Batimix Accelerator 320

Chloride-free, set-accelerating liquid admixture for concrete masonry products

Description

BATIMIX Accelerator 320 is a multi-purpose admixture designed to accelerate setting times of concrete. It does not contain calcium chloride or added chloride ions that could potentially attack steel, aluminum, or zinc embedments.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX Accelerator 320 reduces the initial and final setting times of concrete. It is particularly effective in cold temperatures and unfavorable weather conditions. Its use cuts construction costs and enables earlier removal of formwork systems because of the resulting increase in early strength.

Applications using BATIMIX Accelerator 320 concrete castings include plain, reinforced, precast, ready-mixed, and pumped.

Features

Concrete prepared with BATIMIX Accelerator 320 is characterized by the following:

In the plastic state:

• Reduced initial and final setting times
• Minimized bleeding and segregation
• Densified and cohesive skeleton
• Decreased overtime, allowing same-day finishing

In the hardened state:

• Reduced construction costs – no cold weather delays
• Increased early compressive and flexural strengths

Dosage

0.8% to 4% of the cementitious materials

Color

Liquid brown

Available Packages

• Bulk
• 200 kg drum
• 20 kg pail

Health and Safety

BATIMIX Accelerator 320 is not a hazardous material. However, it should not be swallowed or allowed to come into contact with skin and eyes. Suitable gloves and goggles should be worn. For additional information, kindly refer to the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet.
