Plast(MMF)

DESCRIPTION:

AT-PLAST (MMF) is a high range water reducing and accelerating super plasticizer.

STANDARDS:

It complies with ASTM C494: Type A, C, E & F, IS 9103, IS 2645 and BS 5075 : Part I

PROPERTIES:

• High range water reducer designed to obtain rehoplastic concrete without segregation
• Reduction of 15-20% water contents whilst maintaining workability, durability & impermeability
• The increase in strength, especially evident at early ages remains at later ages, both in air cured and steam cured processes
• Acts catalytically to increase the rate of hardening of cement particles thereby leading to higher early strength
• Translucent colour enables use with white Cement concrete
• Produces highly impermeable, dense concrete with enhanced durability
• Enables precast units to be de-moulded within 12 to 16 hours
• Increases ultimate compressive strength and other strength developing properties
• Compatible with all type of cement including sulphate resisting
• Reduce the placing problems in hot weather concrete
• Improve trowel ability & surface finish
• Reduces the incidence of honeycombing and cold joints during vibration
• Reduce water contents would be of benefit to reduce permeability

APPLICATION AREAS:

• Pre-cast concrete manufacture
• White cement concrete
• In complicated formwork or with congested reinforcement
• In hot weather condition it extends workability
• Bridges and cantilever structures
• Pre-stressed concrete
• Floor slabs
• Foundations
• Walls and columns
• Beams and slabs
• For fair face concrete

TECHNICAL DATA:

DIRECTION FOR USE:

• SETTING TIME
  • AT-PLAST (MMF) acts efficiently to give controlled quick setting.
  • Setting time of concrete mixes is related to cement type and ambient temperatures.

• EFFECT OF OVER DOSAGE
  • Slightly retardation of initial set
  • Slight increase in air contents
  • Providing the concrete is properly cured, the ultimate strength of the concrete will not be adversely affected and will be generally higher than for normal concrete.

• MIXING
  • AT-PLAST (MMF) should be added to concrete during mixing cycle at same time as the water and aggregates.
  • Never add AT-PLAST (MMF) to the dry cement

• DISPENSING:
  • AT-PLAST (MMF) is introduced into the mixer together with mixing water. The plasticizing effect or water reduction is higher if the admixture is added to the concrete after 50-70% of the mixing water has been added.
  • Addition of AT-PLAST (MMF) to dry aggregate or cement is not recommended.

• CURING:
  • Fresh poured concrete must be cured properly, particular at high temperatures in order to prevent plastic and drying shrinkages and cracks.
  • Use ADO Curing Compounds to achieve best results or apply wet hessians.

PACKAGING & STORAGE:
