Standard Delayed Set

During the hottest days on the job, the last thing you need is fast-setting concrete. Unfortunately, because the hydration process is powered by heat, concrete sets up very quickly in hot weather. Using a set retarding admixture, such as Fritz-Pak Standard Delay Set, is an easy, cost-effective way to reduce the problems caused by hot weather concreting. Whether you need to keep the concrete fresh on the way to the job or are looking for additional time to work with the concrete, Standard Delay Set offers a practical solution. Adding one bag of Standard Delay Set provides up to four hours of retardation per cubic yard of concrete. Need even more time? No problem. You can keep adding bags until the concrete starts to achieve the initial set. Like our other set retarding admixture, Mini Delay Set, Standard Delay Set does not contain hazardous materials and comes packaged in our signature, water-soluble bags.
