Antifreeze additive for concreting at subzero air temperatures up to - 25 ° C.
The NITCAL S 45 antifreeze plasticizer is designed to regulate the properties of all ready-to-use types of concrete (reinforced and non-reinforced), mortar mixtures and dry building mixes. It is used in monolithic construction for screeds, masonry and other types of construction work at low and subzero temperatures from 5 ° C to -25 °C. Prevents the appearance of efflorescence at the stage of operation. Reduces the crystallization temperature of water. It makes it possible to obtain the minimum required early strength of 5 MPa. Increases the final strength of finished concrete products. Provides high frost resistance. A universal chlorine-free additive without changing the consistency reduces the water content of the batch to 10%. Accelerates the hydration reaction of cement.Accelerates the setting and hardening of concrete, ensuring the mobility of the concrete mix. It is used for the preparation of concretes with a wide range of applications. It helps to improve the operational properties of the initial composition.

The additive is a universal tool designed to improve the characteristics of the concrete mixture. Here are some of the main properties and benefits of this supplement:
For concreting at low temperatures using NITCAL S 45 additives, certain conditions and dosage rules must be observed:
The correct dosage of the NITCAL S 45 additive in accordance with the project requirements and climatic conditions can help achieve the necessary characteristics of concrete at low temperatures and ensure successful concreting.
How to concrete with an additive at low temperatures?
When performing concrete work on laying concrete industrial floors in low temperatures (below +5ºC), the following conditions must be observed:
1. The base on which the pouring is planned should not be frozen.
2. NITCAL S 45 is introduced into the concrete mixture simultaneously with the other components: cement, aggregate, water, plasticizer/superplasticizer. Mix in a concrete mixer (1÷5 min) until the mixture is homogeneous
How to dose NITCAL supplement?
NITCAL at a dosage of 0.2 -1.2% by weight of cement acts as an accelerator of setting time at 20ºC and thus increases strength at an early stage (for example, after 6-8 hours).
Due to the conversion of a small amount of ammonium in technical grade Calcium Nitrate into an amine during the reaction with epoxide, Calcium Nitrate is converted from a pure setting accelerator into a hardening accelerator.
At large doses (1-2%) it is introduced to long-term increase the strength characteristics of concrete.
At a dosage of 0.5 - 1% by weight of cement, it provides the best water resistance of concrete, intensifies the strength gain and increases the final strength by 20 - 30%.
Anti-frost additive NITCAL S45: Ensure the longevity of your construction work with the anti-frost additive NITCAL S45 from Protex. This powerful plasticizer is designed specifically for use in various types of concrete, mortar mixtures and building mixtures. One of the key benefits of NITCAL S45 is its ability to control the properties of concrete at low and sub-zero temperatures from 5°C to -25°C, making it an ideal choice for monolithic construction and other construction applications. This additive prevents the formation of efflorescence and reduces the crystallization temperature of water, providing the minimum required early strength of 5 MPa. NITCAL S45 also increases the final strength of finished concrete products and provides high frost resistance. Thanks to its universal chlorine-free formula, this additive maintains the consistency of the concrete mixture while reducing the water content of the batch by up to 10%. It also accelerates the hydration reaction of cement and the setting of concrete, ensuring the movement of the mixture. NITCAL S45 is the ideal choice for the preparation of concrete with a wide range of applications. This additive improves the performance properties of concrete, making it high-density, waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Concrete strengthened with this additive sets quickly and becomes more durable. In addition, it effectively compacts concrete, clogs pores, preventing brittleness and destruction. Choose NITCAL S45 anti-frost additive from Protex and trust your construction work to a reliable and advanced product. Your concrete will be strong, durable and will cope well with any conditions.
