The use of winter additives and their main characteristics

NITCAL S45 antifreeze plasticizer is an important tool for ensuring the stability and reliability of concrete in winter conditions.

Its main characteristics and properties make it an effective tool for winter concreting:

  • Regulation of concrete properties: allows you to adapt various characteristics of the concrete mix in accordance with the requirements of a specific construction project, such as working hours, plasticity and strength.
  • Reduction of water content: reduces the required amount of water in the concrete mix, which leads to a reduction in concrete shrinkage and resource savings.
  • Acceleration of setting and hardening: accelerates the initial setting and hardening of concrete, which is important in cases where rapid achievement of the required strength is required.
  • Mobility of the concrete mix: supports the mobility of the concrete mix, which facilitates its formation and laying.
  • Increasing density: It helps to increase the density of finished products, improving their strength and stability.
  • Water resistance: Improves the water resistance of concrete structures, which is an important aspect to ensure their durability.
  • Antifreeze properties: helps to prevent the appearance of frost cracks in concrete structures, providing them with frost resistance in the temperature range from 5°C to -25°C.
  • Creation of high-density and waterproof concrete: promotes the formation of concrete with high density and water resistance, increasing the durability of structures.
  • Corrosion suppression: The high concentration of chlorides helps to prevent corrosion of metal fittings in concrete.
  • Increasing the strength of cement: helps to increase the strength of the cement material.
  • Increased frost resistance: increases the frost resistance of concrete products, which is especially important in cold conditions.
  • Concrete sealing: Significantly seals concrete, preventing its fragility and destruction.

The use of NITCAL S45 antifreeze plasticizer is an important step to ensure successful winter concreting and the creation of high-quality and stable concrete structures at low temperatures.
