Sika Retarder-12
Sika Retarder-12 is an additive that slows down the setting process of concrete mixtures.
Features:
- Does not negatively impact the properties of superplasticizers and other additives.
- Allows pouring of massive structures without cold joints.
- Slows down heat generation during pouring of massive structures.
Applications:
- Layered pouring of massive structures with subsequent layer homogenization.
- Transporting concrete mixtures to remote sites.
- Pouring concrete in hot climate conditions.
- Working with fast-setting cements.
- Suitable for commercial concrete of any strength class.
Benefits:
- Does not negatively affect the properties of superplasticizers and other additives.
- Enables pouring of massive structures without cold joints.
- Slows down heat generation during pouring of massive structures.
- Expands the coverage area of concrete plants due to extended transportation capabilities of concrete mixtures.
- Maintains the required workability time of concrete mixtures when using local cements or inert fillers.
- Free from chlorides or other substances that cause reinforcement corrosion.
