Description

BATIMIX Accelerator 340 is a chloride-free liquid admixture designed to significantly accelerate setting times of shotcrete mixes applied under wet or dry processes. Upon request, this product can be supplied in powder form.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX Accelerator 340 is used for shotcrete applications to build thick sections, vertical or overhead, with a minimum rebound.
