Concrete admixtures are the ingredients in concrete that are added to the mix immediately before or during mixing. Producers use admixtures primarily to reduce the cost of concrete construction; to modify the properties of hardened concrete; to ensure the quality of concrete during mixing, transporting, placing, and curing; and to overcome certain emergencies during concrete operations.
What is it
Anomex CA is a calcium nitrate solution developed for the construction industry as a multi-purpose concrete admixture which is used as a concrete setting accelerator even in cold temperatures.
Why and when to use it
Anomex CA is used to cast concrete in extremely cold temperatures. It also works to prevent corrosion in reinforced concrete by forming an oxide protective layer around the steel reinforcement which helps to strengthen and increase the lifetime of the structure.
What to expect
Overall the ability to cast concrete in extremely cold temperatures, to prevent corrosion in reinforced concrete and counterbalance of retardation process due to other admixtures.
