Additive especially designed to give mortars and concretes greater cohesion, greater plasticity and considerably improved handling.

APPLICATIONS

Concretes and mortars where the following are required:

  • Plasticity.
  • Reduced amounts of cement.
  • Improved handling.
  • Increased quality and resistance.
  • Prevention of blocking in pumps.

Can be used as a water reduction agent, reducing the amount of water in the mix by about 10%, thus increasing the mortar's resistance.

PROPERTIES

  • Reduces shrinkage of the cement and prevents segregation, providing a more even mix.
  • Has a secondary aeration effect, , that is, it causes small air bubbles that have a lubricating effect. This aeration effect is approximately 2%.
  • Provides resistance to freezing/melting cycles. That is, it has a partial anti-freeze effect.
  • Does not alter setting times.
  • Since it is free of chlorides, it does not cause any corrosion and therefore can be used in reinforced concretes.

 

 

COVERAGE

  • 7g of product for each 35 kg sack of cement.
  • 5g of product for each 25 kg sack of cement.

METHOD OF USE

The product is used undiluted straight from the can.
It is added to part of the water in the mix and after about 30 seconds' mixing of the aggregate with the cement and the rest of the water.

A double strength is recommended for concrete transport and pumping.
