ABAGEL

MODIFIED SILICA FUME GEL

DESCRIPTION

ABAGEL is a modified silica fume gel which improves the rheological properties of concrete. It is based on a highly pozzolanic materials that can significantly reduce water absorption and increases the compressive strength of concrete and makes concrete impermeable.

ABAGEL comprises the following chemicals:

Silica fume.
Super plasticizer.

This product can be evaluated using the following standards:

ASTM C1202,

BS EN 12390-8, BS 1881-122

Method

DOSAGE
The optimum dosage of ABAGEL can be determined by trials in the site. Depending on concrete
mix design (concrete type, workability, compressive strength, size and type of aggregates,cement content, water/cement ratio, ambient temperature and concreting conditions),
a dosage of between 5.0 and 9.0 percent by weight of cement is recommended.
For using a dosage out of the above-mentioned range, contact ABADGARAN Technical Services Department.
Please contact Technical Services Department in case of simultaneously use of more than one admixture.

DIRECTION OF USE
ABAGEL can be added to concrete in two ways:
1- ABAGEL could be added to ready-mix concrete before placing concrete.
2-ABAGEL could be added to whole or a part of mixing water then added to the concrete mix.
