    Chemrite Retarder

    Set Retarding Concrete Admixture


    Retarder
    Product Description Chemrite Retarder is a highly efficient set-retarding admixture based on
    phosphates which temporarily stop the chemical action of hydration,
    delaying the initial set in direct proportion to the dosage used. After the
    planned delay in initial set, hardening develops at an accelerated rate.
    Suitable for use in tropical and hot climatic conditions.

    Uses Chemrite Retarder is used as a retarding admixture in structural and


    concrete where a controlled extension of setting time is required, such as:
    mass
    - Large volume pours

    Avoidance of cold joints


    - Construction joints without formwork

    Long hauls
    - Difficult placing conditions

    Elevated temperatures
    - Re-vibrated concrete

    Safety (Chemrite Retarder merely retards the setting time and will not kill
    the set of cement. It does not entrain air and may be used with confidence
    even at high dosages).

    Advantages Chemrite Retarder provides controlled setting

    Application Details
    Dosage 0.2 - 2.0% by weight of cement. The retardation rate achieved is directly
    dependant on the dosage rate which in turn is influenced by quality of
    cement and aggregates, w/c ratio and temperatures.
    It is advisable to carry out trial mixes to establish the exact dosage rate
    required.

    Dispensing Chemrite Retarder liquid should be dispensed directly into the mixing water or
    added simultaneously into the concrete mixer.

    Concrete Placing Standard practices for good concrete production as well as concrete placing
    must be strictly adhered to when using Chemrite Retarder

    Compatibility Chemrite Retarder is compatible with all types of Portland Cement


    including
    sulfate resistant cement. Chemrite Retarder must not be used with anti-
    freeze
    Curing Proper curing procedures must be observed for surfaces which are to be
    exposed to weathering. Otherwise, premature drying out close to the
    surface may cause lightweight concrete to lose some mechanical strength.
    Use Chemrite Antisol products as a curing agent or apply wet hessian.

    Cleaning Clean all equipment and tools with water immediately after use.

    Remarks When accidental overdosing occurs, the set retarding effect increases.
    During this period the concrete must be kept moist in order to prevent
    premature drying out. Ask the Technical Department for further advice.

    Safety
    Precautions Accidental splashes to the skin must be washed off with water and soap.
    Accidental splashes to the eyes or mucous membrane must be rinsed with
    clean warm water. Seek medical attention without delay.
    Skin barrier cream, safety goggles and rubber gloves are recommended.

    Ecology Do not dispose of into water or soil but according to local regulations.

    Toxicity Non-toxic under the relevant Swiss health and safety codes.

    Transportation Non-hazardous.
