K-Set is a non-corrosive, non-chloride accelerating admixture that speeds concrete setting time and boosts early strength
K-Set contains no calcium chloride, avoiding the corrosive effects that chloride-based accelerators have on reinforcing steel. It's formulated for cold weather use or anywhere reduced setting time, higher early strength, and improved workability are needed.
Key Features & Benefits
- Non-corrosive — contains no calcium chloride
- Accelerates cement hydration for shorter setting times and high early strength
- Improves workability and helps prevent segregation
- Aids early stiffening for mortar and stucco mixes
- Shortens setting times by one to three hours
- Helps protect against freezing by accelerating early strength gain
- VOC compliant; meets ASTM C494 and ASTM C270
Application Instructions
- Add K-Set to water, sand, or the complete mix — do not add to dry cement or let it contact other additives before entering the mortar
- For masonry cement, add 10-25 oz per bag depending on the degree of acceleration needed
- For Portland cement, add 18-46 oz per bag
- Determine the exact rate by testing the actual job materials
- Decreases water requirements by approximately 4-8%
Packaging
Available in 5-gallon pails (pack of 6) and 55-gallon drums.
