Accelerator

ConTec NC-505 is a non-corroding, chloride free accelerator and as a result will not corrode reinforcing steel or pre-stressed strands in concrete. Use of this product promotes strength development of the concrete and meets ASTM C 494 requirements as a type C admixture. Because it increases hydration speed, NC-505 offsets the effects of cold weather

Features & Benefits

  • Compatible with all type of Portland cement
  • Offers a significant reduction in corrosion to steel reinforcing
  • Increases the early strength of a concrete mixture
  • Designed for use in cold weather concreting
  • Shortens setting time for concrete
  • Easily dispensed with conventional admix dispensers

Applications

ConTec NC-505 is compatible in concrete with all commercial air entraining admixtures. The amount used will depend upon the setting time of the non-admixture concrete and the temperature at placement. It may be added to the mix on the sand or in the water.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

packaging

ConTec NC-505 is available in packaged in 55 gallon (208 L) drums weighing 620 lb (281 kg) and 275 gallon (1041 L) totes weighing 3,150 lb (1,429 kg).

HANDLING & STORAGE

ConTec NC-505 will freeze at approximately -15 C. but can be completely restored by thawing and thorough agitation. It may cause irritation to eyes and skin upon contact. Proper protection should be worn.

ADDITION RATES

The dosage range is 0.5 – 2.6 liters per 100kg of cement. NC-505 at 0.78 – 0.98 liter per 100kg of cement will reduce the setting time of typical Type 1 cement concrete by 2-3 hours at (10 C) and 25 to 50% increase in 3 day compressive strength is normally achieved.
