TEMPtect™
All-Season Concrete
TEMPtect™ is engineered to help overcome the challenges of placing concrete in extreme temperatures, extending the construction season into colder winter conditions and warmer summer months.
Developed with the needs of Canadian construction in mind, TEMPtect™ provides controlled and predictable setting characteristics while maintaining workability in conditions that can make conventional concrete placement more challenging.
Key Benefits
Designed for challenging hot and cold weather conditions
Supports concrete placement at temperatures as low as −7 °C and as high as 40 °C
Controlled and predictable setting time
Superior workability with reduced segregation and bleeding
Excellent finishing characteristics
Can reduce heating and protection requirements in cold weather
Helps reduce evaporation and moisture loss in hot weather
Can be placed using a chute, bucket, pump or conveyor
Performance
TEMPtect™ is specifically designed to perform outside the traditional temperature range for concrete placement.
The Canadian formulation can permit concrete placement in temperatures from approximately −7 °C to 40 °C, depending on the selected mix and project conditions.
When CAN/CSA A23.1 practices are followed, TEMPtect™ can provide a controlled initial set of approximately four hours, within a ±1-hour range.
The TEMPtect™ range includes mix options designed for different cold- and hot-weather conditions, allowing the appropriate solution to be selected based on ambient and concrete temperatures.
Applications
TEMPtect™ is well suited to:
Winter concrete placement
Summer concrete placement
Slabs and flatwork
Cast surfaces
Structural elements
Residential construction
Commercial construction
Industrial projects
Projects where predictable setting and finishing are critical
TEMPtect™ can also be combined with RAPIDtect™ to help maintain construction schedules during colder weather.
Concrete performance, whatever the season
TEMPtect™ helps contractors extend their construction season while maintaining the workability, finishing and performance characteristics required for quality concrete placement.
