After Russia pledged to scale back its military operations around Kyiv and in northern Ukraine, the prices of most industrial metals fell, led by aluminum, showing people's concerns for supply shortage eased.

At an earlier time, the West imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, which aroused concerns about the supply problem because Russia is a major producer of nickel, aluminum, and copper. 

Russia is also a major gas supplier to Europe, where potential supply disruptions are seen as hitting power-intensive aluminum and zinc production.  

"Hopes that Russia and Ukraine will reach an agreement to end the conflict have led to a sudden change in prices," said one metals analyst.

The prices of other commodities like the Concrete Additives are still very uncertain.

1. Introduction of Alkali-free concrete accelerator

Alkali-free concrete accelerator is a new generation, environmentally-friendly, chlorine-free and alkali-free liquid accelerator developed by using a new synthetic technology of inorganic and organic materials. It can significantly promote water and mud hydration and increase the strength of concrete, and it has good compatibility with various cements.

The alkali-free concrete accelerator can be widely used in the wet spraying construction process of various projects, reducing dust during construction, less rebound loss, good concrete homogeneity, and significant economic benefits.

2. Technical performance of Alkali-free concrete accelerator

The setting time is fast, the initial setting adhesion is good, and the thickness of one shot can be 8-150mm. Low resilience and good workability. The working face is free of dust, chlorine, and alkali, which is beneficial to the health of operators. There is basically no loss in the later strength of concrete.

3. Dosage range of Alkali-free concrete accelerator

The dosage of this agent is 6-9% of the cement weight. It can replace the same amount of water, and the actual mixing amount should be determined after adjustments are made according to the cement type, label and construction temperature.

4. Scope of adaptation of Alkali-free concrete accelerator

This product is suitable for spray concrete construction and leak plugging of underground engineering such as mine engineering, coal mine, shaft engineering, highway, railway, traffic tunnel engineering, shotcrete anchor support concrete, urban construction, national defense, water conservancy, and ground cement concrete. Construction and concrete emergency rescue, emergency repair and reinforcement works.

5. How to use Alkali-free concrete accelerator

Before using this agent, it is necessary to make a trial mix of the cement and this agent for adaptability and optimum mixing amount. It is recommended to use a water reducing agent in conjunction with a low water-cement ratio to achieve better results.

The content of accelerator can be controlled by a flow hopper or a precision water meter.

This product should be stirred evenly after opening the barrel. If it cannot be used up at one time, it should be sealed and stored.

If it comes in contact with the skin, rinse immediately with clean water, if it splashes into the eyes, rinse with clean water, and seek medical help for disposal.

6. Packaging and storage of Alkali-free concrete accelerator

Packed in plastic drum, 250kg/drum, can be packed according to user requirements.

During transportation, load and unload with care to prevent spillage. It should be stored in a warehouse, protected from rain and sun. The validity period is six months.

Low resilience and good workability. The working face is free of dust, chlorine, and alkali, which is beneficial to the health of operators. There is basically no loss in the later strength of concrete. Researchers at the University of Warwick in the UK have developed a lithium battery technology innovation. Adding graphene beams doubles battery life. By strengthening the structure of the anode with graphene beams, they have found an effective way to replace the graphite in the anode with silicon. Thereby increasing the capacity of the lithium-ion battery and more than doubling the lifespan.
As a supplier of anode materials for lithium batteries, we also provide Concrete Additives. We will continue to provide Concrete Additives for the global market, please feel free to contact us.
