Accelerating admixture for concrete
ACCELGUARD® STANDARD is a chloride based, multi-purpose concrete admixture designed to accelerate the normal setting time of concrete. ACCELGUARD® STANDARD improves the plastic and hardened properties of concrete such as workability, compressive and flexural strengths, and freeze-thaw resistance. ACCELGUARD® STANDARD densifies concrete and reduces its permeability. ACCELGUARD® STANDARD is compatible with water reducing agents and air-entraining agents but should be added separately to the concrete mix.
