Cement Retarder is a specialized chemical admixture designed to delay the setting time of cement-based mixtures such as concrete, mortar, and plaster. It works by slowing down the hydration process of cement, providing extended workability and increased control over placement, especially in large-scale or complex construction projects.

This product is particularly beneficial in hot weather conditions where cement tends to set rapidly, which can lead to cracking, poor bonding, or reduced structural strength. By extending the setting time, Cement Retarder allows for better compaction, smoother surface finishes, and sufficient time for transportation, placing, and finishing without compromising the integrity of the structure.

Suitable for both site-mixed and ready-mix concrete, it is compatible with various types of cements and can be used alongside other admixtures such as plasticizers and water reducers.

Key Features:

• Effectively delays cement setting time
• Improves workability and placement flexibility

• Ideal for use in hot or dry climatic conditions
• Enhances surface finish and final strength
• Compatible with most common cement types

Applications:

• Large concrete pours or mass concrete
• Precast concrete production
• Ready-mix concrete transportation
• Hot weather concreting
• Complex formwork and structural detailing

Packaging:

Available in 25kg bags, 50kg drums, and customized packaging as per client needs.
