POLARSET®
Non-corrosive, non-chloride set-accelerating admixture
POLARSET® is a high-performance admixture that accelerates cement hydration, reducing setting times and increasing early compressive strengths. It is non-corrosive, non-chloride, and safe for reinforcing steel and metal components.
- Non-Corrosive: Safe for steel reinforcements and metal decks.
- Fast Setting: Reduces setting times, even in cold conditions down to 20°F (-7°C).
- Early Strength: Enhances early compressive strengths.
- Versatile: Suitable for all cement types and complies with ASTM C494 Type C and ACI 318 guidelines.
Special Feature: Provides similar benefits to calcium chloride without the corrosive effects, making it ideal for projects where corrosion must be avoided.
Performance: Accelerates the chemical reaction between cement and water, promoting faster gel formation and heat generation to protect against freezing.
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.
