Abstract: Concrete inhibitors are used in fresh concrete to delay chemical setting or hardening of concrete for up to an hour. They are typically used in hot weather conditions to reduce rapid hardening due to high temperature, thus allowing time for mixing, transfer and pouring. Concrete retarders are also used as mix water reducers. Concrete surface retarders Concrete surface retarders are also called "surface retarders", and are applied to fresh concrete to chemically reduce the hardening of the concrete surface. Unlike concrete retarders, they allow the rest of the concrete to react normally, without affecting the rate of hardening or strength gain.
