MasterSet R 122 ready-to-use liquid admixture is used for making more uniform and predictable quality concrete while retarding its setting time to facilitate placing and finishing operations.
What are the unique features of MasterSet R 122?
- Improved workability
- Reduced segregation
- Superior finishing characteristics for flatwork and cast surfaces
- Reduced water content required for a given workability
- Retarded setting characteristics
- Moderate to extended retardation – depending on the addition rate
- Full-form deflection can take place (before concrete sets) in extended pours for bridge decks, cantilevers, non-shored structural elements, etc.
- Meets ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type B, retarding, and Type D, water-reducing and retarding, admixtures
What are the benefits of MasterSet R 122?
- Increased compressive and flexural strengths
- Flexibility in scheduling of placing and finishing operations
- Offsets effects of early concrete hardening during extended delays between mixing and placing
- Helps eliminate cold joints
- Peak temperature and/or rate of temperature rise in mass concrete lowered, thereby reducing thermal cracking
