Antifreeze Concrete Admixtures

ARSET FRIZ Series

ARSET FRIZ SERIES products are antifreeze concrete admixture that protects the concrete from freezing and ensures high quality pouring of concrete where it is necessary to postpone pouring the concrete due to cold weather and risk of frost.

Performance

Product advantages

  • Accelerates setting time of concrete by accelerating hydration reaction of cement in cold weather.
  • In order to prevent freezing, it enables the concrete to reach its minimum compressive strength (4-5 N / mm²) rapidly.
  • Do not contain chloride or any other components that result in corrosion in the reinforcements. Therefore, it is suitable for use in reinforced concrete structures.

Application range

Areas of use

  • For concrete production where very high early strength is required
  • Concrete production in cold weather
  • Where frost effect is expected
  • When sudden temperature drop is expected
  • Multi-reinforced concrete
  • In ready-mix concrete, in pouring precast and prefabricated concrete
  • Where it is necessary to mold early or load the molds quickly
  • It can be used in combination with normal and superplasticizers however using in combination with admixtures that have retarding effect is not recommended

From selection
to application.

01

Application

ARSET FRIZ SERIES products may be added with the mixing water or simultaneously during the mixing water is introduced to the concrete. It can also be added to the fresh ready mix concrete at the concrete plant or construction site.

02

Dosage

ARSET FRIZ SERIES products’ dosage should be adjusted according to the total amount of binder in the mixture design. This ratio varies according to the cement, aggregate, mineral additive, water components used in concrete mixture design and also the desired fresh and hardened concrete properties. Therefore, before determining the usage rate, laboratory tests should be made according to the properties expected from fresh and hardened concrete and the mixing ratio should be determined according to these tests.

Storage

Shelf life is 12 months from the date of production when stored in original unopened and undamaged packages (drums, barrels, IBC containers) at temperatures between +5 °C and +35 °C, protecting from direct sunlight, excessive heat and frost. If the product has waited for a long time, make it homogeneous by mixing slowly at low speed with mechanical methods before using the product. Make sure that the product does not freeze. If the product freezes, it should be thawed by keeping it at room temperature without using direct heat and mixed by mechanical methods until it becomes homogeneous.
