Shotcrete, Tunneling & Mining Products

TSA TARGET Shotcrete Accelerator™

TSA TARGET SHOTCRETE ACCELERATOR™ is a chloride-free, dry powder accelerator designed for use with shotcrete. It is also suitable for use as a set accelerator in other Portland cement products such as concrete mixes and fence post mixes.

Used for:

  • A major use for this product is in accelerated shotcrete for mining, tunneling or rock stabilization operations where rapid set or high early strength are required for structural support.
  • Accelerated shotcrete is also used for rapid sealing of water seepage through rock, earth or concrete.
  • Production of fast setting concrete using conventional portland cement, for example fence post mix.

Advantages:

  • In addition to the advantages of rapid set and high early strength, TSA TARGET SHOTCRETE ACCELERATOR is less caustic and less hazardous to personnel than the Portland cement products to which it is added.
  • The dry powder form of this product is ideal for dry-process shotcrete applications and provides added convenience for transportation, storage and application.
  • TSA TARGET SHOTCRETE ACCELERATOR gives less reduction in ultimate strength than most other dry powder accelerators and performs more effectively than most accelerators at low temperatures.
