DARASET® AF is a chloride-free, non-corrosive accelerating admixture for concrete which accelerates cement hydration resulting in shortened setting times. DARASET® AF is a brown aqueous solution of organic and inorganic compounds, and does not contain any chloride components such as calcium chloride. DARASET® AF is manufactured under controlled conditions to produce a consistent product which ensures uniform predictable performance when used. DARASET® AF has been formulated to comply to the requirements of: Australian Admixture Standard 1478 Type AC Classification Appendix C4 (c)(i).
DARASET® AF may be used to speed finishing operations and/or form removal, leading to savings in concrete construction costs. DARASET® AF can be used in any Portland cement mixes and produces similar results when mixed in mortar.
DARASET® AF is delivered in bulk and in 205L drums. Protect from freezing. Once frozen, the product should be thawed out slowly and remixed thoroughly prior to use.
DARASET® AF may be used from 250 to 1,500mL / 100kg total cementitious material. The exact dosage depends on the specific job conditions, on local materials, on the degree of set acceleration required and on the type of water reducer used. Typical dose rate is 500 to 1,000mL / 100kg of cementitious material. Trial mixes should be conducted in order to determine specific dose rates required for the desired performance.
Triethanolamine is present at less than 0.025% for a dose rate of 100mL / 100kg total cementitious material in a concrete mix.
DARASET® AF is compatible in concrete with all air entrainers such as DAREX AEA®, water reducers such as WRDA® and high range water reducers such as DARACEM® from GCP Applied Technologies.
DARASET® AF is compatible with all known admixture types currently available, but should be added to the mix separately and not premixed prior to addition.
A complete line of admixture dispensers is available. The dispensers are accurate and easy to maintain, and easily adapted to new or existing batching plants.
