Cemax B-600

Water Reducing and Initial Set Retarder

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CEMAX B-600 is specially formulated with organic copolymer to delay the initial setting of the concrete mixed. It controls the concrete slump drop rate and enhances the workability of concrete. It is specially designed for hot weather concreting work.

APPLICATIONS

CEMAX B-600 is used in Ready Mixed Concrete Plants and is especially used in situations where extended setting times are desirable, such as when working with large volumes of concrete and in hot weather conditions. CEMAX B-600 can also be used in all general concrete works to enhance workability, better flow and improved finishing without excessive set delays.

ADVANTAGES

? Preventing the formation of cold joints in large pours.

? Improve workability.

? Reduces cracking and better finishing.

? Extended working time

? Minimize temperature and shrinkage cracks.

? Improve concrete durability.
