Concrete Acceleration
Calcium chloride is the preferred additive for completing cement jobs as quickly and economically as possible. Accelerate cement hydration and reduce application set time by as much as two-thirds with calcium chloride.
Where To Use
Calcium chloride accelerates cement hydration and reduces set time for concrete applications by as much as two-thirds. This helps contractors produce concrete faster and complete jobs as quickly and economically as possible, particularly in colder weather. Calcium chloride can also improve mix workability, improve the strength of air-entrained concrete, and reduce bleeding by enabling earlier final finishing.
Research has shown that concrete produced with 2% calcium chloride exhibits equivalent cure strength at 50°F as plain concrete at 70°F. Set times below 50°F will be longer, but the accelerated cure rate will still be greater than that of plain concrete.
