DeCAL 9090
- Chemical Family
- Lithium & Lithium Compounds
DeCAL 9090 is a cost-effective hydration accelerator for fast-set binder systems, enhancing early strengths and optimizing set times. It's compatible with all cement types. DeCAL 9090 is a unique additive blend that interacts to increase set times and high early strengths in Portland cement containing either HAC or CSA. It provides a modern alternative to the use of high-alkali salts such as lithium in accelerating set times.

- Mechanism of Action
DeCAL 9090 accelerates setting times and increases early strength through faster activation of the hydration process in Portland, HAC and CSA cement phases. It is compatible with all types of hydraulic binders and all types of additives.; DeCAL 9090 has a significant benefit over lithium accelerators as it reacts with the Portland, HAC and CSA elements of a cement mix. High alkali salt-based accelerators only react with the HAC and CSA elements.; DeCAL 9090 is effective in the majority of applications, however in the presence of low temperatures or where even higher early strength is desired DeCAL 9095 is recommended due to its higher active content.
