SikaSet NC Chloride-Free Water Reducing Set Accelerator 55 Gallon Drum

SikaSet NC Chloride-Free, Water Reducing, Set Accelerator, 55 Gallon Drum

SikaSet® NC is a non-chloride, water reducing, and accelerating admixture. SikaSet® NC meets the requirements of ASTM C-494 Types C and E admixtures.

Uses:

SikaSet® NC is an effective accelerator where high early strength concrete is desired and the use of calcium chloride is prohibited.

Advantages:

Accelerated Set Times and Strength Development:

SikaSet® NC may be used to accelerate set times and increase early strength gain where job-site efficiency is important in order to meet construction deadlines. SikaSet® NC saves time and money by allowing faster finishing and stripping of concrete surfaces.

• Accelerated setting time across a wide range of temperatures.
• Increased early and ultimate compressive and flexural strengths.
• Insulation and heating costs during curing time are reduced.
• Accelerated set times allow crews to finish concrete earlier, saving on labor costs.
• Earlier stripping and reuse of forms increases labor productivity.
• Accelerated strength gain allows earlier structural use and speeds completion time.

Cold Weather Concreting:

At the recommended dosage rate SikaSet® NC will protect concrete from freezing in most sub-freezing temperature conditions and may reduce the need for cold weather concreting practices as specified in ACI 306 - Standard Specification for Cold Weather Concreting. SikaSet® NC does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chlorides and will not initiate or promote the corrosion of steel members present in the concrete.
