The Importance of Using a Michigan Concrete Accelerator
Without a concrete accelerator, your road reconstruction projects are going to be done at a significantly slower rate, which means you spend more on labor, time, and equipment. Not to mention, traffic will be slowed down. All in all, it is a bad idea to do such a time-sensitive and time-consuming project without a Michigan Concrete Accelerator, specifically calcium chloride. Depending on the temperature, weather conditions, and type of accelerator you use, your concrete curing time can be reduced by one to two hours.
Though using calcium chloride to accelerate the speed of setting your concrete and accelerating the rate of hydration for your concrete is beneficial, it is important to know how to properly use it in order to get the most out of the admixture.

Step 1: Strategize
When you lay your concrete, it is important to consider when and where your project is taking place. Concrete accelerators are ideal for those bitter cold construction days that those in the midwest fully understand. Any time a location’s temperature falls under 70 degrees, it will increase the time spent for solidifying the concrete.
Step 2: Choosing Your Admixture
Concrete accelerators can benefit projects immensely when they are used correctly. It is important to pick the correct admixture for your concrete and your project.
Step 3: Calcium Chloride
Using Great Lake Chloride’s calcium chloride in your concrete and mixture can greatly reduce bleeding from the concrete and improve workability.
Step 4: Profit & Performance
Once your concrete is set and dried, you can enjoy reduced costs thanks to the quickness of the project, the improved performance of your concrete, and increased profits all thanks to Great Lake Chloride’s Michigan Concrete Accelerator.
Calcium Chloride is a must-have!
Calcium Chloride has been a ‘must have’ at concrete construction job sites for about 50 years. It has proven time and time again how reliable and dependable it is for all concrete projects. Studies have shown that projects that use a Michigan Concrete Accelerator have seen a 65% set time reduction. All of this depends on the temperature of course, but in the past and present, it has a lot of pros when it comes to project efficiency. For example, a 2% admixture of calcium chloride at 50 degrees Fahrenheit is comparable to those attainable at 70 degrees Fahrenheit without admixture. Calcium Chloride is seen to be most significant in temperatures ranging from 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Without using calcium chloride in your concrete, delays in projects can impact the project’s timeline and decrease worker productivity. The average set time for concrete is 48 hours, but as the weather cools down that set time can be increased significantly.
How You Can Accelerate?
There’s no need to wait for summer to get started on your projects! Using Great Lakes Chloride can help speed up your setting time during the harsh colder months of the year!
