The Importance of Using Concrete Hardening Additives

The use of concrete hardening additives in residential building concrete mixtures is crucial for strengthening the building structure. Certainly, everyone wants their home to be strong and durable, as a house serves as shelter for its occupants.

However, in constructing a strong house, several factors need attention, one of which is the selection of building materials, including cement, gravel, sand, and even the addition of concrete hardening additives for concrete structures.

How Important Are Concrete Hardening Additives?

The answer is CRUCIAL! Currently, residential construction in Indonesia rarely uses concrete hardening additives because the culture of construction workers here typically only uses cement, sand, and gravel. However, the use of concrete hardening additives in concrete mixtures plays a vital role.

Advantages of Using Concrete Hardening Additives

We highly recommend using concrete hardening additives for home construction, due to several advantages compared to not using them:

• Facilitates pouring, allowing concrete mixture to set according to our requirements
• Improves concrete quality and accelerates concrete hardening
• Reduces porosity in concrete by reducing water evaporation during the hardening process
• Makes formwork easier to remove

Mixing Process and Application is Relatively Simple

Consol’s concrete hardening additive consists of only one component under the brand name Consol Super Strength. Simply add it to the concrete mixture, and it will set quickly without requiring additional water, making the concrete ready for use.

The concrete will harden in just 14 days, whereas concrete typically takes 28 days to fully harden. This ensures more efficient construction time for your home. Additionally, water usage can be minimized, reducing porosity in concrete caused by water expansion.

Choose the Best Concrete Hardening Additive

Don’t choose the wrong product, as there’s no room for experimentation in home construction. Consol recommends our flagship concrete hardening additive product, Consol Super Strength, which you can easily purchase through the Tokopedia marketplace.
