DESCRIPTION:
AT-PLAST 260 (I) M is a highly effective water-reducing agent and super plasticiser for promoting accelerated hardening and free flowing concrete. Does not contain any added Chloride.
STANDARDS:
It complies with IS: 9103 and ASTM C 494/C 494M -99a Type E
USES:
- AT-PLAST 260 (I) M is useful where excellent where high early strength combined with powerful water reduction is required with excellent flow-ability.
- AT-PLAST 260 (I) M is used for the following types of concrete:
- Ready mix concrete
- Pumped and construction concrete
- Slip form concrete
- Concrete at mild to cold temperatures
ADVANTAGES:
- Combination of hardening accelerator and high range water reducer
- Excellent high early strength
- Good workability and slump life
- Compatible with air entraining agents
- Non-toxic, does not promote corrosion
- Ultimate strength is not affected
- Also suitable at very low atmospheric temperature

CONSISTENCY:
- AT-PLAST 260 (I) M is formulated from carefully selected raw materials and is manufactured under controlled condition to produce consistent product.
HANDLING:
- AT-PLAST 260 (I) M is formulated from chemicals, which present no fire or health hazards.
RATE OF ADDITION:
- With small dosage the increment of slump is more. The dosage depends on the cement content and the W/C ratio.
DOSAGE:
- Minimum Dosage should not be less than 0.25% by weight of cement
- For soft plastic concrete 0.6 – 0.85 by weight of cement
- For flowing self-compacting concrete (S.C.C) 0.8 – 1.2% by weight of cement
- Actual dosage depends on site trial
ADDITION : AT-PLAST 260 (I) M is added to the gauging water or added into the concrete mixer. To obtain the optimum result of high water reduction we recommend thorough mixing at a minimal wet mixing time of 60 seconds. Addition of remaining gauging water to be fine-tuned as per concrete consistency, the same may only be started after 2/3 minutes of the wet mixing time to avoid surplus water in the concrete.
