Set Retarding Plasticizers for Tunneling and Construction Works – Quality with Ichem

What Are Set Retarding Plasticizers?

Set retarding plasticizers are chemical admixtures added to concrete to delay the setting or hardening process.
Also known as retarders or superplasticizers, these admixtures are characterized by their ability to:

• Maintain workability of concrete for longer periods.

• Facilitate transporting concrete over long distances without losing quality.

• Provide construction teams with extra time to handle concrete before it hardens.

Applications of Plasticizers in Underground and Tunnel Works

Set retarding plasticizer admixtures play a vital role in large infrastructure projects, especially in:

• Filling voids around tunnel boring machines (TBMs).

• Concrete casting in underground structures under construction, where extended working times are required.

• Ensuring homogeneity and consistency of concrete under challenging conditions such as high pressure or elevated temperatures.
