Description
Designed specifically as a liquid additive for developing Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) Blocks and Lightweight Foamed Concrete Brick, ADDAGE CLC HARDENER provides a means to maximise the efficiency of the production of these products.
Manufactured by Addage – a reputable supplier of construction chemicals – ADDAGE CLC HARDENER is formulated using an advanced hardening agent andwill act as both an accelerator for quicker setting and will enhance the overall strength of the CLC Block at both an early and final stage.
ADDAGE CLC HARDENER will aid in the setting of the cement, promote full hydration of the cement within the concrete mix and ensure consistency in the production of CLC Blocks.
As ADDAGE CLC HARDENER is produced in an easily mixed liquid form, it is well suited for the production of CLC blocks in modern manufacturing plants that focus on increased production capacity, reduced waste and improved overall physical characteristics of the product.
Key Features
ADDAGE CLC HARDENER is developed to yield increased early strength gain and improve the setting performance of lightweight concrete.
In addition, ADDAGE CLC HARDENER will act as a plasticiser which will promote dispersion and hydration of the cement particles within the concrete mix, thereby improving the overall density and strength of the CLC Block when compared to the same block produced without ADDAGE CLC HARDENER.
ADDAGE CLC HARDENER will also promote quicker setting of the concrete mix and quicker removal from the moulds, thereby reducing the overall production cycle times.
ADDAGE CLC HARDENER will improve the overall finish of precast units and reduce the incidence of breaks in the precast units during the handling and curing stages of the manufacturing process, thereby allowing the user to produce a more consistent product and lower rates of rejection due to defects.

Dosage Guidelines
The dosage of ADDAGE CLC HARDENER depends on cement type, mix design, density of CLC blocks, and desired setting time. It is added during the mixing stage and should be thoroughly mixed to ensure uniform distribution throughout the slurry.
Proper dosing helps achieve optimal early strength, faster setting, and improved surface finish. Trial mixes are recommended to determine the most suitable dosage for specific production requirements. Always follow Addage’s technical recommendations for best and consistent results.
Product Benefits
ADDAGE CLC HARDENER helps manufacturers achieve reliable block quality while optimizing production efficiency and reducing operational losses.
Packing
ADDAGE CLC HARDENER can be provided in both 60 kg and 250 kg containers for small and large CLC block manufacturers. The robust packaging assures safe preparation, accommodating storage, and transportation inside your manufacturing centre.
Storage & Shelf Life
The product should always be stored in a cool, dry place away from the sun and sources of extreme heat. The lids of the containers should remain closed until you need to use them so that contamination and evaporation do not occur.
If the product is stored according to the recommended storage conditions, it will continue to perform as intended over its entire shelf life as defined by the manufacturer.
