RECOVER®
Hydration Stabilizer
RECOVER®
Master the concrete hydration kinetics and set time in severe conditions
RECOVER® is a ready-to-use aqueous solution of chemical compounds specifically designed to stabilize the hydration of Portland cement concretes. The ingredients are factory pre-mixed in exact proportions under strict quality control to provide uniform results and set and temperature control applications in concrete or mortar mixes.
Project Applications & Benefits:
- Permits long hauls to remote sites
- Allows for extended truck discharge times
- Reduces need for portable batch plants or on-site cement addition
- Controls temperature increase
- Provides predictable extended set for continuous placement on mass concrete and tremie projects
What is a Hydration Stabilizer?
Hydration stabilizers are advanced set retarders. While conventional set retarders enjoy widespread use to slow
concrete set times, on many projects additional set control is needed. Hydration stabilizers are formulated to provide this extended control, ranging from a few hours of delayed set for long haul or delayed placement situations, to over 30 hours for large continuous pour projects. With RECOVER hydration stabilizer, the window of plasticity can be extended in a predictable manner to bring new flexibility and opportunity to a variety of projects.
