARMOR Retarder 100 when activated temporarily stops the hydration process, delaying the initial setting time in proportion to the amount of dosing. At the completion of the initial setting time, curing commences at a regulated rate.
ARMOR Retarder 100 offers the following advantages and benefits:
- Retards setting characteristics
- Improves workability
- Reduces water requirements
- Reduce Segregation
- Increases strength
- Reduces permeability
- Reduce cracking
- Improves finish appearance
ARMOR Retarder 100 is typically used to produce:
- Ÿ Pre stressed Concrete
- Concrete requiring water reduction and set
- time control
- Hot weather concrete placement
- Ready mixed concrete requiring long travel
- time from plant to site
- Ready-mixed concrete.
- Pumped concrete.
ARMOR Retarder 100 is packaged in 25 litres keg, 210 litres drum and 1000 litres tank
Brown Liquid
Typical dosage would be 1 – 2% of cement content depending on the intended duration for extending set time. Note that the actual dosage for any situation would depend on trial mixes, the initial extension of the required set time, temperature and cement type.
Shelf life is 12 months in an unopened pack
An overdose of ARMORSIL Retarder may result depending on the degree, in an increase of workability and extension of setting time. Overdosing will not affect long term strength development. Overdosed c o n c r e t e must be protected against direct sun light and water evaporation.
