Winter concreting is a complex and responsible process. Frozen water inside concrete can lead to its destruction due to an increase in the volume of water during freezing. 

For successful winter concreting, it is important to take certain measures and use special methods and additives to prevent the destruction of concrete:

• The use of antifreeze additives: The addition of antifreeze plasticizer can reduce the freezing point of water in concrete, allowing it to remain stable at lower temperatures.
• Insulation: winter concreting areas are often covered to keep warm and protect from freezing. This includes the use of thermal insulation materials (for example, tarpaulin mats) around the molds and poured concrete.
• Use of warm water solutions: warm water and warm additives can help maintain the temperature of the concrete mixture within acceptable limits.
• Temperature control: Monitoring the temperature of concrete and the environment is important to prevent freezing and ensure proper curing of concrete.

Winter concreting requires special knowledge and means to ensure high-quality results and prevent the destruction of concrete due to frost.

NITSAL S45 antifreeze plasticizer is an important additive for concrete and building mixes designed to improve their performance at low and subzero temperatures.

The main characteristics and properties of this additive:

• Regulation of concrete properties: The plasticizer allows you to change various properties of the concrete mixture, such as working time, plasticity and strength, to meet the specific requirements of the construction project. This makes it universal for various types of concrete.
• Reduction of water content: The additive reduces the amount of necessary water in the concrete mix by up to 10%. This reduces the shrinkage of concrete and saves resources.
• Acceleration of setting and hardening: The plasticizer accelerates the initial setting and hardening of concrete, which is especially useful in construction, where rapid achievement of the required strength is required.
• Mobility of the concrete mix: This additive also supports the mobility of the concrete mix, which is important when forming and laying concrete structures.
• Density Increase: Plasticizer helps to increase the density of finished products, which can improve their strength and stability.
• Water resistance: Improving water resistance is an important aspect for concrete structures, and this additive contributes to increasing the water resistance of finished products.
• Antifreeze properties: This additive is intended for use at low and subzero temperatures (from 5 °C to -25 ° C) and helps prevent the appearance of frost cracks in concrete structures, providing them with frost resistance.
• Creation of high-density and waterproof concrete: Plasticizer contributes to the creation of concrete with high density and water resistance, which increases the durability and reliability of concrete structures.
• Corrosion suppression: The high concentration of chlorides in the composition of the superplasticizer helps to prevent corrosion of metal fittings in concrete.
• Increasing the strength of cement: The plasticizer helps to increase the strength of the cement material.
• Increased frost resistance: The additive helps to increase the frost resistance of concrete products, which is important in cold conditions.
• Concrete compaction: The plasticizer significantly compacts the concrete, which helps to prevent the fragility and destruction of concrete.

NITSAL S45 antifreeze plasticizer has many positive properties, making it an important component for construction work in cold periods and for improving the properties of concrete structures.
