Complex plasticizer and accelerator additive for ready-mix and precast concretes. The additive increases both early and ultimate strength of concretes and mortars, improves mix fluidity, and accelerates concrete hardening. It helps reduce energy consumption during steam curing (TVO/TO) of reinforced concrete and heating of ready-mix concrete.
Purpose:
Used to increase the workability of concrete mixes from P1 to P4 at ambient temperatures down to −5 °C, while ensuring the designed concrete performance.
Usage:
Add to the concrete or mortar mix together with mixing water. Stir thoroughly before use. The amount of additive is calculated according to the dosage (see below). Subsequent concreting or use of mortars is carried out following standard technological procedures.
Dosage:
The additive should be dosed for cement systems, concretes, and mortars in the form of a ready-to-use aqueous concentrate in the container in which it is sold, at a rate of:
- From 1 L per 100 kg of cement.
Optimal dosage should be determined in the laboratory for each specific technological case.
For mechanical dosing, it is preferable to introduce it together with the mixing water using a water dispenser. Pre-mixing with water does not reduce the additive’s quality but requires adjustment of the additive amount after dilution.
Recommendations:
The dosing container must be clean and have a precisely fixed volume.
Safety rules:
Avoid contact of the additive with the mouth or food products. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with water.
