Hydrakem™ Hydration Stabilizing Additive

Hydrakem™ is a chloride-free hydration stabilizing admixture for use in ready-mixed concrete. Developed for concretes that require greater control over the initial hydration of the cement .

Aditivo estabilizador de hidratação sob alta temperatura

Hydrakem™ is an additive that controls the initial hydration reactions of cement, allowing predictable control over the behavior of concrete in its fresh state and its hardening . It also improves slump retention during transport when used in conjunction with the standard multifunctional additive.

It can be used to reuse the wash water stored inside concrete mixer trucks, providing safe water recycling for new concrete production, without adverse effects on the setting and hardening of the new concrete.

This sustainable way of reusing non-renewable resources reduces the environmental impact of concrete production , especially in large urban centers.

Furthermore, it is possible to reuse unused concrete by stabilizing it with Hydrakem™ for periods of a few hours or up to 72 hours in a predictable and safe manner.

Hydration stabilizer additive for concrete transport.

Hydrakem™ is used as a hydration stabilizing additive in concrete batching plants for the production of:

  • Concrete in hot climates ;

  • Concrete transported over long distances;

  • Stabilization of wash water inside the concrete mixer for reuse;

  • Stabilization of mortar produced in a batching plant;

  • Reusing returned concrete;

  • Shotcrete;

  • Mass concrete or RCC;

  • Foundation blocks;

  • Other types of concrete.

What are the advantages of using the Hydrakem™ hydration stabilizing additive?

Hydrakem™ is a cement hydration stabilizer that meets a wide range of applications in controlling cement hydration and prolonging the plastic state of concrete . The main advantages of its use are listed below:

  • Control over the initial hydration of the concrete to improve slump retention during long transport periods;

  • Recommended for use as a stabilizing additive in wash water for reuse in concrete mixer trucks.

  • Extending setting and hardening times in a controlled manner, allowing concrete to be poured after long periods;

  • Free of chlorides and acids, eliminating any risk of corrosion of the reinforced concrete reinforcement due to the influence of the additive;

  • Neutral pH, poses no risk to the operator during handling;

  • Stability during storage without sediment formation or clogging of tank dispensers and valves.
