Accelerator

ConTec NC-537P is a non-corroding, chloride free accelerator/plasticizer blend. As a result, it does not corrode metal block and paver pallets or machine parts. Use it to promote early strength development and ease of manufacturing in concrete masonry unit (CMU) mix designs.  By increasing hydration speed, NC-537P helps offset the effects of cold weather. Use it year-round to shorten time between CMU manufacture and splitting or tumbling.

Features & Benefits

  • Compatible with all type of Portland cement
  • Ideal in masonry units that will be split or tumbled shortly after manufacturing
  • Increases the early strength of a concrete mixture
  • Plasticizer component adds lubricity to mix
  • Consolidates accelerating and plasticizing admixes into one economical product
  • Easily dispensed with conventional admix dispensers

Applications

ConTec NC-537P is compatible in all CMU mixes. It may be added to the mix on the sand or in the water.
