Hydration-Stabilizing Admixture for Concrete
Polychem Renu is a ready-to-use liquid solution manufactured to control the hydration process in Portland-cement concretes and concrete washwater. This advanced-set retarder coats the hydrating cement particles in the concrete and washwater, resulting in the suspension of the hydration chemical reaction. Polychem Renu maintains the plasticity, slump and temperature as it postpones the set of the concrete for a predictable period of time. Eventually, the Polychem Renu dosage is chemically consumed, allowing normal hydration to continue.
Polychem Renu meets or exceeds the ASTM C494 and AASHTO M194 Type B and Type D requirements.
