Accelerators
Using accelerators in dry-mix compounds can have several benefits, including faster setting times, improved early strength, and enhanced workability. However, using them appropriately is essential to avoid adverse effects on the final product’s long-term strength and durability. Additionally, some accelerators can increase the risk of shrinkage and cracking, so using them carefully and by the manufacturer’s recommendations is essential.
Additives such as Aluminum Sulfate, Calcium Formate, and Lithium Carbonate can accelerate the setting times of dry-mix compounds such as cement mortars, tile adhesives, glass fiber-reinforced cement, self-leveling compounds, and industrial grouts. These additives can help speed up the setting process and improve the final product’s overall performance.
