POLARSET®

POLARSET® is a non-corrosive, non-chloride admixture for concrete. It accelerates cement hydration resulting in shortened setting times and increased early compressive strengths. POLARSET® does not contain calcium chloride and is completely non-corrosive to reinforcing steel, metal decks and all metal components of your admixture storage and dispensing system. It is formulated to comply with ASTM C494 Type C and can be used at any dosage to comply with ACI 318 guidelines for chloride content of concrete. One gallon of POLARSET® weighs approximately 11.25 lbs (1.35 kg/L).

POLARSET® provides set time acceleration and early strength development similar to that provided by calcium chloride, but without the potential corrosive effects. POLARSET® can, therefore, be used where potential corrosion of embedded or stressed steel must be avoided. It can also be used in concrete that is to be placed on steel clad or zinc coated steel decks where corrosion must be similarly avoided.
