Set Retarder

EN 934-2 T 8

EKAN®GCT 30 is a retarding and plasticizing admixture. It enhances the slump retention performance by extending the setting time of concrete in climates with high temperatures. Helping reduce the hydration heat within the concrete, it contributes to the increase in the 28-day concrete strength.

EKAN®GCT 30 offers the following advantages:

  • Improves concrete workability.

  • Reduces concrete segregation.

  • Provides excellent finishing capability on site concrete and formwork surfaces.

  • Delays setting time in a controlled manner depending on the dosage.

  • Provides flexibility in concrete placement and finishing schedules.
