Slump Retain 240

Riteks Slump Retain 240 is a revolutionary new technology based on significant advances in the admixture industry. When used as part of an admixture system, it provides slump retention without retardation. Slump Retain 240 gives the concrete producer the ability to immediately create the ideal admixture system for fluctuating regional raw materials, environmental conditions and project requirements.

HydraStop

Riteks HydraStop™ is a hydration stabilizer that helps maintain slump and proper set times of freshly produced concrete over extended haul times and increased ambient temperatures. Hydra-Stop can offset issues caused by extended haul times, excess drum revolutions or the effects of temperature and time. HydraStop helps in the summer months when hydration is accelerated due to higher ambient and mix temperatures. HydraStop helps control concrete temperature when a maximum mix temperature is specified. Concrete performance properties are maintained while exceeding the requirements of ASTM, AASHTO and CRD specifications.
