Sakrete of North America 65055001 Cement Accelerator 1 Gallon

Product Description

The SAKRETE OF NORTH AMERICA 65055001 is a liquid cement accelerator formulated to shorten the set time of concrete and mortar mixes. It is added directly to the mix water before batching, reducing the time from placement to initial set. This is particularly useful on job sites where cold temperatures slow the natural hydration process or where a rapid return to service is required. Licensed masons, concrete contractors, and general trade professionals use this product to maintain pour schedules when ambient or substrate temperatures are low.

This accelerator is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving poured concrete, masonry mortar, and repair mixes. It is most commonly used in cold weather conditions where freezing temperatures threaten to stall hydration, but it also serves any application where accelerated set time improves workflow. The product is packaged in a 1-gallon unit, sold in cases of 4, making it practical to stock on job sites or in service vehicles during extended cold-weather work periods.

Key Features

• Accelerates set time in concrete and mortar mixes
• Formulated for cold weather concreting conditions
• Liquid form mixes easily into batch water before use
• Supports faster return-to-service on time-sensitive pours
• Packaged in 1-gallon containers, 4 units per case

Compatibility

Designed for use with portland cement-based concrete and mortar mixes as a set-accelerating admixture.

Installation Notes

Add the accelerator to the mix water prior to combining with dry cementitious materials; do not add directly to dry mix without dilution in water first. Follow dosage instructions on the product label, as overdosing can negatively affect long-term strength. Work in accordance with ACI cold weather concreting guidelines when placing in temperatures at or near freezing. Protective gloves and eye protection should be worn when handling liquid admixtures.
