MasterSet R 122

Set retarding admixture

How does MasterSet R 122 work?

MasterSet R 122 ready-to-use liquid admixture is used for making more uniform and predictable quality concrete while retarding its setting time to facilitate placing and finishing operations.

Recommended uses:

Prestressed concrete
Precast concrete
Reinforced concrete
Shotcrete
Lightweight concrete
Pumped concrete
4x4 Concrete
Pervious concrete
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC)

What are the unique features of MasterSet R 122?

Improved workability
Reduced segregation
Superior finishing characteristics for flatwork and cast surfaces
Reduced water content required for a given workability
Retarded setting characteristics
Moderate to extended retardation – depending on the addition rate
Full-form deflection can take place (before concrete sets) in extended pours for bridge decks, cantilevers, non-shored structural elements, etc.
Meets ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type B, retarding, and Type D, water-reducing and retarding, admixtures

What are the benefits of MasterSet R 122?

Increased compressive and flexural strengths
Flexibility in scheduling of placing and finishing operations
Offsets effects of early concrete hardening during extended delays between mixing and placing
Helps eliminate cold joints
Peak temperature and/or rate of temperature rise in mass concrete lowered, thereby reducing thermal cracking
