Applications
Pre-cast concrete Concreting in thin and congested steel reinforcement sections Concrete slip forming Underwater concreting by using Tremie concrete Concreting where workability retention is beneficial Produces High Performance Concrete (HPC) Produces High Strength Concrete (HSC) Produces Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) Produces Water Resistant Concrete (WRC) & Produces Preplaced Aggregate Concrete (PAC) Exposed concretes Dosage The optimum dosage of POWER PLAST-ES can be determined by trials in the site. Depending on concrete mix design (sizes and types of aggregates, cement content, water/cement ratio, ambient temperature and concreting conditions), a dosage of between 0.3 and 0.9 percent by weight of cement or cementitious material is recommended.
For use with other range of dosage, contact ABADGARAN Technical Services Department.
Directions of Use
- POWER PLAST-ES could be added to a part of concrete mixing water then added to the concrete mix
- POWER PLAST-ES could be added to the concrete mix during the mixing cycle at the same time as the water or the aggregate or it could be added to ready-mix concrete before placing concrete
- Admixtures must be weighed carefully Features and Benefits Reducing the potential for AAR (Alkali-Aggregate Reaction), due to reduction of cement contents and concrete permeability Enables economies in mix designs to be achieved and reducing depreciation of concreting Equipments Significant reduction in crack propagation resulting from creep and shrinkage potential of concrete Providing great compressive strength of concrete, because of a lower water/cement ratio without increasing the amount of cement
