How much extra time will my 226 ounces to 10 yards give me before It starts to setup?

Here are the dosage rates:
Dosage per 100 lbs/100 kg cement:
Air Temperature
40 to 69 °F ( 4 to 20 °C) 2 fl oz (130 mL)
70 to 79 °F (21 to 26 °C) 3 fl oz (196 mL)
80 to 89 °F (27 to 32 °C) 4 fl oz (260 mL)
>90 °F (>32 °C) 5 fl oz (326 mL)

The dosage will vary with temperature, density, and ratio of cement in the batch mix. 3 fl oz/100 lbs (196 mL/100
kg) of cement will extend the initial setting time of portland cement concrete by approximately 2 to 3 hours at 70
°F (21 °C). For longer setting times or in higher temperatures, additional retarder may be needed. For shorter set
times or in cooler weather, use less.

Can I add this along with my powdered color to the cement truck which I have delivering 10 yards. I figure I’ll need 226 ounces of retarder

Yes

can this be used for exposded aggreate concrete

absolutely

Can the cement retarder be used with Type S mortar to increase working time?

Yes it can!

Can this be used on vertical surfaces?

This can be used on any cementious product you wish to slow cure time.

can this be used with 80lbs. bags of Sakcrete concrete mix to slow setting time

Yes, however you need to figure out the actual cement weight in the Sakrete to figure out your dosage.

How much do you add to 1 yard of concrete?

3 oz per 100 lbs of concrete.

can this be used in quikrok..a hydraulic fast set cement grout to slow the set time......what would the amount used be for 90 degree and above temp. ..we only mix about 1 lb at a time ...and use in dry glazing for glass track

Dosage per 100 lbs/100 kg cement:
Air Temperature
40 to 69 °F ( 4 to 20 °C) 2 fl oz (130 mL)
70 to 79 °F (21 to 26 °C) 3 fl oz (196 mL)
80 to 89 °F (27 to 32 °C) 4 fl oz (260 mL)
>90 °F (>32 °C) 5 fl oz (326 mL)

For 90 degrees and above, you would be using .05 oz

will this be ok to use in quikrok a fast set cement grout to slow set time

Yes, this will slow the cure of any cement based product.

How much per yard for 1hr delay

The dosage will vary with temperature, density, and ratio of cement in the batch mix. 3 fl oz/100 lbs (196 mL/100

>90 °F (>32 °C) 5 fl oz (326 mL)

will cement retarder additive reduce the final strength of quick set mortar mix when used as recommended here?

When used as recommended,  the retarder does not have a significant impact on final strength.

what are the ingredients in the cement retarder?

We don't have a list of ingredients however the safety data sheets says all the components are non hazardous.

What is the solution ratio for spray application in exposed aggregate? Square footage rate ? Thanks for your time, Eric

This is not a topical retarder, this is mixed with the concrete.   From the tech data:
The dosage will vary with temperature, density, and ratio of cement in the batch mix. 3 fl oz/100 lbs (196 mL/100
