3. Падрыхтуйце працоўнае месца: Ensure your work area is clean, stable, and protected from adverse weather conditions, especially if working in very cold temperatures.
4. Вызначыць дазоўку: The exact dosage of accelerator will depend on the desired set time and ambient temperature. Refer to the product label for specific recommendations. Generally, the accelerator is added to the mixing water.

5. Operating and Application

1. Вымерайце ваду: Measure the required amount of water for your cement or mortar mix according to the mix manufacturer's instructions.
2. Add Accelerator: Pour the measured SAKRETE Cement Mix Accelerator into the mixing water. Stir the water thoroughly to ensure the accelerator is evenly dispersed.
3. Mix Cement: Add the cement or mortar mix to the water/accelerator solution. Mix thoroughly according to the cement mix manufacturer's instructions until a uniform, workable consistency is achieved. Avoid over-mixing.
4. Apply Mix: Immediately apply the accelerated cement or mortar mix to your desired area. Work quickly, as the setting time will be significantly reduced.
5. Лячэнне: Follow standard curing practices for cementitious materials. Even with accelerated setting, proper curing is crucial for achieving full strength. The full cure time for the accelerated mix is approximately 1 day under ideal conditions.

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

This product itself requires minimal maintenance beyond proper storage. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent evaporation and contamination. Store in a cool, dry place, protected from freezing and direct sunlight. Do not allow the product to freeze. Dispose of any unused product or empty containers according to local regulations.

7. Выпраўленне непаладак

• Mix Not Setting Faster:
  • Ensure the correct dosage of accelerator was used as per the product label.
  • Verify that the ambient temperature is not excessively low, which can still slow down even accelerated mixes.
  • Check the expiration date of the accelerator and the cement mix.
  • Ensure thorough mixing of the accelerator into the water and then into the cement mix.
• Mix Setting Too Quickly:
  • Reduce the amount of accelerator used in subsequent batches.
  • Consider the ambient temperature; warmer conditions will naturally accelerate setting.
  • Ensure accurate measurement of both water and accelerator.
• Poor Mix Performance:
  • Ensure the cement mix itself is fresh and suitable for the application.
  • Verify that the accelerator is compatible with the specific type of cement being used (it is designed for Portland cement-based products).
  • Avoid adding excessive amounts of accelerator, as this can sometimes negatively impact final strength if not within recommended guidelines.
