    Drying accelerator for white portland cement

    Hi there. Can anyone please help me.

    I am trying to find a suitable accelerator to speed up the drying time of white portland cement. it needs to be a dry powder accelerator.

    please advise.

    Calcium chloride is the most commonly used accelerator.

    Prevac,

     

    While Michael is correct that Calcium Chloride is the most commonly-used accelerator , it is extremely deliquescent.

     

    Using it in the dry form may result in the formation of lumps in the cement, depending on whether the cement is to be stored for a prolonged period, or used immediately.

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Ted.
