Delayed
Set Additive
Part # X601 |
Purpose
To delay the set of concrete on the job
site. This allows the customer to concentrate skilled
finishing work.
What is It?
Delayed Set is a delayed set admixture in powdered form.
Like all Cart-Away admixtures, it is packaged in a patented
water-soluble inner bag for easy addition to the mix.
When to Use It?
Use Delayed Set
whenever you need to slow down the set of concrete. Keep it
on hand for times when unexpected delays occur, such as
when the trailer arrives too early or the job site isn't
ready. |
Also use it on hot days
when natural curing times may be a challenge.
How Much to Use?
A good rule of thumb is that
one 8-ounce bag will retard one yard of concrete for one
hour. This is true for a standard mix (5 sacks of cement per
yard) at concrete temperatures of 60-80˚ F.
Your Job Site
Only your customer can determine
how many separate segments they want to work on, which may
differ according to the size of the job, capabilities of the
helpers, along with temperature and weather conditions.
Included in the Directions is an example of a 3-yard pour in
three segments. You can adapt from this to your own needs.

Accelerator
Additive
Part # X602 |
Purpose
To speed up the set time of concrete
without affecting concrete strength, durability, or color.
What is It?
It is a Non-Chloride Set
Accelerator (NCA) in a powdered form. Like all Cart-Away
admixtures, it is packaged in patented water-soluble inner
bags for easy addition to the mix.
When to
Use It?
Use on all jobs when you need to speed
up set times for the most efficient scheduling of workers.
Most cold-weather jobs will require a set accelerator to
keep you from waiting long hours until the concrete is ready
to finish.
Accelerator
Advantages |
Speeds
up your set time by 1 to 5 hours
Contains
no chlorides
Will
not affect concrete color
Does
not promote corrosion of metals
Does
not promote efflorescence
Why Non-Chloride?
Calcium Chloride has been frequently used as an accelerator
because it is cheap and speeds up set times. However, major
problems with Calcium Chloride have become troublesome to
the industry. You can’t use it with colored concrete,
because uneven coloration results. It also causes more
shrinkage cracks. In addition, it weakens the ultimate
strength of the concrete and promotes corrosion of
reinforcing steel. The job is likely to deteriorate over
time, and may result in costly replacements and damage to
your reputation. |
Air
Additive
Part # X600 |
Purpose
Air
additive is used to increase the entrained air content in
exposed concrete that may be subject to freeze/thaw cycles.
It improves the durability of the concrete. If you increase
the entrained air content to about 6%, you greatly reduce
the chances of your concrete cracking or showing other
damage later due to freezing and thawing.
What is it?
Air is an air-entraining admixture in powdered form. Like
all Cart-Away admixtures, it is packaged in a patented,
water-soluble inner bag for easy addition to the mix.
|
When to Use It?
Use Air additive in all concrete that
may be subject to winter freezing. For a penny or two per
square foot, it is among the least expensive admixtures.
Advantages
Makes concrete more durable
Enhances dispersion of integral colors
Decreases bleed water
Increased concrete
workability for finishing |
