Results for tag: "Retarder"

Retarders are materials used in civil engineering to reduce the rate of hydration of cement, allowing for more control over the setting and hardening of concrete. Retarders are used in a variety of applications, including bridge decks, roadways, and other large-scale construction projects. They are also used in the production of precast concrete products, such as pipes, blocks, and slabs. Retarders are typically added to the concrete mix in small amounts, and can be either liquid or powder form. Retarders are an important part of civil engineering, as they allow for more precise control over the setting and hardening of concrete. This can help to reduce the risk of cracking and other structural issues, as well as improve the overall quality of the finished product. Some companies in the retarder market include BASF, Sika, Fosroc, and GCP Applied Technologies. Show Less Read more
