Accelerators

Non-Chloride Accelerators

  • AdvanSet NC

    Riteks AdvanSet™ NC is a is a non-chloride, water-reducing accelerator for concrete. It promotes higher early and ultimate strengths; especially in concrete exposed to temperatures below freez-ing. Concrete placed in colder weather with AdvanSet NC is able to maintain normal set times without the introduction of chloride-bearing components. AdvanSet NC is recommended for use in: precast, site cast, and all other steel reinforced concrete.

Calcium Chloride Accelerators

  • AdvanSet

    Riteks AdvanSet™ is an accelerating admixture designed to advance the normal set time of concrete. This calcium chloride based admixture is multi purpose as it improves workability, compressive and flexural strengths. This material is compatible with all of the Riteks admixtures including the high range and mid range water reducers.

Air Entrainers

  • A-Train FF

    A-Train FF is a specialty solution of selected surfactants for use as an Admixture for Cellular and Pre-Foamed Lightweight Concrete and for use as a Synthetic Air Entraining Admixture for Concrete. When used with a Foam Generator and a suitable water supply, A-Train FF produces a consistent pre-foam that is stable under alkaline conditions and suitable for use in the production of foamed concrete. Foamed concrete is the industry term used for the product produced by the controlled addition of a pre-foam to a cement grout or sand/cement mortar. A range of densities can be produced, typically from 20 to 100 lb/ft³. Foamed concrete is lightweight and highly mobile, able to flow for long distances under its own hydraulic head, and is an ideal material for uses such as void filling, roof screeds and trench reinstatement

  • A-Train VR

    Riteks A-Train™ VR is a concentrated neutralized vinsol resin admixture for entraining air in concrete. A-Train VR will increase resistance to damage from cyclic freeze/thawing and scaling from deicing salts and will improve plasticity and workability.

  • A-Train PR

    Riteks A-Train™ PR is an admixture for entraining air in concrete. A-Train PR introduces millions of uniformly sized spaced air voids throughout the concrete mixture and has been proven to be far more resistant to freezing and thawing than plain concrete. A-Train PR in hardened concrete reduces permeability and enhances the resistance to surface deterioration caused by de-icing chemicals.

Dry-Cast & Masonry Products

  • Riteks ES-2000

    ES-2000 is specially formulated for cost efficient production of concrete masonry and pipe units. It has the ability to aid in the dispersion of cement particles to promote better early strengths. Masonry and pipe units manufactured using ES-2000 have a better appearance (medium to heavy swipe depending on materials) and are less abrasive on mold equipment.

  • Riteks LSP-2000

    LSP-2000 is a highly concentrated plasticizer that is designed for use in low slump concrete pipe and hollow core production. LSP-2000 is formulated to produce a web on the concrete pipe that has a very smooth texture.

    LSP-2000 can be used in the production of other low slump concrete products (concrete block and roof tile) to achieve a medium to heavy swipe.

    LSP-2000 is a ready to use liquid that improves workability while maintaining cohesiveness and achieves fuller hydration rates of the cement in low slump concrete mixes.

  • Riteks WATERPEL-S

    WATERPEL-S is a unique multi-component, liquid water repellant admixture based on a new technology that exhibits superior performance versus conventional water repellents.

    WATERPEL-S provides long-lasting resistance to water penetration by reacting to form a very effective water resistant network throughout manufactured concrete products.

    WATERPEL-S, when incorporated properly in concrete masonry units, will provide superior water repellency performance based on NCMA TEK 19, spray bar test and ASTM E514 wind driven rain test.

Set Retarders and Hydration Control

Hydration Stabilizers

  • HydraStop

    Riteks HydraStop™ is a hydration stabilizer which helps maintain slump and proper set times of freshly produced concrete over extended haul times and increased ambient temperatures. Hydra-Stop is used to offset issues caused by extended haul times, excess drum revolutions or the effects of temperature and time.

    HydraStop is especially helpful in the summer months when hydration is accelerated due to higher ambient and mix temperatures. HydraStop aids in controlling concrete temperature when a maximum mix temperature is specified. Concrete performance properties are maintained while exceeding the requirements of ASTM, AASHTO and CRD specifications.

Specialty Admixtures

  • Riteks SRA – 157

    SRA-157 is a liquid shrinkage-reducing admixture, which can be used, in any Portland cement-based product to significantly decrease drying shrinkage. SRA-157 is not expansive material, but rather functions by blocking capillaries of pore water, which is the major mechanism that causes drying shrinkage in concrete. SRA-157 when added to concrete at a rate of 2 % by weight of cementitious can reduce shrinkage (ASTM C 157) by up to 80% at 28 days of age and by up to 50% at one year of age.
