Calcium Chloride

Calcium Chloride is a product that can be added to any portland cement based product to accelerate the rate of cement hydration.

Uses
Calcium Chloride is used for a variety of cement based construction needs including readymix concrete, stucco, and mortars for commercial, industrial, and residential applications. It is used in new construction or replacement of driveways, floors, poured walls, footings, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, patios, steps, porches, and swimming pools. Calcium Chloride is also used for making cinder blocks, concrete brick, pre-cast concrete shapes, septic tanks, prestressed forms, and burial vaults.

Benefits

• Reduces setting time- Both initial and final.
• Provides high early strength so finishing work can begin more quickly and be completed earlier.
• Allows the shoring to be removed earlier and forms can be reused earlier.
• Helps protect concrete from potential freezing damage, while reducing heating and concrete protection costs.
• Reduces water requirements, which reduces bleeding and improves workability.
