Carpol(N)

DESCRIPTION:

AT-CARPOL (N) is a new generation of concrete admixture based on a blend of specially selected high molecular weight poly-carboxylates and organic polymers.

STANDARDS:

AT-CARPOL (N) conforms to IS: 9103-1999 and ASTM C-494.

USES:

• AT-CARPOL (N) can be used to either produce an extremely workable FLOWING CONCRETE without loss of strength to enable large water reduction to be made for the same workability which results in a dense, water tight concrete with higher, early and ultimate strength. Water reduction up to 40% can be achieved through proper quality control.

ADVANTAGES:

• Substantial improvements in workability and flow properties without any increase in water, produces self-compacting concrete which can be poured into places around congested reinforcement and require little (or no) vibration to achieve optimum compaction. The bond strength of concrete to reinforcing steel is considerably increased.
• The internal friction and thixotropic of the mix is reduced to a minimum without the risk of segregation, thus making the concrete very much workable.
• Very significant water reduction minimizes shrinkage or cracking, producing close textured impervious concrete with improved durability and surface finish. This is of particular importance in liquid retaining and water bearing structures. AT-CARPOL (N) is suitable for use in most type of concrete above and below ground subject to surface water, water under pressure and aggressive atmospheric conditions.
• For a given concrete mix keeping the cement consumption and workability constant, large reduction in the amount of mixing water (up to 40%) can be achieved to produce concrete of very high strength.

TECHNICAL DATA:

DOSAGE:

• 0.3% to 1.0% by weight of cement

RATE OF ADDITION:

• With small dosage the increment of slump is more. The dosage depends on the cement content and
  the W/C ratio.

HANDLING:

• AT-CARPOL (N) is formulated from chemicals, which present no fire or health hazards.

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

• Although the basic formulation of our products generally remains unchanged, production
  refinements arising from continuing research and evaluation program may occasionally results in
  marginal changes in properties.

PACKAGING & STORAGE:

• AT-CARPOL (N) is available in the following pack:
  • 200 kg HDPE barrel
