Anti-freeze Powder for Rapid Concrete Set

What is Anti-Freeze Powder for Mortar?

Anti-freeze powder for mortar is an additive based on calcium chlorides and mineral salts designed to lower the freezing point of mortar and concrete, accelerate setting, and enhance heat generation. It is specifically formulated for use in concrete pouring in cold weather. This product is not recommended for use in reinforced concrete due to the chloride ions. It is primarily for use in cementitious mortars and unreinforced concretes, particularly in cold and freezing regions.

In general, this product is an additive that prevents freezing of the mortar during cold weather. It is available in powder form and, as mentioned above, increases the resistance of the mortar against freezing and other cold-related effects. Using this additive in mortar enhances its durability and service life, improving both strength and longevity.

Properties and Effects of Anti-Freeze Powder for Mortar

• Increased setting speed and hardening of concrete and mortar
• Enhanced heat generation of concrete and early strength development
• Improved durability and resistance to freezing
• Reduced freezing point of water and concrete

Applications of Anti-Freeze Powder for Mortar

• Suitable for cold and freezing regions
• When rapid temperature drops are expected
• Quick-setting concrete for rapid use of concrete structures
• Used in unreinforced concrete due to the presence of chloride ions

Usage Method of Anti-Freeze Powder for Mortar

There are two ways to use:

1. Mix it simultaneously with the water used for the concrete mix
2. Add it after mixing the concrete or mortar

Consumption Rate of Anti-Freeze Powder for Mortar

The weight percentage of the anti-freeze powder relative to the weight of cement in different concrete mixes:
