Chryso®Xel Time 68

Set accelerating admixture
Chloride-free

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.
