Technical Data Sheet Declaration Of Performances Safety Data Sheet Description Chryso® Xel Time 68 is a chloride-free set accelerating admixture designed to speed up the setting and hardening of concrete. It acts as a catalyst during the early stages of cement hydration, particularly in low-temperature conditions where reaction rates are reduced. By accelerating the initial hydration process, the product reduces setting time and significantly increases early-age strength development. This makes it particularly effective in cold weather concreting, where it helps minimise delays and reduces the risk of frost-related damage to fresh concrete. Chryso® Xel Time 68 is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including ready-mix, precast, and prestressed concrete. It is compatible with all types of cement, including mixes containing fly ash or ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS), allowing flexibility across different mix designs. Application areas Ready-mix concrete Precast concrete Pre-stressed concrete Cold weather concrete Concretes requiring reduced setting characteristics Concretes requiring increased early age strength Compatibility with Cements All types of cement Pulverised fuel ash Ground granulated blastfurnace slag We recommend contacting our Technical Department for use with special cements. Benefits Accelerated concrete setting. Increased early concrete strengths. Improved production rates. Cement reduction without early-age strength loss. Increased rate of setting in cold temperatures. Increased early strength with cement replacements. Packaging Container of 1000L 215 L Barrel
