Description
Calcium Formate is a white crystal with excellent fluidity, which is often used as an setting-Accelerator in mortar. In dry-mixed mortar products, such as thermal insulation mortar, tile adhesive, cement-based plaster, repair mortar, etc., high-alumina cement and gypsum are usually used as coagulants in order to improve the early strength. At low temperatures, it is also necessary to add antifreeze. Calcium formate has a dual role as a new type of setting-accelerator that can accelerate the hardening speed of cement, improve the early strength, and avoid the slow setting speed of mortar in winter construction or low temperature and humidity. This facilitates the mortar to be put into use as early as possible, especially contributing to the early strength. The growth in the consumption of cement from the construction industry effectively boosts the demand for calcium formate in the market.
Calcium formate is a kind of setting-Accelerator that can accelerates concrete/mortar coagulation and hardening, which means it can:-
Shorten the initial setting time.
Normallzies the cement/mortar retardation under low temperature conditions.
Increase the rate of early strength growth.
Shorten the mould closing time in the module during the production of concrete prefabricated parts.
Shorten the time of concrete reaching load capacity.
