Cement & Concrete Admixtures


  • ADDCON-LW

    Waterproofing Concrete & Mortar Admixture

    Description

    A concrete/mortar admixture in liquid form that acts both as a highly efficient plasticizer
    and waterproofing compound.

    Uses

    ADDCON LW+ is recommended for use in structural and mass concrete, Particularly for water-retaining structures, such as:

    • Reservoirs and Dams
    • Sewerage Works
    • Canals
    • Culvert Tunnels
    • Roof Slabs
    • Rendering

    Advantages

    ADDCON LW+ provides the following beneficial properties :

    • Improved workability without increased water content
    • Allows easier compaction leading to denser concrete and superior finish
    • Reduced shrinkage
    • Improved water tightness
    • Chloride free – does not attack reinforcement

    Dosage

    0.2% by weight of cement.

    Dispensing

    ADDCON LW+ liquid is added directly to the part of the mixing water prior to its addition to the wet aggregate – cement mix. Where overdosing accidentally occurs, apart from retardation of the initial set no detrimental effect will take place.

  • ADDPLAST-VISCO

    High range water reducing PC based cement admixture.

    Description

    Addplast-viscois a third generation super plasticizer for concrete and mortar. It meets the requirements for super plasticizers
    Addplast-viscois especially suitable for the production of concrete mixes which require high early strength development, powerful water reduction and excellent flowability.

    Uses

    • Precast concrete
    • Fast track concrete
    • In situ concrete requiring fast stripping time
    • Self Compacting Concrete (SCC)

    Characteristics

    Addplast-visco as a powerful super plasticizer acts by different mechanisms. Through surface adsorption and sterical effects separating the binder particles the following properties are achieved:

    • Increase in the early strength development, resulting in very economic stripping times for precast and in situ concrete
    • Extremely powerful water reduction, resulting in high density, high strength and reduced permeability for water etc.
    • Excellent plasticizing effect, resulting in improved flow ability, placing and compacting behavior.
    • Reduced energy cost for steam cured precast elements
    • Especially suitable for the production of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC)
    • Improved shrinkage and creep behavior
    • Reduced closure times for repairs of roads and runways
    • Addplast-visco does not contain chlorides or other ingredients promoting corrosion of steel reinforcement. It is therefore suitable for reinforced and prestressed steel.

    Techinical Detail

    • Chemical Base Modified Polycarboxylates
    • Relative Density 1.08 kg/l at 30°C

    Consumption / Dosage Recommended dosage

    • For medium workability: 0.2 – 0.8% by weight of cement
    • For concrete of high workability, very low water/cement ration and for self compacting concrete: 1.0 – 2.0% by weight of cement.
    • Actual dosage to be finalized on the basis of site trials.

    Application /Conditions / Limitations

    Important: Always conduct trials before combining products in specific mixes.
