DESCRIPTION:
A water reducing compound and super-plasticiser for free flowing and high strength concrete. It is based on Naphthalene Formaldehyde. STANDARDS: Complies to IS 9103, ASTM C 494 Type A & D, BS 5075 Part III.
USES:
AT-PLAST (PP) is used in the following situations:
- Pre-stressed concrete
- Precast concrete elements
- In concrete brick and block manufacturing
- In floor slabs and foundation, slender design with densely packed reinforcement, walls and columns, beams and ceilings, bridges and cantilever structures
- In areas of concrete where form work has to be removed quickly or early loading is to be applied
- In hot weather condition, it extends workability
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: 0.3% to 0.5% by weight of Cement depending upon the workability and strength. AT-PLAST (PP) is compatible with all kinds of Portland cement. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: AT-PLAST (PP) 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 (PP) is added to the concrete before its discharge and mixing is to be carried out for at least 3 minutes.
