Product Description

During cold weather working concreting raises two main problems: 1. Delayed Setting: The rate of gain in strength is considerably retarted and site operations are delayed. 2. Reduction in Ultimate Strength: The formation of the ice crystals is freshly placed concrete disrupts the cement paste and prevents the concrete from attaining its full ultimate strength. Classic AXL(CF) is a chloride-free accelerating admixture which makes it ideal for use in the cold weather of reinforced concrete. Classic AXL(CF) offsets the effect of low temperatures by accelerating the rates of setting, strength gain and heat evolution. Work can be continued under adverse weather conditions without detriment to the quality of the concrete and without fear of chloride corrosion. Under normal conditions the high early strength given to a mix by Classic AXL(CF) is of value in emergency repair work. For concrete or mortars made to a fixed workability, the plasticizing action of Classic AX(CF) ena
