DESCRIPTION
 
WATER REDUCER – RETARDANT FOR EXTENDED SETTING
 
HYDROPEL ADIRET 100 is a synthetically produced water-reducing and setting-retarding liquid admixture. It does not contain calcium chloride or other corrosive compounds and can be used in the presence of aluminum or zinc. ADIRET 100 can be used in different dosages to extend the initial setting compared to a control mix up to 30 hours. This extension is often needed on bridge decks where the added weight of the concrete in the cast causes deflections and loss of bond with the reinforcement. It is compatible with air-entraining agents, water repellants and calcium chloride.
