Potassium Carbonate

• Construction Concrete Admixture Concrete Admixture Accelerators

  Potassium Carbonate (K2CO3) is a set-time accelerator used as a concrete admixture additive. One of the advantages of using potassium carbonate as a set-time accelerator is that it can work in both hot and cold weather conditions. It can be added to the concrete mix to speed up the setting time, allowing for faster construction and reduced labor costs.

  Concrete can set too quickly in hot weather, leading to cracking and other issues. By adding potassium carbonate, the set time can be accelerated, reducing the risk of cracking.

  In cold weather, concrete can take longer to set, delaying construction. Using Potassium Carbonate can help speed up the setting time, allowing construction to continue even in cold temperatures.
