What are the unique features of MasterSet Delvo Easy unique solution?
Hydration of concrete washwater and fresh concrete in ready-mix drums by forming a protective barrier around cementitious particles. This barrier prevents Portland cement, fly-ash, silica fume and ground-granulated blast-furnace slag from achieving initial set. This barrier either wears off through time or by the addition of fresh concrete.
The morning after overnight or weekend stabilisation, the MasterSet Delvo Easy treated washwater or concrete is combined with freshly batched concrete and sent to the job site.
