How are the Setting Time and Compressive Strength of Concrete Affected by the Addition of Xypex Admix?
The setting time of concrete is affected by the chemical and physical composition of ingredients, temperature of the concrete an climatic conditions. Extension of set time may occur when using Xypex Admix. The amount of extended set will depend upon the concrete mix design and the dosage rate of the Admix. Concrete containing Xypex Admix may develop higher ultimate strengths than plain concrete. Trial mixes should be carried out under project conditions to determine setting time and strength of the concrete.
