Manage Your Concrete with Improved Performance
AXIM CATEXOL Set Retarders offer excellent counteracting properties to impede the accelerating effect of concrete hardening, helping the producer and contractor control the rate at which concrete sets. Used in applications where climatic or jobsite conditions require controlled retardation, AXIM set retarders deliver increased workability, greater impermeability, reduced shrinkage and higher comprehensive strengths, as well as improved appearance.
AXIM's family of set retarding concrete admixtures enables the producer to haul plastic concrete farther, increasing flexibility and the scheduling of truck delivery. They provide the contractor more time for texturing and finishing concrete and can help eliminate cold joints. CATEXOL set retarders are especially effective in lowering peak concrete temperatures during cement hydration or reducing the rate of temperature rise in mass concrete, thus reducing thermal cracking.
AXIM's hydration control admixtures or "set stabilizers" provide a different level of performance to essentially stop the hydration process of cement. AXIM delivers multiple solutions for producers who want to control hydration of concrete and stabilize wash water and returned concrete.
