Darcole Products DNS 130

DNS 130 is a multi-component, chloride-free, water-reducing accelerator for concrete. It promotes higher early and ultimate strengths, as it can be used year-round, even with temperatures below freezing. Concrete using DNS 130, which is placed in colder weather, maintains normal setting times without the introduction of chloride-bearing components. DNS 130 is especially effective to use in prestressed concrete repair, pre-stressed concrete, concrete bridge decks, pre-cast, site-cast and all steel-reinforced concrete, concrete over metal decking and roof systems, concrete subject to 20°F temperatures.

Functions: Accelerator, Water Reducing Agent

Features: Anti-Freezing, Faster Stripping, Good Cohesion Development, High Strength, Improved Compressive Strength, Improved Flexural Strength, Improved Plasticity

Features & Benefits

Advantage
  • Reduces bleeding and segregation, Increases early and ultimate strengths both flexural and compressive.
  • Earlier use of structural concrete.
  • Accelerates set time.
  • Aids in prevention of concrete from freezing at higher dosages.
  • Faster stripping and reuse forms.
  • Provides earlier finishing of slabs.
  • Cohesiveness and plasticity improved, which aids in avoiding honeycombing.
  • Protection time require in cold weather is reduced.
  • Rate in which heat is generated during hydration is increased, which promotes earlier setting and finishing strength gain.
  • Superior finish ability on all flatwork and pre-cast surfaces.
Physical Data

DNS 130 does not contain calcium chloride or any chloride-based components.

Applications & Uses

Application

DNS 130 is recommended for use at a dosage rate 18 oz/100lbs for 1%, 36oz/100lbs for 2%, or 3 gallons/100 gallons mix water for 1%, 6 gallons/100 gallons mix water for 2%.

Limitations

DNS 130 may freeze at temperatures below 5°F. Although freezing does not harm DNS 130, precautions should be taken to protect it from freezing.
