CEMTARD-17 admixture is a ready-to-use aqueous solution of hydroxylated organic compounds. Ingredients are factory premixed in exact proportions to minimize handling, eliminating mistakes and guesswork. It contains no chlorides and its specific gravity is 1.22.
CEMTARD - 17
CEMTARD-17 is used wherever a delay in setting may be required to ensure sufficient time for delivery, placement, vibration or compaction. This may be particularly important for :
- HOT WEATHER CONCRETING where delayed set will ensure sufficient placement time and improve concrete quality.
- TRANSIT MIX CONCRETE to extend setting time on long hauls.
CEMTARD-17 Is designed to produce a higher compressive flexural and tensile strength in
concretes, through water reduction (typically 8 to 10%) and through hydration control of the tricalcium
silicate (C3S) phase of the Portland cement. This water reducing action of CEMTARD - 17 produces
greater plasticity and workability in the fresh concrete, as well as improved impermeability and
reduced shrinkage in the hardened concrete
