Set Retarders & Hydration Control

Unlike conventional methods that may compromise the quality of your concrete, Riteks offers products that can be seamlessly integrated into your production process, providing an efficient way to counter issues caused by extended haul times, excess drum revolutions, or the effects of temperature and time.

For example, HydraStop™ is a hydration stabilizer that comes to the rescue during summer months when hydration is accelerated due to higher ambient and mixed temperatures. It helps control the concrete temperature when a maximum mix temperature is specified, maintaining concrete performance properties while exceeding ASTM, AASHTO, and CRD specifications.

SYAD™ 40 is a retarding admixture recommended for all concrete where extended setting characteristics, particularly in hot weather, are desired.

Whether you need to manage concrete set times, combat hot weather conditions, or simply improve the overall efficiency of your operations, Riteks set retarders and hydration control products offer a robust, reliable, and cost-effective solution.
