RETADOL

RETADOL is a liquid admixture that retards concrete setting and has a water reducing (plasticizing) action (ASTM C-494: Type D), offering the following advantages:
  • Enables transport of ready-mixed concrete over long distances.
  • Helps avoid construction joints, even in case of long breaks while concreting.
  • At the proper dosage, does not retard the development of the initial strength of concrete that would  delay formwork removal.
  • Due to its plasticizing properties, reduces the amount of water required and the resulting water/cement ratio, thus significantly increasing both the initial and the final strength.
  • Improves pumpability of concrete.
  • Facilitates compaction of concrete.
  • Reduces segregation and bleeding.
  • Reduces cracking and shrinkage.
  • Free of chlorides and other corrosive constituents.
  • Has no air entraining action.
  • Compatible with all kinds of Portland cement.

Certified with the CE marking as set retarding – water reducing – concrete plasticizing admixture, according to EN 934-2: T10, Certificate Nr: 0906- CPR-02412007/01.
RETADOL is used in all cases where the stting time of concrete has to be retarded, such as long-distance transport of ready-mixed concrete, hot weather concreting, avoiding construction joints, etc., providing at the same time improved quality and workability of concrete.

  • RETADOL should be added into the mixing water of concrete, considering its water-reducing action.
  • 12 months from production date, if stored in original, unopened packaging, at temperatures between +5 oC and +35 oC. Protect from direct sun exposure and frost.
