DelaySet™ is a retarding admixture designed to keep concrete workable longer without adding extra water at the job site. Perfect for hot weather concreting, long-distance hauls, and large placements, DelaySet™ gives crews the time they need to place and finish properly, then sets normally for reliable strength.
DelaySet™ slows the initial set to provide extended placement time while preserving concrete quality and finish-ability. This retarding admixture prevents the need for water additions that weaken concrete, ensuring consistent performance even under challenging delivery or weather conditions.
United Materials offers versatile delivery options to match your project needs. Choose the right truck for efficient aggregate placement.
Best for standard bulk deliveries like base stone, gravel fills, and driveways, where direct dumping works well.
Ideal for reaching elevated or obstructed areas, such as retaining walls, hardscapes, and site grading, with reduced double handling.
Perfect for precise, long-distance placement on large projects, bridge abutments, and tight access zones requiring accuracy and minimal site disruption.
Maintains slump and placement characteristics longer so crews can work at a steady pace without rushing.
Eliminates job site water additions that reduce strength and increase shrinkage risk.
Provides controlled extension followed by standard set and strength development.
Use DelaySet™ for hot weather, long hauls, large continuous pours, or any situation where concrete risks setting before placement and finishing are complete.
No, DelaySet™ extends workability without compromising final strength when used at recommended dosages.
DelaySet™ typically extends workable time by several hours depending on temperature, haul distance, and dosage, giving crews the flexibility needed for successful placement.
Yes, DelaySet™ works with most concrete mixes and is compatible with common admixtures when added separately.
United Materials times DelaySet™ deliveries precisely to match your pour schedule, even for distant or complex job sites. Our dispatch team coordinates with contractors to ensure concrete arrives workable and ready for placement.
Every batch of DelaySet™ retarding admixture concrete is produced and tested for consistent set retardation, workability retention, and strength development. United Materials’ quality controls help contractors plan and execute successful placements under any conditions.
