Darcole Products DNS 166
DNS 166 is a multi-component, chloride-free, water-reducing accelerator for concrete. It promotes higher early and ultimate strengths, as it can be used year-round, even with temperatures below freezing. Concrete using DNS 166, which is placed in colder weather, maintains normal setting times without the introduction of chloride-bearing components. DNS 166 is especially effective to use in prestressed concrete repair, prestressed concrete, concrete bridge decks, pre-cast, site-cast and all steel-reinforced concrete, concrete over metal decking and roof systems, and concrete subject to 20°F temperatures.

- Advantages
Reduces bleeding and segregation.; Increases early and ultimate strengths both flexural and compressive.; Earlier use of structural concrete.; Accelerates set time.; Aids in prevethe ntion of concrete from freezing at higher dosages.; Faster stripping and reuse forms.; Provides earlier finishing of slabs.; Cohesiveness and plasticity improved, which aids in avoiding honeycombing.; Protection time requireD in cold weather is reduced.; Rate in which heat is generated during hydration is increased, which promotes earlier setting and finishing strength gain.; Superior finish ability on all flatwork and pre-cast surfaces.
- Application
DNS 166 is recommended for use at a dosage rate 14 to 18 ounces per bag for 1% or 3 gallons per 100 gallons of water for 1%.
- Limitations
DNS 166 may freeze at temperatures below 5°F. Although freezing does not harm DNS 166, precautions should be taken to protect it from freezing.
