Admixtures

Air entraining admixtures are used to stabilize microscopic air bubbles in concrete, which will improve the durability of concrete when experiencing freezing and thawing weather.

Euclid Chemical provides a range of admixtures to meet the needs of the block, paver, roof tile, hollow core slab and dry-cast pipe producers. These products are used to improve the production efficiency, performance, and visual appeal of machine-made concrete products.

Accelerating admixtures are added to shorten the set time of concrete and speed up early strength development.

Set retarding admixtures are used to slow the setting time of concrete. By slowing initial set time, concrete mixtures are able to maintain fresh plastic properties for a longer period of time. This will reduce permeability, cracking, improve late age strength of heat treated concrete and extend the workability in hot weather.

Water Reducers are used to give longer and better workability, slump retention and can reduce water demand by 5 - 10%.

Mid-Range Water Reducers are used to reduce the water demand between 5% and 15%, achieve longer slump retention and give greater workability to concrete then normal ASTM C 494 Type A water reducers.

High-Range Water Reducers are used to reduce water demand at 12 - 30%. Giving the best workability, having superior slump retention and aiding in the production of High Performance Concrete (HPC) and Self Consolidating Concrete (SCC).

Euclid Chemical provides a range of specialty concrete admixtures and additives to help produce, place and finish various types of concrete mixtures.

Powdered Admixtures that come in pulpable bags for mixing.

Dust Control, Equipment Cleaners, Form Release Agents, as well as Surface and Evaporation Retarders can be found in the following categories.
