Prairie’s DelaySet ready-mixed concrete maintains workability for placing without extra water in the mix, then sets up normally so your crews have the time to put on a great finish. 

For Temperatures Above 77˚F​​ 

Pouring ordinary concrete is no picnic. Slump loss makes the mix harder to handle, the faster set leaves less time for finishing and surface evaporation makes troweling difficult. To top it all off, the final result can be disappointing: porous, less durable concrete or even surface blemishes and cracking. With Prairie’s DelaySet those hot weather headaches are history. 

Don’t be tempted to put extra water in your mix to maintain slump. It might keep you pumping, but it comes at a price. You get lower quality concrete: lower compressive strength, faster wear and less watertightness. So think again: Prairie’s DelaySet preserves slump and retards set without extra water.
