MasterSet: Solutions for Retarding and Accelerating Set Control

What is MasterSet?

MasterSet family of products, retarders, accelerators, and hydration controllers, allow producers and contractors to manage the consistency and set times of concrete during extreme temperatures and the most demanding situations. Whether it’s sweltering heat, extreme cold, a long-haul project, or even returned concrete that’s impacting concrete placement and/or production MasterSet can help deliver quality and consistency.

The MasterSet products consists of:

• Ready-to-use Set Retarders that increase concrete setting time for a more uniform and predictable quality concrete that facilitates placing and finishing.

• Set accelerators that decrease concrete setting time and improve the early concrete strength and finishing characteristics.

• Hydration-controlling admixtures that control the hydration rate of cement to provide extended plastic properties of fresh concrete. An economical alternative for dealing with slump loss, which allows for returned plastic concrete or reuse/recycling of concrete wash water.
