- Concreting in cold weather
- Concreting in slopes
- In cases such as repairing concrete surfaces needing fast setting.
AA-1 Concrete accelerator
AA-1 concrete accelerator is produced based on active chemicals chemically reacting with cement accelerates concrete setting by speeding up cement’s hydration.
AA-1 concrete accelerator has no adverse effect on concrete and reduces setting time by at least one hour, according to ASTM C494.
AA-1 concrete accelerator is produced and offered according to ASTM C494.

- Remarks
- Technical specifications table
- Reduction of formwork stripping time, reduction of concrete permeability
- Acceleration of achieving initial strength, therefore, earlier loading
- Preventing concrete freezing in winter
- Add AA-1 Accelerator to dry mix of cement and aggregate, mix for 3 minutes, then add water at the end.
- Theamount of AA-1 used is about 0.1 to 1.5 weight percent of cement.
- If a faster setting is required, use of AA-1 Concrete accelerator will be allowable up to 5 weight percent of cement.
