Concrete Workability and Set Control

Concrete Workability and Set Control

Admixtures used to control workability and setting behaviour during placement.

The problem

Concrete needs to remain workable long enough to be transported, placed, compacted and finished.

Temperature, haul time and mix design all affect the available working time.

Typical applications

  • Warm weather concreting
  • Long haul or extended placement times
  • Large pours requiring controlled set

Selection considerations

  • The mix design, cement type and supplementary materials in use
  • Ambient and concrete temperature on the day
  • Trial batching before use in production concrete

Key limitations

  • Dosage must be established by trial mix for the specific mix design and site conditions.
  • Compatibility with other admixtures must be verified before production use.

Discuss Your Project

Product selection, specification and system build-up should be confirmed with Ozone for each specific project before ordering or installation.

Send us the substrate, exposure and build-up and we will confirm the system and issue the current documentation.
