The rate at which a cement or gypsum mix gains strength determines not only construction timelines but also the final material properties. Overly rapid setting leaves too little time for placing and moulding, while excessively slow setting prolongs the process and delays striking. Alventus offers two groups of admixtures that enable precise tuning of hardening kinetics to match a specific technological task and temperature conditions.
Acceleration or Retardation – Choose Your Direction
The catalogue features products covering the full spectrum of setting time regulation:
- Set and hardening accelerators – chloride-free, anti-freeze admixtures for concretes, tile adhesives, plasters, and grouts. Calcium nitrate, sodium formate, and calcium formate provide rapid strength development at sub-zero temperatures without causing reinforcement corrosion or efflorescence. They enable year-round concreting without electrical heating.
- Set retarders – products designed to extend the pot life of gypsum and cementitious mixes. The complex gypsum converter SVV-500 increases product strength while providing additional moulding time, and tartaric acid gently retards hydration, preserving the grade strength of castings.
What You Gain by Working with Alventus
- Uninterrupted supply – all set and hardening modifiers are maintained in warehouse stock and dispatched within minimal lead times.
- Flexible pricing and volumes – terms are calculated individually based on your production needs and order regularity.
- Technical purity of products – every batch undergoes incoming inspection and complies with the declared composition and normative requirements.
- Quality-preserving logistics – hygroscopic formates and other moisture-sensitive materials are transported in hermetically sealed packaging, with full compliance with storage conditions.
- Technological consultations – we help you select the modifier type and calculate the dosage for your mix design and the climatic conditions of your site.
