DetailsMost accelerators, especially alkali-containing accelerators, exhibit negative effects on long-term strength, shrinkage and durability of cement-based materials. The incorporation of reinforcement, supplementary cementitious materials, chemical admixtures etc. is a feasible approach to overcome these negative effects.
DetailsAlkaline Accelerators: Alkaline accelerators, also known as alkali-based accelerators, contain alkali compounds such as sodium or potassium hydroxide. These accelerators work by increasing the alkalinity of the concrete mixture, which promotes the reaction between cement and water, resulting in faster setting and early strength development.
