Rapid Set

FLOW Control

Additive to Increase Strength and Fluidity
PRODUCT DATASHEET

DESCRIPTION: Rapid Set® FLOW CONTROL is a flow enhancing additive that allows higher fluidity or lower water requirement. Reducing water content by adding FLOW CONTROL will increase the final strength and durability.

USES: FLOW CONTROL is suitable for use with most Rapid Set cement products. Add up to 2 packets of FLOW CONTROL per bag of cement product to increase fluidity, and/or increase strength to satisfy jobsite requirements. A trial batch is recommended to fine-tune the dosage. FLOW CONTROL may be used in combination with other Rapid Set admixtures. Refer to the Rapid Set Concrete Modifier Technical Bulletin for usage guidelines.

DIRECTIONS: Place desired amount of potable water into the mixing container. Add half cement product and mix with a mechanical drill/mixer. Continue mixing while adding FLOW CONTROL, then add the remaining cement product into the mixing container. Follow product mixing instructions on the package of the cement product. Mix to a workable, lump-free consistency. Do NOT exceed 2 packets per 50-lb to 70-lb bag of Rapid Set branded cement product. Too much water in the mixture may cause aggregate segregation, which can reduce strength.

PACKAGING: FLOW CONTROL is available in 0.4 oz (12 g) packets.

SHELF LIFE: FLOW CONTROL has a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly in a dry location, protected from moisture, out of direct sunlight, and in an undamaged package.
