DESCRIPTION:
AT-PLAST 100G is a Water-Reducing and Set-Retarding Concrete Admixture based on carboxylicacid and other additives. AT-PLAST 100G is new generation concrete admixture in liquid form that acts as a set retarder with high plasticizing effect. It leads to substantial water reduction and this is achieved without loss of workability. AT-PLAST 100G is highly effective in producing concrete with varied levels of workability including applications such as Self Compacting Concrete (SCC).
STANDARD:
AT-PLAST 100G complies with ASTM C-494 Type D & G
ADVANTAGES:
- Maximise effectiveness of dosage for a given water reduction
- Controlled rheology
- Improves retention of slump and workability
- High early strength development
- Improves finish and surface appearance
- May reduce / eliminate need for vibration and heat curing
- Increases productivity
- Improves concrete durability
USES:
- Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)
- Pumped and wet sprayed concrete
- Reinforced concrete with high density steel
- Precast concrete
- Low permeability concrete
- Under water concrete
- Marine weather conditions
- Freeze / thaw exposure
- Industrial flooring concrete
- Backfilling concrete, mortar and grouts
DOSAGE:
- Dosage recommend in normal condition is 800 ml – 1200 ml per 100 kg of cementitious binder content
- In difficult conditions increase the dose to longer the set time
- Actual dosage rate required is dependent on effect sought; quality of cement and aggregates; W/C ratio; temperature, etc
- In many cases it is advisable to carry out prior trial mixes to determine the exact dosage
- AT-PLAST 100G is compatible with all types of Portland cement including S.R.C. or pozzolanic materials
DISPENSING:
- AT-PLAST 100G should be dispensed directly into the mixing water prior to its addition to the aggregates.
