Sika Retarder N | Retarders
Re- Set Retarder Sika Retarder N is used to retard the setting time of the concrete to allow concreting under conditions of high ambient temperatures and placing of mass concrete. It is designed to be used for pumped, prestressed and structural concrete. Minimises the risk of cold joints.
Concrete Admixtures - Sika
Chemical Admixtures Are One of the Components in High Performance Concrete. The first step in optimizing concrete is to recognize that concrete is no longer simply cementitious materials, aggregates and water. It is a high performance material with not just four, but seven essentials – consisting of water, cementitious material, sand, gravel

Effects of Super Plasticizing and Retarding Admixtures on
Superplasticizers (SP) and retarders are important to enhance the workability and setting time of concrete under hot weather, hence, an experimental investigation was conducted to determine the...
Use of Water Reducers, Retarders, and Superplasticizer
Retarding admixtures are used to slow the rate of setting of concrete. By slowing the initial setting time, the concrete mixture can stay in its fresh mix state longer before it gets to its hardened form. Use of retarders is beneficial for: Complex concrete placement or grouting Special architectural surface finish
- What is water reducing admixture & superplasticizer?
- As one of the concrete admixtures, water reducing admixtures and superplasticizers are usually used to reduce the mixing water volume and improve the performance of the harden concrete while maintaining better workability of the fresh concrete.
- Can water reducing admixtures and superplasticizers be used in reinforced concrete?
- Water absorption, frost resistance and permeability resistance of the concrete are mainly reviewed to discuss this influence on the durability properties of the concrete. Then, some suggestions on the application of the water reducing admixtures and superplasticizers in reinforced concrete structures and projects are proposed.
- Do superplasticizers & retarders increase workability and setting time of concrete?
- Superplasticizers (SP) and retarders are important to enhance the workability and setting time of concrete under hot weather, hence, an experimental investigation was conducted to determine the optimum dosage for the admixtures and to study the effect of over dosage of the mentioned admixtures.
- Is superplasticizer better than retarder?
- From the results of the study presented superplasticizer and retarder. However, very high dosages of both admixtures tends to impair the cohesiveness of concrete. admixtures. However, effectiveness is higher for superplasticized concrete. have a better cohesiveness w ithout segregation. However, at very high dosages, cohesiveness reduces.
- What are water reducers & retarders?
- Water reducers, retarders, and superplasticizers are admixtures for concrete, which are added in order to reduce the water content in a mixture or to slow the setting rate of the concrete while retaining the flowing properties of a concrete mixture.
- Can retardant admixtures be used on ready-mix concrete?
- The additional dose of retarding admixtures not only delayed the concrete setting but also improved the compressive strength of the concrete. This implies that the use of an additional dose of retardant admixtures specifically tailored for ready-mix concrete is an effective option to avoid the return of ready-mixed fresh concrete. ...
