Cebex 311 is a chloride-free plasticising and retarding admixture based on a blend of organic retarders. It is supplied as a straw coloured solution which readily disperses in water.
Cebex 311 enhances the dispersion of cement particles in a mortar mix, exposing a greater surface area of cement to the mixing water and enabling the water content of the mortar to perform more effectively.
The initial hydration of cement is also delayed. Careful selection of dosage and use in combination with Cebex or Conplast air entraining agents allows extension of the working life of a pre-mixed mortar as suitable for the bricks or blocks to be laid. Once between the bricks or blocks, water is drawn from the mortar. This causes acceleration of the stiffening and the mortar then sets and performs in a similar manner to conventional nonretarded mortars.
