Costarcel 100
COSTARCEL 100 is a chloride-based concrete set accelerator, supplied as a ready-to-use liquid admixture. It significantly accelerates the initial setting time of mortar and concrete, making it up to three times faster than normal, without causing any adverse effects on other concrete and mortar properties.
By incorporating COSTARCEL 100, workability and strength of the mixture are improved while promoting faster cement hydration. This results in easier placement of the mix and speeds up construction by reducing the initial set and curing time, all without causing any slump loss. The use of this admixture allows for earlier removal of formwork and other protective measures and enables an earlier start to finishing, saving both time and labor.
In applications requiring very high early strengths under normal and hot weather conditions, COSTARCEL 100 performs exceptionally well. It is specifically designed for situations where early stiffening (slump loss) is not desirable, yet high early strengths must be achieved within a specified time frame.

Features
- Chloride free, safe in pre-stressed and reinforced concrete
- Allows continued placing of concrete at low temperatures
- Gives additional frost protection by reducing the low water content and accelerating hydration of cement
- Reduces segregation and increases density and comprehensive strength
- Can be used for concrete repair especially areas requiring SCC repair compounds High Flow and Fluidity and controlled expansion
- Allows for early stripping and re use of forms
- No effect on slump
Uses
- Concrete requiring fast stripping times
- Self-compacting concrete
- Pile cap re-profiling
- As a substitute for rapid hardening cement
- Pre-cast elements
- Can also be used in cold climates where accelerated strength development is necessary
