DESCRIPTION:
A high range water reducing compound and super-plasticiser for free flowing concrete and high strength.
STANDARDS:
Complies to IS 9103, ASTM C 494 Type G, BS 5075 Part III.
USES:
AT-PLAST is used in the following situations:
- In floor slabs and foundation, slender design with densely packed reinforcement, walls and columns, beams and ceilings, bridges and cantilever structures
- Precast concrete elements
- Pumping concrete and tunnel linings
- In areas of concrete where form work has to be removed quickly or early loading is to be applied
- In construction of dams, chimneys etc.
ADVANTAGES:
- Substantial improvement in workability without increased water
- No risk of segregation
- Up to 15% water reduction
- Good surface finish even in slender components with packed reinforcement
- Does not contain any added chloride, i.e. chloride free
DOSAGE: 0.5% to 2.0% by weight of Cement depending upon the workability and strength. AT-PLAST is compatible with all kinds of Portland cement. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: AT-PLAST is normally added to the mixing water before its addition to the dry mix, but in most cases it is added to the freshly mixed concrete. For the Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), AT-PLAST is added to the concrete before its discharge and mixing is to be carried out for at least 3 minutes.
