Produces increased workability without loss of strength, increased strength without loss of workability, or cement reduction without loss of workability or strength. Ideal for Readymix plants for normal or extended runs, or for site operations, to avoid cold joints and assist pumping and placing. A concrete admixture to produce concrete of increased density and reduced porosity. 6.0 litres per cubic meter of concrete. Enables the concrete to be pumped or tremied.
Retardation allows for concrete to be moved on barges or pumped a long distance without setting.
Can produce air entrained concrete without the usual loss of strength or additional cement content usually required. To produce air-entrained concrete for marine environments and cold rooms, increases pumpability and cohesion. Reduces segregation and bleeding. 1.2 litres per 100 kgs of cement. Normally used as an additive or cement replacement in concrete in order to achieve extremely high strengths, or lower hear of hydration in bulk concrete.
