Liquid antifreeze containing chloride is specifically intended for use in the production of non-reinforced concrete.<\/p>\n
How does chloride-based concrete antifreeze work?<\/strong> On the other hand, chlorides lower the freezing point of water in the concrete mix. This means that the water present in the concrete does not freeze at lower temperatures, allowing the hydration process to proceed fully.<\/p>\n The advantage of using chloride-based concrete antifreeze is that it enables concreting in cold weather. By using this type of antifreeze, concreting can be carried out at temperatures below 5 \u00b0C. This allows contractors to continue their projects during the winter season and avoid delays and increased costs. Due to the shorter setting time, formwork can be removed sooner and subsequent construction stages can begin earlier, which in turn accelerates the overall project progress.<\/p>\n Considerations:<\/strong> Properties and Effects<\/strong> Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nChloride-based concrete antifreeze works through two main mechanisms: accelerating the hydration process and lowering the freezing point of water. In terms of accelerating hydration, chlorides act as accelerators and increase the reaction rate between cement and water. This, in turn, shortens the setting time of concrete and allows it to reach its early strength more quickly.<\/p>\n
\nPlease note that due to the presence of chloride in its formulation, liquid antifreeze for cementitious mortars is not suitable for use in reinforced concrete, as it causes corrosion of reinforcement bars and ultimately leads to concrete deterioration. Chloride-based liquid antifreeze is suitable for addition to plastering mortars and non-reinforced concretes.<\/p>\n
