Hydration controlling admixture

MasterSet DELVO ESC description

MasterSet DELVO ESC extended-set control admixture provides a dispenser-free way of controlling the cement hydration in plastic concrete and wash water. It is a self-contained, dry formulation of MasterSet DELVO admixture designed to control the hydration of cementitious materials in concrete wash water and plastic concrete.

MasterSet DELVO ESC admixture meets ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type B, retarding, and Type D, water-reducing and retarding, admixtures.

Recommended uses:

Retarding freshly-batched concrete
Stabilizing returned plastic concrete and concrete wash water
Portland cement, fly ash, silica fume and slag cement concrete

What are the unique features of MasterSet DELVO ESC?

Reduced amount of water needed to clean ready-mixed concrete truck drums
Reduced need for concrete wash water pits, the resulting wear and tear on front end loaders and disposal charges
Concrete containing stabilized wash water will experience strength performance equal to or greater than reference concrete without stabilized wash water
Acts as a cleansing agent to reduce the buildup on fins, reducing maintenance costs incurred from chipping out hardened concrete

What are the benefits of MasterSet DELVO ESC?

Convenient way to save a load of concrete in emergency situations or job delays
Economical for transporting concrete for long hauls
Reduced labor costs of washing out trucks
Reduced material costs, allowing for a cement reduction of between 47 and 94 lb (21 to 43 kg) when a full 9 yd³ (7 m³) load is batched on top of the stabilized concrete wash water (must be verified by performance testing)
Improved profitability for the ready-mixed concrete producer
Reduced environmental concerns pertaining to the disposal of concrete wash water and plastic concrete
