WATER REDUCING CUM SET RETRADING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE
SUNKEM PLAST - R is a high performance water reducing cum set retarding concrete admixture based on selected organic polyemers which when added delay the initial setting properties of concrete and a simultaneously increassing workability. Slow dispersion of heat evolved by by addition of SUNKEM PLAST - R prevents cold joints in mass concreting and is very useful for transportation or placing of concrete for longer distance and or to retain there workability of concrete particularly in hot weather conditions.
ADVANTAGE
The addition of SUNKEM PLAST - R provides the following beneficial properties.
* Increase setting time at elevated temperature.
* Improve workability and flow properties without increasing water.
* Prevent rapid slump loss (higher retention)
* Increase ultimate strength without addition of cement content or loss of workability.
* Reduce segregation, bleeding shrinkage or creep.
* Increase ultimate strength without addition of cement content or loss of workability.
* Reduce segregation, bleeding shrinkage or creep.
* Avoid cold joints thus monolithic concrete texture.
* Produce a highly impermeable concrete structure for a permanent protection from water ingress.
USES
* Ready mix concrete manufacturing units.
* Transportation of concrete to longer distance or delayed placing.
* Chimneys, High rise buildings, Using slip form shutters, Towers.
* All structural, concrete placing at elevated temperature.
* Mass concrete pours to avoid cold joints.
* Offshore construction and pilling works.
