Mortar anti freeze

Freezing of concrete and mortar and subsequent thawing of frozen concrete after hardening is always one of the important problems regarding the stability of concrete. It is imperative to consider the prevention of freezing of fresh concrete as well as the conditions of concreting in cold weather. Powdered antifreeze admixture for mortar is a suitable additive based on calcium chlorides and mineral salts to lower the freezing point of mortar and concrete, accelerate setting and intensify heat generation, which is formulated, produced and offered in specific proportions for concreting in cold weather. Due to the presence of chlorine ions in the concrete antifreeze formulation, it is not recommended for use in reinforced concrete.

Antifreeze powder mortar is specially used in cement mortars and unreinforced concrete. It should be explained that in concreting or mortaring conditions in cold weather, if the concrete or mortar that has not yet reached its initial setting freezes based on the cold air, it will cause the total volume of the concrete or mortar to increase, and eventually freeze, which will occur as a result of the freezing of the mixed water. In the reflection of freezing of concrete, because the amount of water that should have reacted in the hydration process is frozen, it will delay the setting and hardening of the concrete. Until the ambient temperature decreases, the setting process will not occur. (Note that after the frozen water in the mixture melts, the concrete must be vibrated again.) In this case, the expansion that occurs during freezing will cause the concrete and mortar to set with a large volume of pores in the mixture, which will also disrupt the desired strength, and we will naturally witness a drop in strength. Therefore, if the freezing of the concrete occurs before it sets and acquires the necessary initial durability, serious damage will be caused to the concrete, but if this freezing occurs after it sets and acquires the desired initial strength, the concrete will have greater tolerance to freezing.

Mortar antifreeze powder is an essential additive in the cold weather construction industry. Cement antifreeze is a type of cement accelerator in powder form. When added to ready-mixed or traditional cement mortars, it accelerates their mechanical strength at low temperatures, reduces setting time, and prevents freezing during early concrete ages.
