Admixtures & Bonding

Tenon^® Set Retarder

Tenon® Set Retarder is a ready-to-use liquid admixture that slows the rate of reaction for rapid-setting concrete repair products, including:

• Tenon® Commercial DOT Repair
• Tenon® Rapid Patch 100
• Tenon® Rapid Patch 200
• Tenon® Vertical Repair CI
• Tenon® Rapid Strength Concrete Mix SE
• Tenon® Blend-Pro

It is intended for use with these products in conditions where warm weather or other situations require extended working time for proper placement and finishing. It meets ASTM C494/C 494M (Standard Specification for Chemical Admixtures for Concrete) requirements for Type B retarding admixtures. For use with all other mixes, please contact info@tccmaterials.com to speak to a technical representative. Available in 1 gal. bottles (BOM #130030) and 5 gal. pails (BOM #130040). 

Tenon^® Air Entrainment

Tenon® Air Entrainment is a ready-to-use, aqueous solution made of organic materials. Air Entrainment entrains a small and stable amount of air into the desired mix. These small, stable air voids enhance the mixture and improve workability. Its chemical composition and physical properties make it ideal for many construction applications. It is intended for use when increased workability and freeze-thaw durability of concrete or mortar is preferred. This admixture also improves resistance to freeze/thaw, scaling, segregation, and bleeding as well as improves strength, plasticity, water retention, and cohesiveness of mortar. Meets ASTM C260 Standard Specification for Air-Entraining Admixtures for Concrete. Available in 1 gal. bottles (BOM #120377), 5 gal. pails (BOM #120879), and 55 gal. drums (BOM #130070). 

Tenon^® SuperFlow

Tenon® SuperFlow admixture is a full-range, water-reducing additive providing a more plastic and flowable concrete. It produces concrete mixes with different levels of workability to include self-consolidating concrete (SCC) applications. SuperFlow admixture meets ASTM C494/C 494M (Standard Specification for Chemical Admixtures for Concrete) compliance requirements for Type A water-reducing and Type F high-range water-reducing admixtures. Available in 1 gal. bottles (BOM #113500), 5 gal. pails (BOM #113510), and 55 gal. drums (BOM #113434).

Tenon^® Fast-Set Liquid Activator

Tenon® Fast-Set Liquid Activator is formulated specifically to be used in conjunction with Tenon® Air-Entrained Concrete Patching Mix AE in order to establish a quicker set and develop strength rapidly. When used with the patching mix, Fast-Set Liquid Activator reduces the closure time of high-traffic areas from 24 hours to 4-5 hours under normal conditions. Available in 1 gal. bottles (BOM #120593) and 5 gal. pails (BOM # 120770).

Tenon^® Level-Flo^® Primer Pro

Tenon® Level-Flo Primer Pro is a high quality, acrylic latex-based primer used with Tenon® Level-Flo self-leveling products. Level-Flo Primer Pro is applied to porous and nonporous surfaces as a substrate primer to promote bonding. This primer can also be used with other cement-based Tenon concrete repair, surface preparation, and polymer-modified thin set mortars to enhance bonding to difficult substrates such as glazed ceramic tile, terrazzo, gypsum-based underlayments, concrete treated with certain types of curing compounds (acrylic resin or silicate curing compounds only), well bonded epoxy coatings, and cold rolled steel. Level-Flo Primer or Primer Pro are required to be applied to all substrates before placing Tenon® Level-Flo Underlayments or Wear-Toppings. Available in 1 gal. bottles (BOM #129436) and 5 gal. pails (BOM #129438). 

Tenon^® Mighty Bond^™

Tenon® Mighty Bond™ is a high-solids, acrylic, liquid bonding agent that substantially improves adhesion, impact, and shear bond, tensile, and flexural and compressive strength of unmodified concrete, mortars, patches, and grouts. Additionally, Mighty Bond adds excellent freeze/thaw and salt resistance and creates more durable cement-based materials. Minimal preparation is required. Available in 1 gal. bottles (BOM #120525), 5 gal. pails (BOM #120526), and 55 gal. drums (BOM #130020).

Tenon^® Set Accelerator

Tenon® Set Accelerator is a Type C, non-chloride, non-corrosive liquid that improves workability and initial strength while it reduces the hydration time of cement. The product is recommended for use during cooler weather to accelerate set time and reduce the risk of frozen mortar and concrete mixes. It is also recommended for use when early strength gain is desired to speed up projects. Set Accelerator provides a reduced curing time, faster set time, and increased early strength. The product speeds finishing operations in any weather condition without any corrosive effects. Meets or exceeds ASTM C494 Standard Specification for Chemical Admixtures for Concrete. Available in 1 gal. bottles (BOM #120376) and 5 gal. bottles (BOM #129641).
