HYDRASET-FREE®

NON-CHLORIDE CONCRETE SET ACCELERATOR
Speeds initial setting time...makes mix easier to place...saves time and money

SEALTIGHT HYDRASET-FREE Non-Chloride Concrete Set Accelerator is a ready-to-use, liquid admixture designed to speed initial setting time for concrete and mortar.

Technical Description
SEALTIGHT HYDRASET-FREE Non-Chloride Concrete Set Accelerator is a ready-to-use, liquid admixture. It accelerates initial setting time 1 to 3 times faster than normal for mortar and concrete. HYDRASET-FREE improves workability and strength while it hastens the hydration of cement. It makes the mix easier to place and speeds construction by shortening the initial set and curing time.

Labor and time are saved, because forms and other protection can be removed earlier...and finishing can be initiated. HYDRASET-FREE should not be limited to use during months when temperatures are in the 20º to 45ºF (-7º to +7ºC) range. Increased workability and earlier strength are also obtained when temperatures are in the 50º to 65ºF (10º to 18ºC) range, because any time the temperature drops below 70ºF (21ºC), there is a reduction in the rate of cement hydration. During cold and hot weather applications, follow 305 & 306 recommendations.

Uses
HYDRASET-FREE is recommended for use during cool and cold weather to reduce the risk of frozen mortar and concrete mixes. However, HYDRASET-FREE can be used any time the temperature drops below 70ºF (21ºC).

Features and Benefits

bulletAccelerates initial set time 1 to 3 times faster than normal for concrete and mortar
bulletAids in strength development
bulletHastens hydration of cement
bulletIncreases workability or density of mix in colder temperatures
bulletSpeeds construction due to reduced setting and curing time
bulletAllows earlier removal of concrete forms or other protection
bulletPermits earlier finishing
bulletVOC-compliant

Application
HYDRASET-FREE is added directly to the mix water. Reduce the amount of water proportionally to compensate for the liquid addition. For masonry mortar, 2 quarts (1.89 liters) of HYDRASET-FREE for 1 bag of cement should be used. For mortar cements which are 50% Portland Cement and 50% lime, 1/2 the amount, or 1 quart (950 ml) of HYDRASET-FREE is required.

Packaging

5 gallon (18.93 liter) Pails
55 gallon (208.20 liter) Drums

For concrete, the following quantities are recommended:
Temperature Range
Above 70ºF (21ºC)
70º to 32ºF (21º-0ºC)
32º to 25ºF (0º to-4ºC)
25º to 20ºF (-4º to-7ºC)
Suggested Quantity of HYDRASET-FREE
1 pt. (.47 l) per bag of cement
1 qt. (.95 l) per bag of cement
1 to 1-1/2 qts (.95 to 1.42 l) per bag of cement
2 qts. (1.89 l) per bag of cement

Specifications
ASTM C 494, Types C & E
AASHTO M 194, Type C
Corps of Engineers CRD C 87, Type C

Precautions
HYDRASET-FREE affects only the Portland Cement portion of the mix and is not an antifreeze for the water portion. Protect from freezing. HYDRASET-FREE has no effect on straight lime mortars and should not be used with oxychloride stuccos. Use HYDRASET-FREE directly from the factory-sealed container; do not dilute. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Product container provides complete application information. Read and follow application information and precautions. Refer to Material Safety DataSheet for Complete Health and Safety Information
