DESCRIPTION: Rapid Set® SET CONTROL is a retarding admixture that extends the working time when placing and finishing Rapid Set cement products.
USES: SET CONTROL is suitable for use with most Rapid Set cement products. Add up to 3 packets of SET CONTROL per bag of cement product to increase working time. Use SET CONTROL with Rapid Set cement products ONLY. SET CONTROL is ideal when additional working time is needed or to compensate for warm temperatures. One packet of SET CONTROL will extend the initial working time by approximately 10 to 20 minutes in normal conditions and does not reduce the long-term strength. SET CONTROL may be used in combination with other Rapid Set® admixtures. Refer to the Rapid Set Concrete Modifier Technical Bulletin for usage guidelines.
DIRECTIONS: Dissolve SET CONTROL into the mixing water prior to adding cement product. A trial batch is recommended to fine tune the working time to match job site conditions.
BULK USE: 35-lb pails of SET CONTROL are also available for concrete mix designs. SET CONTROL is recommended for use at a dosage of 0.1 to 1 lb/cwt (45 to 450 grams/cwt) of cementitious materials for most concrete mixes. For high temperatures, dosages slightly higher than the recommended range may be required. SET CONTROL can also be pre-mixed with water to create a liquid admixture. Please contact a CTS Engineering Sales Representative for more specific dosage guidelines and recommendation.
PACKAGING: SET CONTROL is available in 0.9 oz (25 g), and 35 lb (16 kg) sizes.
SHELF LIFE: SET 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.
